Gingham Is Back: Nigerian Brands Giving the Classic Check a Fresh Fashion Twist

1 / 7

Once known mainly as school-uniform and tablecloth fabric, gingham is finding a stylish new place in Nigerian fashion. The familiar checked pattern is being reimagined in playful sets, flowing dresses, skirts and statement pieces. Brands such as Nyosi, Ivory Afrikaan, Nandra and Kaykay are putting modern spins on gingham with ruffles, bubble silhouettes, sailor-inspired cuts and versatile separates. Fruché also featured bold gingham looks in its recent runway collection. For a more traditional take, Malité combines the checked effect with hand-dyed Adire on cotton chiffon. Whether you prefer a soft babydoll dress, a dramatic skirt or a coordinated set, there is a gingham look to suit different personal styles.
