It means being rock’n’roll up to, but not beyond, the two-martinis-on-a-school night watermark. You put on your leopard-print pencil skirt and you’re, like, mentally high-fiving Diane von Fürstenberg as you leave for the office.
But what does gingham mean? This is a matter of some urgency, because gingham is owning spring 2016. Gigi Hadid wears a red-and-white gingham high waisted bikini in American Vogue this month, and wore a black-and-white gingham one-piece swimsuit on her birthday.

A grown-up, contemporary variation was seen at Stella McCartney, who plays with an asymmetric print in bold primary colours.
