Gingham and checks have been everywhere this summer and it seems the trend is continuing on into fall. I've already started my fall wish-list but haven't pressed the button on any cold-weather pieces yet. Since summer is coming to a close but the weather hasn't quite turned, this is the perfect time to incorporate pieces into your wardrobe that you can wear NOW and LATER, like denim, layering tees and a quintessential check shirt.

In a black and white pattern and crisp silhouette, this button-up has a bit more edge than your typical gingham piece. I paired it with my favorite black destructed jean, studded belt and strappy heel to keep the look modern. I can't wait till September when I can layer a leather jacket and bootie with it! Its versatility is endless and since the pattern is a classic, it's worth hanging on too for seasons to come.
