Gingham, the simple two-tone picnic table check, is big this spring. And small. And, well, everywhere in between. Whether crisply pressed or rumpled and worn, the all-American cloth is the quintessential shirting fabric for a season filled with longer, hotter days and the possibility of leaving early on Fridays. It's no wonder then, that so many labels are offering gingham button-downs in checks of all sizes.
