Amal Clooney Nails The Gingham Trend

by May Sofi

Mrs. Clooney has garnered a reputation for being the ultimate fashionista, constantly at the forefront of new and emerging fashion trends and always getting them just right. In her latest style success, Amal Clooney wore a sleeveless gingham jacket, showing us all how to nail the mod checkered trend. The 37-year-old already slays the red carpet fashion game like it's her job, but now she proves she can do street-wear too.

The gorgeous vest-jacket hybrid featured an oversized black and white gingham print with some interesting striped checkers in the mix. The double breasted piece had large front lapels and multiple buttons — small details that make a big difference on the chicness scale. Clooney paired the standout garment with distressed jeans, a simple black top, black leather heels, and some layered necklaces. Without the bold gingham jacket, this would be a pretty mundane outfit.

This impeccable gingham piece is by a brand called Tome, and for a whopping $1,395 it could be yours — but who the heck can afford that?!

If you're obsessing over this look as much as I am and don't want to break the bank, here are some other gingham options that are actually affordable.
