The Best Gingham Shirts For Women Over 50

Gingham is having a moment! It’s not just for tablecloths, lol. In fact, I’ve found some of the best gingham shirts for women over 50, and not one of them is red! I’m bringing you shirts from several of my favorite retailers, and you’ll see that the prevailing color combo is black and white. Hey, it’s a classic color combo for a classic shirt. Plus, no one will think you stole a tablecloth.
Below are some older posts from WAY back…I’ve been a fan of gingham for a long time.

This gingham print shirt just arrived last week, and I couldn’t wait to take a few photos with it. Even if gingham wasn’t trending, I would still wear this shirt. This outfit manages to look comfortable, relaxed, and stylish all at the same time.

I love how the placket’s gingham check is turned on an angle. That gives the shirt more visual interest. Plus, can you see the dotted print on the inside of the cuffs, neckline, and placket? Rolling up the sleeves and letting the dotted design show looks super cute.

Gingham is a “happy” print, and it always makes me smile. This green and white Gingham Lightweight Cotton Shirt is the perfect spring and summer shirt! It has long sleeves for chilly mornings that can be rolled up as the temperatures rise.

The Teddie Sweater looks adorable over the gingham button-up shirt. The sweater is lightweight and not bulky, so it is a perfect layering sweater. You can wear the sweater alone or under a jacket if you don’t want to pair it with a collared shirt. This sweater comes in lots of different colors, and you are bound to find a couple of colors that would be perfect for you. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits me great. You can size up if you want a more relaxed look.
This classic button-down in black and white can be worn all year round. Made from lightweight, airy cotton poplin that’s been washed for a soft, lived-in feel, this shirt is a versatile staple. It also features a handy chest pocket and a back yoke with a box pleat for added comfort. It’s a very affordable way to get in on the trend. Pair it with jeans or some white trousers and a cute pair of tennis shoes.
How sweet is this Puff Sleeve Smock Shirt? I love the sleeve and ruffle neckline. It’s a cute, lightweight, and breathable shirt that can be worn casually or dressed up for fancier events. If you’re not into gingham but like the silhouette, there are several variations at the link. I have this in the Camel Cheetah print; it is one of my best sellers.

Check out the effortlessly stylish No Iron™ Stretch Gingham Shirt from Chico’s, one of my all-time favorite retailers! This customer favorite is famous for its wrinkle-free, no-iron fabric, meaning you’ll look polished straight out of the dryer. You can wear it alone or as a layering piece. It would look chic with dark wash jeans and black loafers.
You should know by now how much I love the brand CeCe! This cute top features a charming combination of cheery checks and tiny blooms, creating a look that’s modern and feminine. Made from a lightweight blend of polyester and rayon, it’s perfect for day-long wear. You know I love the split neck and short sleeves with a ruffle. It’s all about the details!

Don’t pass on this cute Eileen Fisher linen button-up shirt because it’s sleeveless. That’s what cardigans are for! Perfect for hot days, its lightweight design makes it a perfect piece for layering. Click the link to see how chic it looks paired with white linen pants. Throw on some bold-colored sandals for a pop of color!
Pink is another color that I found a lot in my quest for gingham. This top from Talbot’s is an easy way to add a pop of playful charm to your wardrobe. It features a classic neckline and is made from a comfortable cotton blend with just a touch of spandex for that perfect fit. Available in a range of sizes, including petite and plus, it’s a great piece to incorporate into any outfit for a touch of summery flair.

I told you pink was big! This 100% Linen Boyfriend Shirt offers a relaxed fit that’s perfect for laid-back days. Its lightweight linen fabric makes it great for warm weather. Linen is known for breathability and feels wonderful against the skin. Because it’s a “boyfriend” shirt, it will be oversized, so if you want a more tailored fit, be sure to size down.
Here’s a piece of sunshine in a shirt! This top from Loft brings effortless polish with an easy-going vibe. Designed with a relaxed, roomy fit, it features a point collar, a button front, and a patch chest pocket, perfect for a laid-back yet put-together look. The tunic length hits at the thigh, making it ideal for pairing with leggings or slim fitting jeans.

Finally, I’m adding in this large checked shirt. Is it gingham? Well, some might say it’s buffalo plaid, but the only difference is the size of the grid. You learn something new every day! Made from a soft, skin-friendly mix of 92% cotton and 8% polyester, this shirt features a classic button-down front, a stylish collar, and two flap chest pockets, making it as functional as it is fashionable. The versatile design allows you to wear it open as a light jacket or buttoned up as a cozy top. Its oversized fit and drop shoulder pairs effortlessly with anything from jeans and leggings to dresses!
