Gingham has been a print for all seasons since the 1950s — and it has never looked better than it does in a well-cut co-ord set. The check pattern is graphic enough to do the work on its own, which means a gingham co-ord only needs a clean silhouette and good fabric to land well. This guide covers how to choose one, how to style it, and what makes the HOH gingham co-ord different.
What Is a Gingham Co-ord Set?
A gingham co-ord set is a matching two-piece — typically a top and trouser, or top and skirt — made from gingham check fabric. The matching fabric creates a complete coordinated look without requiring any styling effort. Gingham typically comes in two-colour checks: the classic is red-white or blue-white, but navy, black, mustard, and sage versions are increasingly popular.
At Haus of Handmade, our gingham co-ord set is made in cotton with schiffly patch pockets, scalloped hems, and lace trim. The detailing makes it unmistakably handmade — the scalloped hem is hand-finished, the lace trim is applied by hand, and the patch pockets are hand-stitched. Priced at ₹5,525. Free shipping. COD available.
How to Style a Gingham Co-ord Set
Keep accessories minimal: The print already carries the look. A single pair of small gold earrings is enough. Avoid necklaces that compete with the check.
Footwear: White sneakers for casual. Tan block heels or strappy sandals for evenings. Loafers for work.
Bags: Solid colours only — white, tan, or black. A gingham bag with a gingham co-ord is too much pattern.
Layer carefully: A formal black cape top for women over a gingham co-ord bottom elevates it instantly for an evening occasion. Avoid denim jackets — the textures clash.
What to Look for in a Gingham Co-ord Set
Fabric matters most: cotton or linen gingham breathes and holds the check pattern sharply. Synthetics go limp. Check the hem and seam finish — hand-scalloped hems and French seams are markers of quality. And look at the pocket detailing — patch pockets on a gingham co-ord, hand-applied, are a sign that someone made this with care rather than speed.
Pair With: Related Styles
If you love the co-ord silhouette but want more versatility, a monochrome co-ord set is the single-colour format that works for more occasions — the most versatile piece in a modern Indian wardrobe. For a statement evening look, a cape top layered over your gingham co-ord bottom is one of the strongest contemporary Indian fashion combinations.
