Worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, Princess Diana, and the typical all-American '60s woman, gingham become practically synonymous with the spring and summer seasons, cementing itself as a warm weather wardrobe must-have. Fast forward to 2025 the plaid pattern continues to reign supreme (we've already waxed lyrical about our favourite gingham dresses), and there's one gingham staple in particular that has captured the fashion pack’s attention: the Uniqlo Seersucker Easy Trousers.
Courtesy of its cut-across pattern, the Uniqlo staple has made waves on Instagram, and one doom-scroll through your suggested feed will quickly reveal a wealth of influencers styling the trousers in the navy and beige iterations. Made from a cotton blend that includes soft rayon and lightweight seersucker fabric, the Uniqlo trouser is practically essential for spring and summer, keeping you cool during the summery temperatures and incredibly comfortable, thanks to its elasticated waistband and adjustable drawstring.

When it comes to styling, the gingham staple makes a statement on its own, so pair it with boxy white tees or linen tops (consult Mango's newest linen collection) and finish the look with trendy suede sandals or retro sneakers for an easy off-duty vibe. If you're planning to spend a week or two away this summer, these gingham trousers are an essential staple in your suitcase, effortlessly pairing with a simple bikini top and, of course, your favourite pair of toe-post Havaianas.
We suggest snapping up this easy-breezy wardrobe staple before availability starts to rapidly diminish. The best part? They're under £20 - a seriously reasonable price point for trousers that will quickly become your hardest-working wardrobe staple.
