Even with this crazy spring weather, there's no doubt that summer is just around the corner. Here at rundreisetipps, we can't wait for those long, sunny days spent by the water, and nothing says summer style like a nautical theme.

Stripes and checks seem to never go out of fashion; they have been a staple pattern throughout generations of different styles. They have featured heavily in the latest collections to come from the world's biggest fashion designers, and it looks like this trend won't be fading anytime soon.

Take a look at some of our favourite summer styles below.

Gingham - it's probably a word you've heard a lot this year, as it's one of the most prominent patterns in recent fashion. These miniature checks have been used abundantly both past and present, and will continue to be a timeless classic in years to come.

You can find one of our favourite gingham pieces below - a fairy floss pink and white checked swimsuit from Peggy. This colour is stunning on all complexions, and will make your little girl stand out on a crowded beach this season.
