One of summer’s hottest trends is stripes!
Be daring and allow stripes to take control of your outfit. No longer reserved for nautical looks, try stripes in color, neutral tones or opt for a contrasting look by layering stripes with an animal print or a floral pattern.
HOW TO WEAR STRIPES:
- Stick to neutral colored stripes to be able to wear them with anything – like for example blue and white, black and white, beige and white/gray and white.
- If you want to be able to wear stripes to work choose a three-quarter sleeved version — it looks more polished and appropriate for office.
- Do not be afraid to mix and match the stripes with other fun prints and details. Add for example a polka dot scarf tied around your neck, or team them up with a bright-colored gemstone necklace
- Make sure you pick the right style of stripes for your height and body figure; stripes tend to make you look wider and shorter, but not narrow ones! Narrow stripes are more versatile and flattering than the wide ones. If you have wide shoulders (á la inverted triangle body shape) or torso have in mind that horizontal stripes can slightly emphasize that, so either pick tops with narrow stripes or balance it out with a flared bottom.
Is this a trend that you can see yourself in?
