Stripes are de rigueur for Spring!
From shirts, tops, vests, dresses to trousers, stripes are everywhere!
I've zoomed in on a striped shirt as it's such a versatile piece and much easier to style than you might think. Plus, there may well be a striped shirt lurking in the back of your wardrobe crying out to be worn :-)
There are many ways to wear a striped shirt other than with black trousers or jeans. Lets take a look..
Here are some ways to style a striped shirt:
Under a Dress:
Layer your striped shirt underneath a loose-fitting dress.
Choose a colourful or printed dress to spice up your outfit.
Wear With Like Colors:
The colour of the striped shirt should match with bottoms of the same hue as seen in the Style File above - the trousers have a small blue design on them which connects to the blue stripe on the shirt.
This creates an instantly cohesive and effortless look.
Mix With Prints and Colors:
Don’t be afraid to mix and match prints.
Pair stripes with a plaid design that has similar tones. Pastel colours work well for this combination.
Layer It Up:
Combine stripes with other patterns, like camo. Love the cargo skirt above.
Layer a Sweater Vest on top for these cold temps.
Stripes on stripes create depth and visual interest.
Mix different prints for a bold ensemble.
Make It All Stripes:
Proclaim your love for stripes by wearing two different striped pieces. Stick to the same coloured stripe for lets say a blue striped shirt and blue striped trousers where the size of the stripes are different on top and bottom. Classic!
I hope these tips have inspired you in some way, now go earn your stripes!
Thanks for taking the time to read.
