Earn Your Stripes: How To Wear Spring’s Hottest Print
To stripe or not to stripe is not the question. In fact, it really is how much will you “stripe” this season. Because if you’re anything like us, you’re obsessed with this yearly trend. Lying awake at night, like the fashion math wizard you are, you find yourself calculating all the glorious combinations this linear trend has to offer (breton + chevron, color-blocked + horizontal, wide bands + microscopic verticals). Not to mention, how you’ll wear them (crop tops with flouncy mid skirts, smart blouses over fluid trousers, slimming tank tops with maxi length pencils) in head-to-toe coordinating prints or clashing patterns. And the colors? Oh, the colors! From rainbow varieties to multi-tonal arrangements to monochromatic, the options are endless. So to cure this fashion fixation, walk the line this season in these striped sartorial stunners.
