Stripes made a big appearance on the top designer  runways. This linear print is a classic. If you invest in a striped dress,  striped pants or a striped top, you can wear it now and for years to come.

HOW TO WEAR STRIPES AND THE BEST WAYS TO STYLE THEM

To ease into the trend,  consider wearing smaller  stripes or pinstripes.   Try a menswear-inspired  pin stripe shirt!

Thin Stripes  and Pinstripes

Don’t shy away from horizontal pinstripes. Wear light colored  stripes like tan with white for  a subtle take on the trend.

Subtle Horizontal Stripes

Bold stripes do not go  unnoticed, but don’t  avoid them for that  reason! They can also  be quite flattering.

Thick and  Bold Stripes

Bold vertical stripes on  pants and tuxedo stripes  down the sides can make  you look taller and slimmer.

Side Stripes

Diagonal stripes lead the  viewer’s eye in multiple  directions, creating a  camouflage effect.

Diagonal Stripes

Designers often put  together fabrics which  include a mix of prints  and stripes for a unique and chic look.

Mixed Prints with Stripes

Another option is to put  together a striped blouse  with a floral skirt  to get the designer look.
