Striped items take up a considerable portion of my wardrobe, and there's a few good reasons why.

  • They are versatile. Denim, black, white, colour, even other prints! Stripes are pretty much a neutral on their own.
  • They are easy. Because of the above point you can't really go wrong. They are a fail safe option to grab in a hurry or on a day when you just need something that works.
  • They break up an otherwise boring look. Don't get me wrong, the basic white tee has its place. As does the little black dress. A stripe in these styles though? Well, it just adds an interesting pattern without having to dive into floral or something out of your comfort zone.
  • They are flattering. Contrary to what many believe, prints are your friend! And so are stripes! The busy pattern keeps your eye moving and not focused on one place.
