I don’t know about you, but I love stripes!
Stripe prints have been around for a while, but this season, the trend has kicked it up a few notches with different colors, weights and directions.
Today’s stripes aren’t what your grandma wore! Stripes can be pretty easy to style as you can pair them with a regular pair of jeans or pants. But if you really want to show off this trend, check out my favorite ways to style them.
See the three ways I styled stripes for spring and summer
Pair Stripes with Bold Colors
Stripes are a great way to complement the bold color trend for this spring and summer. Go with bold and neon colors to accomplish the severe look stripes are known for. This can be done with colored jeans, a bright-colored blouse, or bold accessories. Have fun with pairing stripes with all of your different favorite colors!
Pair Stripes with Other Prints
If mixing prints scares you a little, pairing prints with stripes is a great way to start. Stripes are a great way to show off other fabulous prints and enhances the print by adding another dimension to it. Whether polka dots,paisley, tribal, or global, stripes will make the outfit look chic and fashion forward.
Pair Stripes with More Stripes
How do you show your love for stripes? By wearing your favorite striped item with more stripes! Stripes with other stripes add a creative touch and can look very fabulous. When mixing stripes, be sure to have the different items complement each other instead of fight each other. When pairing a striped shirt with striped pants or shorts, choose stripes that are in different directions.
For example, if the stripes on the pants are vertical, the stripes on the shirt should be horizontal. Also, another way to pair stripes with the striped accessories like shoes and scarves. Get creative with your love of stripes!
