I´m not sure if you girls are still excited about stripes, afterall, it´s that same stripe pattern that comes back every spring and summer. Nautical trend, black and white monochrome, or colorblocking? Expect stripes to be there. But while checking out Bebe for what´s new today, I noticed that some of their recent featured looks consist of stripes with new elements and power. Forget monochromes, these five striped looks embrace bold colors!
Ombre Striped Maxi Skirt
Skirt, Top, Hat
Clear the way maxi skirts, this is the new queen of airy skirts for summer. It has a fitted waist and it contours the hips down to the knee before flairing on the legs, thanks to its double high slits in front. The gold sequins on the waist gives an illusion of a belt while the contrast of red and yellow on white is striking but not heavy.
Style it up with a white crop top and sexy wedge sandals.
Shoulder Cut Stripe Dress
Dress, Wedge
Last year´s spring we saw the comeback of shoulder cut trend on the runway. This year, Bebe revives the style in this gorgeous fitted striped dress featuring a boat neck and drape-y 3/4 sleeves with sliced shoulder arms. If you want the dress to the talking, wear it with nude accessories and shoes. If you want to extend the statement down to your toes, couple it with red high heels.
