Tracking The Trend: Stripes Are In For Spring!

Year in and year out, we see a resurgence of this trend: STRIPES! They're classic, clean and they're bound to be everywhere this Spring and Summer so get ready to rock them!  But not before we lay down some ground rules.

The "sailor" look is always cute!  They give a nautical feel, reminiscent of resort wear. Show off your sailor stripes with plain shorts or a skirt!









Some of us would like a little help in the height department.  Vertically striped dresses or skirts can make you look taller.  Pair that with with a solid-colored blazer and it makes for a very stylish outfit!



 What else should you know?

  • If you want to wear a belt over your stripes, make sure it's wider than the stripes.
  • Do not try to go for a head-to-toe striped look.  That could end up being a head-to-toe disaster!
  • If you're new to the trend, start with pinstripes, then work your way up! Wider stripes make for a bolder look! 
  • Have fun and go beyond just tops and bottoms - try striped summer hats, striped wedge heels and even striped jewelry... just not all at the same time!
