There is something special about this pattern that people want to wear fashion items with stripes again and again. This is not called a wardrobe mainstay for nothing. It is always on trend and will never leave the fashion scene as it can adapt to every change of season. Below are some fresh ideas on wearing stripes.
While we are used to the typical black and white or
monochromatic stripes, you can infuse colors in your overall outfit. You can
try subtle hues or pastels or bright and vivid colors however you fancy. For
me, this is a quirky and fun way to don the stripes trend.
Size and Direction
While it has been customary to wear small, vertical
stripes to make you appear thinner and longer, thicker ones are dominating the
scene. You can decide to go on horizontal but irregular ones are taking over so
as not to look boring. This is a quick update on the usual stripes that we
often see.
Balance
They say finding the right balance will not make your
appearance look too busy. To achieve this, you can partner stripes with a solid
piece. However, times are changing and you can now wear stripes from head to
toe as long as it gives an interesting vibe to the eye.
Texture
Play around with soft or hard fabrics and materials.
By considering the time and occasion, stripes can take you from day to night.
Usually hard fabrics like denim are good for informal and more casual occasions
while flowy and satin materials can be seen in more formal and proper events.
Mix and Match
One way to amplify and level up your stripes game is
to layer it with some outerwear like a jacket, a cardigan or a trench coat. A
different take is to wear an outfit in another print or pattern (take florals /
botanicals, polka dots or geometrics for example). This will definitely take
you from ordinary to extraordinary.
True enough, stripes is a good piece to get and
invest in as it is timeless and trend proof so to speak. There is no scarcity
in going for a look and an overall ensemble that is fashionable without hurting
and breaking the bank. Who else loves the stripes trend?
