Earn Your Stripes

Stripes made a strong comeback this season at New York's Fall RTW, though not in the conventional sense. Straightforward (and slightly nautical) stripes were out. In their place is every abstract interpretation of the line ever conceived.

Pictured above are the most traditional faces of the trend, but Fashion Week attendees saw everything from organic stripes verging on tribal to heavily structured styles branching every which way.

Learning your lines: How to Wear Stripes

When paired with the right pieces, stripes can really enhance your figure and keep you looking up-to-date. We’ve compiled a few tips to follow so that you too can wear this flattering and fun summer trend.

• The best road to take is to wear just one striped piece matched with a solid. For example, a vertically striped blouse like Ben Sherman's Westminster Top or a layer like the Bailey 44 Bus Vest looks great with white trousers or jeans.

• Vertically striped skirts of pants like the Georgie Cocktail Trouser make you look trim and tall when worn with a solid tee.

• For dresses, avoid horizontal stripes that widen your shape - unless you have a boyish figure and need to create some curves like in this Bailey 44 Stripe Daddy Dress, which enhances and elongates the frame with both horizontal and vertical stripes.

• If you simply can’t part with that horizontal style despite the presence of curves, either choose something draped like the Ella Moss Aggy Tank, or try the 1-size-up rule to minimize clinging and curb that widening effect.

• Ultra thin stripes like the ones in this White Stripe Tank from Splendid should only be worn by ultra thin women. Curvier gals should stick to wider stripes, and in darker shades too, to minimize their shape.

On the runways this season, designers were mixing wide and thin stripes or combining stripes with other patterns for a modern look. This bold combination can be found in Miss Me’s Striped Sailor Hoodie and their matching Striped Sailor Short.
