Thanks to the genius of Coco Chanel, this is one pattern that will never go out of style. I’ve always loved the quintessential striped tee and believe it has a place in every women’s wardrobe. Luckily we are experiencing a stripe revival in the fashion world, which means there are loads of options to stock up on one of my favorite staples. Here are some of my recent picks, from casual to more embellished options.
Above Left - J.Crew’s Vintage Bateau Top $36 / Above Right - Petite Bateu’s Organic Mariniere Sweater $88. Wear these two laid-back options with almost anything – skinny distressed jeans, cargos, flowy shorts and skirts.
Above Left - Anthropologie’s Stripes & Lights Tee $78 / Above Right – Tart for Victoria’s Secret Embellished Long Sleeve Slub Tee $49.50. Dressed up with black or dark blue skinny jeans and heels, these two pretty pieces are sure to make a statement. They would also look great with a black miniskirt and sandals or a short, ballerina-style skirt (if you are more daring you can try red).
Above Left and Right - J.Crew’s Featherweight Cashmere Stripe Boatneck Pullover (in Indigo and Azalea) $188. A slouchy, lightweight cashmere is the perfect compliment to summer shorts and a great pair of heels or wedges. Glam it up with a pendant necklace and some bangles and you have an outfit that will last you for summers to come.
