Stripe Fashion Trend

The stripe fashion trend is still alive and well in 2013, yet it always amazes me how little of it I have in my own wardrobe! I know it is not one of the easiest trends to wear and much like floral, you can get it horribly wrong but if you get it right it can look so awesome! It is definitely a trend that will get you noticed. Just remember to get the balance right, especially when it comes to the size of the stripe, it is so important to find out what flatters your figure!

Stripes 2013

I have made it my mission this summer to add stripes to my wardrobe and I have already had success with a cute blue and white striped vest, from YDE, which has a bit of sparkle on the shoulder and neckline. I bought it for a “blue & white function” I attended last week and paired it with white skinnies, my blue Zara blazer and a pair of sexy heels – very chic 🙂

I thought I would share some of my favourite ways to wear stripes. How to rock stripes – from runway chic to everyday casual.

I personally love monochromatic stripes, either black and white or navy and white, which can look super sexy if you add just a pop of red to your outfit, either shoes, a bag or even a red belt as you see in the image above.

Fashion Friday

We are still loving stripes for summer, from classic blue and white nautical stripes to big, bold and colourful, they are still bang on trend. I love this striped maxi dress, it is so gorgeous for summer!

The beautiful dress above is from the Mr and Ms range and something I have my eye on to add to my summer wardrobe.

Hope you’re having a Fashionable Friday!

I am loving stripes at the moment – whether they are classic blue and white nautical stripes or big, bold and colourful, they are bang on trend. Stripes can really bring an otherwise plain outfit to life, worn under a jacket or as a statement piece, as a skirt or dress, stripes can be fun and sassy.

The key to wearing stripes is to be sure they flatter your body shape and do not dominate or over power your outfit completely. In my opinion it is better to team a striped garment with other plain items, like denim jeans or a another solid colour like black or white. Stripes are rather versatile and can even be worn with other patterns such as pretty florals.
