Stripes


www.instyle.com

I love stripes. There is a mini section in my closet dedicated to stripes. Striped long sleeves, striped cardigans, striped dresses, etc.

Stripes give a basic t-shirt an updated quality that plain ones lack. Striped tops give a basic skirt or pant a little more "jazz" and can spice up a colored cardigan in a way you normally wouldn't expect.

Thanks to Coco Chanel, the ever classic striped shirt is still a staple in modern day style. It can be worn with any style you have whether its sophistication, edge, modern or avant garde that your look achieves.

For example:



This combo with the gray slacks is similar to how I am dressed for work today. I also chose to belt my cardigan with a brown suede skinny belt. After work, I can slip on my dark rinse jeans for a more casual chic look!

How do you wear your stripes?? :)
