Trend Spotlight: STRIPES

Earn your stripes!


Stripes have long been favoured summer staple and just a little stripe in any outfit goes a long way when worn as an addition or completely as seen on the model, it always turn out beautifully.

On days when you cannot seem to put together a perfect look from your wardrobe; a trusted striped tee can always be called upon to provide that chic look. And the cool thing about stripes is that they add a visual charm to whatever you are wearing.

All that’s required is you know the basics of wearing stripes;

-          Wear many stripes with caution, you don’t want to turn out looking awkward.

-          Make sure that there is some consistency with the colours – as in above, the colours blend sweetly.

-          You can also seal the look with a striped belt, bag or espadrilles (as seen on the model)
