Things You Should Know About Stripes

A good striped sweater or sweat shirt is not a trend. It’s essential to every closet. Stripes are the kind of print that never goes out of style and you can wear in every season.

Here are a few point outs to choose the best stripes for the occasion:

Horizontal or Vertical? I’m sure you agree with the popular believe that Vertical are the way to go if you want a slimmer look. However, horizontal also work in your favor when you wear it right; under Jackets, never fitted and if they have a wider neck even better!

The Stripes can compliment your outfit and add more depth to what would be a boring look.

Note how even when wearing an all black look, a striped sweatshirt adds more substance to a minimal look.

Unlike this look where the striped black sweater works even when the look is already bold on it’s own.

Black, Navy & Grey stripes are neutrals that you can wear regardless of the season.

Choose Colors That Set The Tone Accordingly to the Season.

You still need to pick what you pair with those stripes. You don’t want to wear (nautical) red pants with stripes in winter. Unless you want to remind everyone of the Titanic.

For instance warm colors like khaki accompanied by stripes are ideal for summer.
