Are you wondering how to wear stripes and experiment with them this season? This article discusses 9 unique styles that can be worn by anyone.
When it comes to patterns, stripes are a girl’s best friend since they never go out of style. There’s something about this vintage yet totally modern pattern that fits regardless of the season, event, or mood.
Stripes are those classic pieces that make any outfit paired with them look distinctive. The beauty of this pattern is that it comes in a variety of colors, widths, and orientations.
Apart from several stripes to choose from, there are many ways to wear them.
Tips on How To Wear Stripes
When it comes to wearing stripes, there are no hard and fast rules, but there are certain tips and ideas to keep in mind.
1. Consider Thin Stripes
Thinner stripes are generally more flattering on form-fitting pieces like dresses, skirts, and so forth.
2. Wear Vertical Stripes on the Bottom
If you’re on the shorter side, stick to vertical stripes in your pants. Because horizontal on the bottom half of your body might make you look wider than you are.
3. Be More Diverse
Stripe combined with other patterns, such as floral and geometrics, creates a fun and unique look.
