We’ve talked about stripes a number of times in the last few years but the barometer for fashion tells us that wind is going to blow harder towards stripes again and our fashion forecasters have confirmed it.
While we think ‘more is more’ speaks more of a maximalist’s way but come on, who doesn’t love stripes? However, this time we’re not talking about just one striped piece, our love for them has spiked as a result of wearing sweats and tees for two years and now we want to go all the way with stripes. And there’s not one way to do that; we’re going to walk you through all the ways to make a perfect striped statement.
Wondering how?
5 Ways to Wear Stripes on Stripes
1. A Unified Combo
If you’re someone who can’t get enough stripes, the unified combo can come into play and save your day! However, it is pertinent to choose a stripe that you love so that you can go all the way with it. The challenge here is to find the design you love enough to have it all around. Also, it brings a whole look together like anything!
2. Play with Width
Our stylists have suggested an interesting approach to take your stripes game to a new high and it’s definitely going to pop out some serious glam on the streets! There’s just one caveat; you will have to scavenge for pieces with different widths so that you can ace the trend simply by playing with the widths.
3. Try pattern-on-pattern!
After the animal print trend, this one could be the next big thing. When we say pattern-on-pattern, we’re not talking about two similar patterns. They can vary in dimensions, color and design. For instance, you can wear a sweater with horizontal stripes along with a diagonally striped skirt.
4. Multiple Colors
Yes, you guessed it right! It’s not necessary for stripes to be of the same color; try straying away as far as you can go to make a contrasting effect for a bolder, sharper look.
5. Accessorize with stripes!
Want to have stripes on stripes but not too keen on putting on striped skirts or pants? Go for a striped bag and give a striped finishing effect. If you’re feeling cold, a striped scarf may come handy and you can still look trendy!
