Striped tees and blouses are a long time love of mine, they scream the ultimate in french chic style every time.
Along with a blazer a striped top is my go-to uniform. Perfect for all occasions throughout the year the stripe is the most reliable, stylish, simple, affordable and oh so easy-to-wear piece you can have in your wardrobe.
Stripes will ease into any capsule wardrobe fast becoming a great travelling companion and everywhere else in between. BUT Since the stripe is one of the most commonly used designs out there why do so many shy away from this fun and fashionable classic?
Traditionally we were all told to keep away from horizontal stripes as they are not flattering. I couldn’t disagree more, in my opinion when done right thin stripes can elongate your figure and make you appear thinner. A stripe can easily be styled up or down, colour blocked or layered to balance the torso, providing shape and structure where needed recreating a fresh new look every time.
From celebrities to the fabulous ever day lady, stripes are a wardrobe staple readily available season after season for all to enjoy. A fashion staple that has and will always be trending.
Here’s some fashion inspiration on the essentials we all love but sometimes struggle to style.

Stylist Tip: Keep the overall look as simple as possible when adding stripes. Want to add wow factor to your outfit? Add a bright pump at your feet; it’s a win, win every time!
Should horizontal stripes not be your thing, look for a mix of vertical or diagonal lines. Stripes in red and bright colours brighten up a dull winters outfit while adding a classic black or navy stripe to a pair of white pants or shorts during the warmer months creates a chic summer style.
