5 Showpiece Stripes That MAKE An Outfit

If there's one pattern that typically isn't a challenge to wear, it's stripes. But, if you're cut from the same (striped) cloth that we are, you might actually want something a little more demanding than your average bateau. In which case, step in line, friend!

The same things that make stripes so safe — their go-with-everything sense of order, their figure-flattering properties — are what make playing around with the pattern so fun. There's creative layering, color mixing, shape shifting, and more ways to let your linear pieces take center stage. Lord knows they work hard enough to deserve it.
