Simply Stripes

This Spring/Summer, the forecast for one of the hottest trends making another appearance is the sailor stripe. 2010 has re-vamped the sailor stripe with a playful twist. Of course the common stripy t-shirts are back and more popular than ever, and if you find yourself not wanting to be too daring, then these are many high street stores have added much more detail, and put stripes on everything from blazers to dresses, and even play suits. One of the many wardrobe challenges for executive women is how to look fresh and current without becoming a fashion victim. (Dynasty-style shoulder pads, anyone?) Fortunately, one of the all-time classic looks, nautical stripes,has become one of the biggest trends this spring. It’s a great time to incorporate the look into your office attire, if you haven’t already. Stripes always seem to show up in spring styles. However, this year the focus is on the French sailor stripe first popularized by Coco Chanel, also known as a mariniere or Breton stripe. Figure hugging dresses are huge at the moment. Topshop has combined that with stripes to create some gorgeous nautical style dresses that are perfect for wearing in the daytime, or alternatively in the evening teamed with some heels. The Stripe Shirred Frill Tunic is the perfect casual stripy look. It is very simple and has just a touch of rouching detail. Although the nautical trend has been done a million times before, it's best to wear alternative stripes so you can switch it up by wearing different colored stripes, because who said they had to be blue and white?
