Fashion Trend Friday: Stripes
A popular trend this Spring and Summer seems to be stripes. Vertical or horizontal, wide or thin, it doesn’t really matter what your stripes look like. Stripes are covering everything from tops to bottoms and handbags to sandals.
While they can look absolutely adorable on some, stripes can be a very difficult thing for many women to wear as they tend to have very strong affects on the shape of your body. For example, if you are a little on the wide side, avoid horizontal stripes, as they just make you appear even wider.
Vertical stripes are great for adding height. If you are a bit on the short side, vertical stripes have an elongating effect. On the flip side, if you are tall and don’t want to be any taller, avoid vertical stripes.
Stripes can very easily be a friend or foe. If the shirt is too tight, the stripes might become more like waves. A definite fashion faux pas.
I think stripes are a fantastic look in the right circumstances. Everyone can wear stripes, but not everyone can wear the same stripes. Have fun with stripes and just be a ware of what your body can and can’t handle.
