How to Wear Bold Stripes

Stripes are in style throughout the seasons, with classic Bretons, seersucker patterns and deckchair designs leading the way in our warm-weather wardrobes. In SS18, however, fashion’s favourite print has re-emerged with an explosion of exotic colour, making its mark on everything from sun dresses and skirts to wide-leg trousers. Here’s how to wear bold stripes…

 

1. The Sun Dress

 

The warm, lively days of summer provide the perfect backdrop to SS18’s bold stripes, making them a must-have for your next getaway.  Try the trend with this cool cotton sun dress, designed with a dropped ruffle hem for a decidedly new-season twist.  Complement its eye-catching colours with a pom-pom straw bag and statement scarlet wedges.

 

2. The Wide-Leg Trousers

 

The perfect antidote to super-skinny silhouettes, wide-leg trousers are a power piece that every woman should own. Maximise their impact with a bold striped pair in a punchy palette of turquoise, red and lilac, making them feel all the more appropriate for summer with a floaty boho blouse and straw circle bag.

 

3. The Maxi Skirt

 

Whether worn on sun-drenched days at home or abroad, the maxi skirt is a summer wardrobe mainstay – and this season’s offerings are no different. Patterned with rainbow stripes in variegated lines, this jersey style provides an SS18-approved take on the warm-weather classic. Team yours with a tucked-in tee and white denim, completing the laid-back aesthetic with a pair of trainers.

 

4. The Maxi Dress

 

The statement-making attributes of maxi dresses are undisputable, taking your wardrobe to new heights from season to season. This summer, elevate your style line-up with this floor-sweeping silhouette that’s been crafted with colour-block stripes for a high-fashion feel. Offset the look with simple sandals in a metallic hue.

 

5. The Wrap Dress

 

How to wear bold stripes without steering too far from classic styling? Make way for the wrap dress. Flattering and perennially in fashion, this must-have midi features striking rainbow stripes on black jersey, saving them from feeling too over-powering. Finish with a suede clutch and wedge heels for event season elegance.
