Walk the monochromatic line and be a stylish trendsetter with fashionable stripes from brands like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana.
Spring is almost over and summer is fast approaching, which means only one thing - another excuse for you to shop your heart out.
Be the fashion rebel for summer and invest in long, lean monochromatic stripe prints, instead of the usual floral prints and neon shades.
From the classic jailhouse black and white stripes to a more psychedelic take on the lines, this trippy movement is a striking silhouette for all. Plus, it has a wonderful lengthening and slimming effects to give you a lither and leaner figure.
Straight and steely for the 'big house'
In the family of lines, the jailhouse black and white print is the evergreen style for all. Dolce & Gabbana's body-hugging crepe dress is one that does wonders for your body by accentuating all the right parts.
For a straightforward and youthful look, 3.1 Phillip Lim has a great denim and satin-twill dress set that goes well with flats and sneakers. For the working lady, nothing feels more empowering than a good striped blazer and, of course, Saint Laurent does it best.
Get crazy in psychedelic stripes
For the innovative dresser, unconventional stripes work best. Go against the expected and have all your lines criss-crossing in every direction. Both Cushnie et Ochs and Altuzarra created beautiful asymmetrical dresses that are perfect for a work-to-play transition.
For a mind-blowing statement look, the Givenchy pleated jersey dress featuring a mixture of fluid lines flowing across the body to create waves when in motion is just perfect.
Fast-track line to success
Take your lined aesthetics to the next level with striped accessories. Chloé's striped ayers wedge sandals is a sassy choice that adds a little spring in your step, while Dolce & Gabbana offers comfort with striped brocade espadrilles.
For bags, arm yourself with Givenchy's zipped pouch for a night out or sling on the Marc by Marc Jacobs leather bag for work and daytime affairs.
