Stripes are a striking print that can be worn various ways and wears well with multiple colours, especially yellow and red. As bold as stripes are, it is still a classic and versatile print that can be styled casual or dressy. This look features striped jeans from the Fashion Focus event, that are the perfect fit, length and feel. Not only do vertical stripes elongate the legs but the ankle cut is flattering and oh so feminine. Although these stripe jeans are also great to wear casual, styling them with a classic black blazer and satin yellow top adds a tailored sophistication to the look.
The mustard yellow top is actually worn back to front, because the button style worked better for this look. But you can see the simple front detail featured here in how to wear yellow. While the shoulder details of the blazer, black buttons of the top and gold ankle cuff sandals add pretty, elegant and playful details to the look.
Stripes look great in many colours but the best and most classic look are monochrome stripes. Styled well with yellow or red, as shown in wearing stripes on stripes, they present a boldness and truly make a statement. Vertical stripes tend to flatter most body shapes better. Thankfully with the right pick, horizontal stripes also look wonderful, as shown beautifully in how to wear a striped jumper.
