I can’t get enough of…STRIPES

We’ve all heard it…horizontal stripes aren’t flattering. So, why are all the retailers this season designing so many garments and accessories with stripes? The answer is that, if worn properly, stripes can work for you. If you are petite, probably a bulky sweater with wide stripes wouldn’t be best. A striped fitted piece (cami or tank) can look great. Keep it in proportion, ladies. Curvier? Stay away from wide stripes and go for thin stripes and darker colors. And make sure the rest of the outfit has slimming qualities. Straight leg denim paired with a striped tank and a tailored, close-fitting jacket would be a classic, stylish choice that would be appropriate just about everywhere.
