Dreamy, right? That’s exactly the energy of the current next-gen stripe takeover: carefree, eclectic and insanely easy to wear. In need of some inspiration to get started? Here are 6 fresh styling ideas for your stripe-y looks this summer, whether you’re looking for breezy Balearic vibes or preppy (not-so) co-ords.
The statement summer dress
Behold: the original source of all the fuss around stripes. Well, kind of. The print has already been making waves within fashion crowds for a few months now, but this Realisation Par dress has just shot its popularity to stratospheric levels. It’s easy to see why: with a playful print and super flattering panels across the body, it’s basically the perfect wedding guest outfit. It would also look really hot on a date night in Ibiza. Just saying.
