Clothes are meant to be worn. Isn’t it? Every occasion and time of the event requires a specific type of clothing. We all want something airy, breezy, and flowy with the summer at its peak. But, apart from comfort, we also wish to look uber-chic and classy enough to impress everyone around us. And what if it starts with something in stripes? Well! This blog is all about the types of stripe dresses you must own this summer.
For a long time now, summer dresses have been a key element of summer clothing, especially those where white is used in a combination of navy, red, and black. However, many designers have incorporated stripes to complement accessories. Plus, there are so many ways you can use it- vertical, horizontal, diagonal, color block, and much more. But you must know which stripe will go for which occasion. For instance, vertical goes well with cord sets for evening wear. On the contrary, horizontal looks good for casual days. But, before you buy striped outfits, you must know basic rules when it comes to wearing these staple summer outfits:
- Horizontal stripes add volume to the body structure. Hence, it is well suited for women and girls with a petite figure as it will automatically add volume to their shape and accentuate their body curves. Women with narrow shoulders and small chests should wear horizontal stripes.
- On the contrary, vertical stripes are an excellent choice for girls and women with a pear shape or an apple figure. The reason is that it provides a slimming appeal to the wearer. Also, prefer choosing thin stripes in a dark tone and don’t go for a fitted silhouette.
Creating the right match for stripes isn’t always easy. But, we would suggest either going with matching prints on both top and bottom or teaming your striped outfit with a solid color. For example, wear a solid T-shirt with a striped tulle skirt.
If the striped item is a jacket, it might be better to opt for a minimal look by teaming up the jacket with a solid white t-shirt and a pair of denim. On the contrary, if the stripes are in neutral shades, they might be worn correctly with elegant black or white wide-leg pants or trousers.
Striped outfits are highly versatile and can be worn with almost anything, be it a pair of ripped jeans, white jeans, or maybe a vintage skirt!
The perfect colour to compliment any item of striped clothing is red or shades of red. The reason is that it can illuminate an outfit, thereby giving it a burst of vitality.
Apart from shirts and t-shirts and pants, another versatile garment to possess in your summer wardrobe is a striped dress. Striped dresses paired with a belt that clinches on the waist, a cropped jacket and nude footwear are a great way to start the day. For the evening, why not choose jeweled sandals and a clutch for a touch of glam.
Striped dresses in white and black suits women with dark, dense hair and light complexion.
At the same time, blue stripes look perfect on women with light-weight hair and light complexions. So these were a few key pointers when you think of buying striped outfits. Stripes are fun, and every woman and girl must have them in their summer fashion closet.
