The Striped Shirts Every Wardrobe Needs

From the wardrobes of editors and models to businesswomen and men, the humble stripe shirt is one of those classic, universally flattering items that works for every kind of wardrobe. 

 Whether you opt for a silky number to work day to night, or favour a colourful number to wear over a roll neck jumper in the winter and then over a bikini on beach come summer, the styling possibilities are endless.
And what’s even better, is their price. Thanks to amazing high street offerings and attainable designer, they’re an affordable way to instantly refresh any look. Put simply, they’re the wardrobe staple that just keeps on giving.
And this season, thanks to cut-out details, lace inserts and mis-matched prints, they’ve had a revival. Chic shirts have long been an easy wardrobe staple (we can't get enough of the throw-on potential) but for SS16, there’s more choice than ever before. Not as girly as floral and not as playful as polka dots, the striped shirt is the look of choice for spring and summer.
From tailored silk options for the office, to washed, relaxed cotton styles for the weekend, there is a striped shirt out there for every occasion.
For a new season spin, we say don't be afraid to mix your prints and colour combos. The perfect date night outfit? Be bold and wear with a clashing bright colour, just keep it simple in design and go for a full skirt ora tailored cropped trouser. Or for an A-list approved take on the trend, wear with a striped skirt for a chic yet striking look.

If that all sounds a bit too loud, keep it classic with a pencil skirt for a chic, office-friendly look, and for guys, you can pair with chinos pant or a nice denim.

Whether you keep your shirt simply styled and in a slim fit shape, or go for the more directional trick of buying a oversized version, it's time to roll your sleeves up, unbutton just the right amount, add skinny denim and sky-high heels and you'll be onto a winner.
