Show Your Stripes

When I was younger, fashion magazines taught me not to wear stripes if you don't want to embarrass yourself by stretching them into zebra prints. Over these years, I started to realize that stripes can make you look more fit once you wear them right! Zebra prints are not that embarrassing anyways:)

Family and friends who know my style very well notice that half of my closet are filled with colorful stripes. My favorite color combinations are: navy blue + red, navy blue + military green, blue + white.

Carefully styled, stripes can make you look chic yet elegant.

One of my favorite places to buy striped shirts is Uniqlo--a Japanese brand that carries casual and natural styles. Hope they have more chains across the country!!

My favorite ways to style striped items are:

1. Striped shirt + solid color bottoms (pants, shorts, skirts)

 

 

2. Striped dress + solid color cardigan/jacket

 

3. Striped skirt (trending piece for 2014)

Hope you could find some inspirations from your closet:)
