6 Ways To Wear Bold Stripes

Just in time for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, we’re talking about how to style classic and bold stripes into your everyday wardrobe with a brand NEW Styled 6 Ways!

I’ve always been a fan of stripes, even when some trend reports called them unflattering. Stripes have always been a simple print that’s easy to style and incorporate with other prints. Print on print is one of my favorite things to play around with, so today I’m doing so, subtly. By adding a lace blouse with my navy stripes, I’m getting a classic look that’s mixing both texture and print.

I also like bigger stripes, and I have a a few pieces that I could have styled for this post, but I liked the idea of layering for this outfit. It’s been pretty chilly here in the mornings, so my looks have to be translatable with the weather. I can easily peel off layers as it gets warmer throughout the day, so this stripe jacket is key to making my morning a successful one.

If it were warm enough, I would have paired this outfit with a cut-off denim short vs. a distressed skinny jean. I do like how casual and easy going this look has become, especially since that suits my Memorial Day Weekend quite perfectly. This weekend traditionally is very quiet, low key and fun. I enjoy being outside, finishing up spring / summer cleaning, and getting the yard ready for the season ahead, full of sun and activity.

 I went pretty simple with accessories for this look, adding a pop of coral and a different shade of blue with a drop earring and my favorite sling back sandals with embellishment. You’ll see me wearing these more times than not, so I’ll go ahead and warn y’all.

    You look lovely! I like the idea of the lace top to give it a good print on print variation.
