Shirting Stripes

The classic shirt has got a re-invented look this season with fresh cuts and tailoring. Stripes are a pattern that will never go out-of-fashion and is part of every closet. Shirts with stripes are known to give a very safe and formal look, but this spring designers are thinking out-of-the-box and re-creating the whole concept of it with graphic stripes. Now, stripes are horizontal, vertical, and come in any size and shape. In other words, from the classic French black and white stripes to colored stripes, to those 60’s and 70’s inspired retro stripes, to horizontal, vertical and anything in between are all part of the spring runway and on girls/women’s wish lists. Many people simply wear stripes to look smart but very few of us know that aesthetically they are a perfect choice. For elongating the body, you should wear vertical stripes and to make the body look smaller, you should wear diagonal stripes as it divides areas of the body into smaller proportions.
