Silk Stripes

Silk Stripes

For women who are worried about their imperfections, shopping can seem like a daunting task. The great thing about the women’s clothing and fashion industry for this year and the years in the foreseeable future is that the simpler the better is the key to a great look. This means neutral colors and bold designs and yes, it does mean the return of stripes in a big way. Stripes are back and you may be wondering if they are flattering on every body type or if the myths are true that they can be extremely unflattering when worn incorrectly. Let us help you!

The absolute best rule to go by for your stripe wearing concerns is to try not to overdo the stripes. All this means is when you find a striped top you should try your best to pair with a pair of solid colored leggings as well as a solid cardigan or sweater of some type to layer over top. What this will do is down play the enormity of the stripes but still make you look great wearing them. If you wear too many stripes it can be more unflattering than flattering and no one wants this.

It’s important we mention here the absolute most popular question when it comes to wearing stripes; horizontal or vertical? The rule of thumb when it comes to the direction of the stripes is simply that horizontal stripes create a widening effect which is not always a bad thing. If you have a boyish body or a figure with little shape or curves horizontal stripes may be the answer to help create the illusion of curves. On the other hand, if you are trying to avoid adding more curves and width to your figure vertical stripes are your answer.

The thickness of the stripe itself should be considered as well. You may not have thought of this before but the thickness really can determine where this top should be worn. For example a thin stripe is a very classy look and can easily be worn everywhere, including the office. On the other hand a thicker bolder stripe is a bit more edgy and meant for evenings out with friends, etc. It may seem like there’s too much work involved with choosing the best piece of striped casual clothing but the truth is once you learn for yourself what works for you and what doesn’t it’s incredibly easy and you will look great!

Stripes are definitely recommended to everyone this year. Dedicate an afternoon to some stripped clothing shopping and see what works for you and what doesn’t. Bring an honest friend along with you so you know the truth about the fashion trends you’re trying! This is by far the best way to find casual clothing and fashion clothes that will flatter you, accent your features, hide your imperfections and keep you up to date with the hottest trends and styles available today. Stripes are hot, take advantage and enjoy!
