Weekend Wardrobes: Candy Stripes

0.5 min read

Infuse your look with a little whimsy, dabble in a little bit of fun and celebrate the wonder of colour this weekend with a wardrobe must-have; candy stripes. Appearing in shades of sherbet, lime and raspberry these visually stimulating linear based pieces complement all weekend excursions. Here’s our top three ways to rock the trend.

Jean Queen

Pairing your striped shirt with flared three quarter jeans is a must. Look for shirts that are softer in hue for daytime and opt for more vibrant tones by night. The illusion created by coloured stripes provides a jovial offering to classic white shirts.

Skirts and Bags

Play with texture. When we say stripes, we aren’t talking about your plain old bumble bee lines. Look to delicately patterned chiffons that have contrasting stripes, layered with print and pair with a burst of colour in the form of your favourite accessory. As stripes often create a strong visual statement pair the upper half of your ensemble with pieces in block colour. A chic skirt and bustier top is enough to get you through lunch to high-tea and even late dinner with the girls.

It-Girl

Don’t be shy. Stripes can be overwhelming at first glance but pick the right ones and you’re set for life. We recommend looking at a strict base of three colour tones to keep it simple and fresh. Try a head to toe jumpsuit in thinly wrapped primary shades paired with feathered sandals. Remember it’s all about having fun with fashion.
