Stripes are a timeless fashion classic that will never go out of style. And this striped pullover is seriously the comfiest sweater I’ve picked up this year. I love the mix of stripes and the hi-lo hem. It’s light enough to wear into the summer and perfect for those cooler nights.

How To Wear Stripes
I know stripes can be a tricky pattern to wear because they can highlight certain areas of your body and make them look wider. But that doesn’t mean you should avoid them. The trick is to pick the right type of pattern. Diagonal and vertical stripes are great for elongating and lengthening your body whereas horizontal stripes will stretch your body width wise and make you appear wider.
Placement is key! If you want to slim down or minimize an area on your body then vertical lines are a good choice. However, you’ll want to avoid horizontal lines on any larger areas of your body (i.e chest area and hips) as this will make them appear more voluminous.
Do you like to wear stripes?
Thanks for Stopping by!

Love this casual chic look Jackie! We are twinning with white jeans today. That top is so flattering with the neckline and striped pattern. Happy Friday!

Love it, love how you kept it simple but very chic ❤️
Love the classic and chic look you put together! Great tips and stripes are such a classic print. I always prefer vertical to lengthen the eye but you hardly find verticle stripes. lol Have a lovely week Jackie!

This striped look is totally you and your so right, it will work well for those cooler nights. Stripes are tricky and this is some good advice to definitely remember, because I feel no matter what stripes aren’t really my thing. We sure do have to catch up soon and I can’t wait!
