In Between the Lines: 3 Stripes that are Anything but Boring

Forget what you’ve heard stripes are back with a linear vengeance. No matter if they’re in a vertical or horizontal format, looking chic and sleek in striped clothing is easy when you know what you’re working with.

We’ve moving well past nautical and showing you all the styles of stripes and the best ways to rock them.

The Varsity

Not just for sailors and French mimes, the nautical stripe has a sportier cousin–the varsity stripe. With a heavier width stretching in horizontal fashion, the varsity stripe often comes in bolder contrasting colors than the nautical variety.
How to style: Be all things athletic in a half-sleeve, varsity striped shirt and pleather joggers.

The Pinstripe

Adored by business men and mobsters alike, opt for a pinstripe when you’re wanting to look fresh to death in the most business way. More formal than the varsity and more modern than the retro, the pinstripe is your go-to choice for a linear workwear look.
How to style: Pair a cropped, pinstripe trouser with a solid, fitted racerback crop top.  

The Retro

A nod to mod, retro stripes are sharp lines that run up and down the body that help give the long, thin silhouette of the 60s. For a spot on look, stick with a black and white color palette.
How to style: Channel the style in true mod fashion in an A-line mini and platformed sandals.
