The striped print is a classic, without a doubt. But it is also a classic that changes and adapts every season.
Vogue has just published a visual review of this print from the 18th century, which I recommend you watch so you can enjoy how a fabric can evolve over the years. (https://www.vogue.es/moda/articulos/historia-estampado-rayas)
With the imminent arrival of spring, it is normal that we are already thinking about a flowing striped dress or a voluminous skirt like the one I show you in the image of Juana Acosta.
Striped prints are elegant and can lengthen and stylize our figure, it all depends on how we wear them. To give you some initial ideas, I want to give you some tips so you can enjoy this trend without fear!
If you choose a striped garment, it is best not to mix it with any other print. Use other pieces in single colors.
Start with classics like black and white or blue and white. These are classics that will never go out of style.
The general rule is: vertical stripes are slimming and horizontal stripes are “widening.” So if you have a triangle body type (hips wider than shoulders), it’s best to wear horizontal stripes on the upper part of your body and vertical stripes on the lower part.
If you follow these simple rules, you will be able to wear the striped trend without any problems in the upcoming transitional and summer seasons. Are you up for it?
