How to wear a striped shirt?
A striped tee ranks right up there with a white T-shirt and a denim jacket as one of my all-time favorite items. I had to include a striped t-shirt in my limited selection of must-have pieces as a girl trying to create a decent, timeless capsule wardrobe.
With this wardrobe staple, the possibilities are endless. Striped T-shirts are so adaptable that you can make them fit for you no matter what your style is. Most importantly, as I'll demonstrate, they're appropriate for any age group, season, or occasion.
Even though this T-shirt can be worn all year, all of these looks are summer-inspired because, after all, who wants to worry about sweaters when the weather is finally starting to warm up? Of course, you can be as adventurous as you like and use these looks as inspiration.
Pleated Skirt + Sneakers + Neck Scarf – Inspired by the French Open
So why not dress up as a tennis player when you're not on the court? Over the years, I've learned that a neck scarf can transform even the most basic outfit. Try it every time you're wearing a bunch of simple parts together like I am. You will not be sorry!
Safari Feelings: Long Vest + Beige Shorts + Sandals + Accessory
Stripes are a perfect match for khaki. Khaki is also a perfect match for military grey. And the combination of these two screams safari to me. While I've never been on safari and doubt that this will be a comfortable outfit to wear in the middle of Africa, I like to imagine that if I ever had the chance.
Workplace Chic: Boyfriend Blazer, Skinnies, and Heels
You don't have to wait until casual Friday to wear your striped T-shirt to work. Simply wear it with your most stylish pumps, a blazer or jacket, and skinnies or wide-leg trousers.
The Norm: Black Skinnies, Sandals, and a Straw Bag
When I don't know what to wear, this is one of my go-to outfits. If I want to dress more casually, I like to wear white sneakers instead of sandals. With a striped T-shirt and black skinny jeans, you can't go wrong. You're not going to be able to do it.
Hat + Printed Shorts + White Sneakers + Crossbody Bag – Print Mixing
Mix prints if you dare. If you're just getting started, one rule to remember is to make sure the colors in both prints are the same. Any black and white bottom piece will fit with a striped T-shirt like this one. You name it: florals, tribal prints, big stripes, and so on.
Casual Chic: Pleated Skirt + Sandals + Accessory
A bold-colored piece like this skirt is one of my favorite ways to wear stripes. The key is to use only one bright color. It can be a jacket, shoes, or pants; just make sure the rest of your outfit is neutral.
Final word
Even, recall all the money you're saving for those weekend brunches of bottomless mimosas? Ok, this outfit is ideal for one of them!
