Well, it’s that time of year again.. the time of year to start clicking through all of the online magazine slideshows of “Summer 2015 Trends”. With every click, it seems less and less hopeful that you’ll look chic this summer and seems more and more like you’re going to have to dig out the ole shorts and a tank top. Why does every top trend seem impractical unless you’re Candice Swanepoel? And let’s be honest with ourselves here, that summer beach body boot camp will never give you Candice’s long Supermodel legs. Even with all of this disappointment something urges you to keep clicking. It’s as if God himself appears on your computer screen, “STRIPES” you see in bold letters. And you think to yourself, “Hey I can work with that, I can look pretty chic in some stripes.”
Even though without fail every summer stripes will be in style, doesn’t mean that they have to be boring. Stripes are a classic staple and are great for almost any occasion. They can be dressed up or down and look good on any garment. From a skirt, romper or top, it seems like everything is just a little cuter in a stripe.
So how does this Fashionista embrace her stripes? She spices it up with a v-shaped, double stripe perfect summer dress. With a dress like this, the accessories are minimal featuring a gold necklace and a rope knot bracelet. With a pair of Jacks, she’s ready to go in a matter of minutes. Would you look at that? On-trend and easy. Would you ever think you would use those two words together this summer?
What’s your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I really like how stripes can be a more professional way to show off your fun side, and I think this J.Crew dress is a really versatile way I can do that.”
