Style Setter: Spring into Stripes!

Stripes have flooded the stores this spring and are hotter then ever! There are two ways to approach this look, bold and then..not-so-bold. Whatever accommodates your style, both are approachable and easy to wear for a hip look.

Spring runways have proven to have an overload of stripes, specifically the bright cheerful bubblegum stripes. These are for the cheery minded who love to stand out. First off, you must be educated on this topic(earn your stripes per say) we suggest pairing your bright bubblegum stripes with solid separates.

 If bright isn't your thing, there are subtle simple stripes. I walked into the mall and was inundated with stripes, everywhere. It blew my mind how hard they were trying to push stripes. Don’t get me wrong I love stripes just as much as the next person but there is a tasteful way to do it as opposed to tacky. By limiting how many stripes are on the top or dress you make them have a more powerful statement. You can also use stripes going in opposite directions to switch things up and not make it look so mundane.
