A mainstay of both casual and formal wear, stripes have become a staple in every man’s wardrobe rather than just a trend. Seasonally appropriate and versatile, whether you are rocking striped pants, a striped suit, or layering a striped t-shirt under a blazer, this is a trend that everyone should get on board with. From Dior to Gucci, every brand has their own version of stripes taking the runways and the high street fashion by storm. Take a look at this week’s outfit of the week and get inspired.
Different stripes have different effects on overall body shape and size. Horizontal stripes tend to make you look wider, while vertical stripes draw the eye down giving the illusion of length/height.
Opt for thicker block-stripes or bold coloured motifs to bring a modern twist to this timeless pattern. Team up a bright tee with a pair of striped chino shorts and loafers for an off-duty look. Switch to trousers and a pair of blazers along with a striped shirt for a more evening-appropriate look.
