If florals were made for spring, stripes were created for summer.

For summer dressing, a striped t-shirt paired with anything — denim shorts, mini skirts or just jeans — is a no-brainer outfit.
But even beyond the season, striped tees prove to be a wise choice. We all have our own style staples, but I truly believe that everyone should have at least one striped shirt in their wardrobe.
I know, I know – it’s nothing you haven’t heard before, but I think it needs repeating.
And while the pattern doesn’t change, the style actually comes in different looks. Yes, striped t-shirts can be nautical, minimalist, maximalist, grunge or preppy. The colours and cuts make a big difference.
Black and white are a classic combination, but bright colours like green and pink are just as chic.
In terms of what to wear them with, I’ve seen many clashing theirs with other prints and patterns. Tie-dye, florals, checkerboard — the classic pattern pairs well with all of these. In fact, you can see it as a neutral.
If this has convinced you to add a new shirt to your styling arsenal, I’ve found the best ones to pick up right now.
