STRIPES…BUT ADD DRAMA!

This ASOS design shows how you spice up a plain striped shirt. The EXTRA voluminous sleeve is so my style, I adore anything unique. Blue/white stripe pattern is made for the Summer months, paired with blue denim or white, the pattern is eternally chic. As the shirt is so covered it calls for a skirt or shorts. Here I paired the shirt with white tailored shorts, tan Gucci belt and white wedges. I recommend tucking or tying the shirt to add a casual vibe.

DREAMING OF BEACH DAYS

If this isn’t the cutest dress you’ve ever seen! ASOS is killing the game with their striped designs. I already purchased a blue/white stiped shirt dress and then they released this darling style. The tiered, frilled mini-dress design is a stunning variation of a summer dress. The plunge neckline and back adds flair to the cutesy style. Layer a lacy bandeau or a crop top underneath for a more covered look. The loose fit is idyllic for warmer weather, while in colder weather I recommend layering a white shirt underneath. I paired the dress with white wedges, a natural trilby and leather braided bracelet that I bought in Florence. The mix of natural accessories with the dress adds a vacation feel.

SASS IN STRIPES

Stripes are fun and charming for Spring/Summer. The nautical look has always been a favourite; it’s timeless and oh so chic! Shirt dresses are perfect for throwing on in Spring/Summer and always look stylish. This blue/white striped variation has a Summer Holiday vibe. The ASOS dress has a unique tie-round waist adding shape and sass to the plain shirt style. Having long legs, I often struggle to find dresses that are long enough; although the dress is a mini style it’s certainly a suitable length. Again, this look could be styled for an evening drink/date with heeled sandals and worn buttoned-low. Here I style the look casually, perfect for a beach visit or lunch-date with Zara leather sliders, Ralph Lauren mini tan bag and sunnies. Sunshine = stripes!

STRIKING STRIPES

Who doesn’t love a suit?! This one is perfect for in-between the spring and summer months. There is nothing smarter than a suit co-ord for a Spring/Summer evening out or holiday wear. This Primark suit has a tailored businesswoman style with a striking Ivory and deep Navy statement stripe. Paired with an H&M bralette and Primark stilettos the look becomes more fashion forward and youthful. The white lace bralette adds texture against the clean linen of the suit; creating contrasting fabrics, which is strong for this season. A classic white T and Sneakers would create a more casual edge. Bringing back the 60’s – the first era where pantsuits stormed female fashion, suits are still key and more relevant in current feminine fashion. Styling the hair with a relaxed beach-wave adds a refreshing uncomplicated look while a simple twisted topknot or low bun crafts a more sophisticated chic. This suit is perfectly seductive with a rebellious twist and a hint of nostalgia; all the requirements to kill it!
