The most stylish way to wear stripes is to pair with sophisticated, bold accessories. Statement jewelries and colourful details are just some of the classic pieces that can upgrade your stripe.

Stripes can sometimes be too overwhelming. If you feel like the prints overpower you, then tone done the look with nude pumps or a sleek blazer or jacket. These structured pieces will fuse some formality to the casual look of your stripes.
