Patterns and prints are something the fashion world is obsessed about. Every year new patterns and prints dominate the runway, subsequently making their way into the street fashion as well. There are some patterns that are ever classic, such as polka dots, checks and stripes. Of these three patterns, the stripes are of particular interest to us. The stripes are now bigger and bolder than ever before and we are totally loving the look of that. Here’s a quick guide on how to carry off wearing bold stripes.

Go Big or Go Home!

Let the stripes be the focus of your attire. The bolder the stripes, the better. When you are looking to make a statement, you need to be loud and clear. So go ahead and show off the bold stripes in some innovative way. How about this pair of vertical striped trousers? If that is not statement-worthy we don’t know what is.

You say crazy? We say trendy!

Break the Rule

Stripes on stripes can be a little overwhelming and distracting. While this rule is sensible we are going to give you some naughty advice; go ahead and break the rule. Yes, you heard us right. Break. The. Rule. Pair a striped shirt with a striped bottom for a totally crazy overdose of stripes. Why stick to the rules and be a good girl when you can make your own rules like a boss. We say ‘’Own it gal!”
