Stripes

When wearing stripes in general, it's all about what you pair it with. Keep the rest of your outfit simple with solid colors, pastel hues, or interesting textures like denim, leather, or lace. 

Striped Bottoms

A fitted striped trouser or skirt is generally best paired with a fitted cropped top, tunic or layered with a jacket. 

A looser billowy striped bottom can be worn with a loose or fitted top.  Always remember to keep the outfit classy, simple, and sleek. Don't be afraid to tuck in your tops and accentuate your waistline.
