Striped print is a classic among fashionistas' outfits. But despite this, every year stripes in various versions and sizes appear at fashion shows of famous designers. That is, stripes are not a boring solution at all, but an unusual highlight in any outfit. This is what will set the main tone in the finished image. If you want to try introducing a striped print into your wardrobe, buy a jacket of any style you like.
The relevance of striped jackets
The women's version of the jacket began to be sewn back in the days of Coco Chanel, and it was she who had a hand in creating this attribute. The jacket began to resemble a light coat. This item has won the love of the public because of its convenience, versatility and elegance. The look can change a lot because of the jacket. It suits absolutely everyone: age, color type, weight will not prevent you from wearing a jacket (photo).
Models
A jacket can become an accessory or even a main detail: it all depends on the chosen model and method of decoration.
- If your figure allows you to wear fitted clothes, then buy a shorter version that will highlight your shape and add a touch of sexuality.
- For older women, it is better to choose an elongated jacket: the oversized element will visually reduce excess weight, visually lengthen you, and adjust your waist and hips.
- But if you don’t care at all how the jacket will look on you, consider several styles at once: long with short sleeves or long, short or medium. The strip on the fabric can be supplemented with a brooch or a small number of buttons.
What to wear with a striped jacket
With white
Best striped jacket combination? Definitely with white elements! So much so that this color becomes the main accent in the finished set: try combining a black and white striped blazer, perfectly snow-white skinny jeans and any accessory of your choice. If this option is too boring for you, wear a jacket with a colored pattern.
To the party
Combining office style and informal elements is a risky experiment, but the result can captivate anyone at a dinner party. Put on a striped two-piece suit with a stiff shoulder belt, find leather pants or a skirt in your stash, and boldly choose a crop top over a boring shirt. And thus, you have a street style combined with a seemingly ordinary dress code.
If you don’t have leather items in your wardrobe, then a dark short circle skirt will create a more relaxed outfit, but still not boring. In order not to completely get stuck in the framework of a strict straight-A student, take beige ballet shoes.
ADVICE: A jumpsuit is a truly versatile item, so it can be suitable for both a party and a relaxing walk.Try wearing a vertical striped jacket on him and use classic black slip-ons as shoes. Stylish and not overloaded.
With a dress
On a cold autumn evening, try to remember a warm, thick jacket and a woolen dress. If the weather gets a little worse, wear nylon tights. A micro belt bag, especially popular this year, is suitable as an accessory. All products will be the same length, and this is how you will show off your legs to the whole world, but the chance of freezing in this case will be reduced to zero.
IMPORTANT: Dresses are a wonderful decoration for any girl, but you should be careful with uniform black and white stripes, because not all colors go well with this contrasting print: it is usually the one that takes all the attention.
Choose a bright burgundy minidress or a monochrome emerald one.
With jeans
The look is simple in its “composition”: a T-shirt with your favorite print, comfortable skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans, a blazer. But it is the last element that attracts the attention of all passersby, because a stripe will create an unusual look from any outfit due to its colors and shapes. And if you find vintage jeans and a Western belt, you can turn your usual outfit into something new. Shoes – low-top sneakers for street style, black lace shoes or ankle boots. Don't be afraid to overdo it, the jacket will fix everything if you make a mistake.
For a walk
Total-look with a striped print, why not? A classic jacket is perfectly combined with the same pants and black shoes, which will add a pinch of severity to the final outfit.
If you can’t find striped pants or shorts, then a simple dress would be the ideal option for a walk on a hot day.It is this that will give a natural and organic appearance to the girl’s appearance. But if you're a fan of street style, consider jacket styles with asymmetrical patterns, small slits in the fabric (you can do this carefully yourself) and pairing jeans or leggings with ripped knees. Any top will fit perfectly into a bold combination of things and harmoniously complete it.
Less risky girls should pay attention to laconic jackets of medium length, skirts of any style they like and knee socks. Nobody has canceled the image of a cute schoolgirl yet, right?
With trousers
Casual style suits everyone, so don't forget about it. When choosing a black and white striped pantsuit, add a touch of sophistication with dark leather loafers or black slip-on sneakers.
Black or blue dress pants will never ruin your look, so feel free to mix classics and bright stripes. For shoes, choose oxfords.
Shoes
If the top is ready, then there are often problems with the bottom, the shoes. 70% of the success of the finished image comes from it. Try to choose high-quality materials and do not skimp on a sample that is convenient and comfortable for you. For everyday wear, choose flat shoes, classic loafers, sneakers (a hit of recent years) or loafers. Closed toe shoes, heels or wedge sandals are the best dress code guidelines to follow. Try to choose a basic color: blue, black, beige. For parties, try combining light shades: white boots with lace, ankle boots, stocking boots.
ATTENTION: Shoes in bright colors often do not go well with striped patterns.
Some tips
As stated earlier in the article, When buying a jacket, consider the characteristics of your figure. Wide stripes are for larger girls, and narrow stripes, on the contrary, are suitable for young and slender girls. Try not to wear horizontal patterns to the office; for informal meetings, choose combined prints.
In warm weather, choose a lightweight material: silk or cotton. In spring, give preference to satin, viscose or acrylic. Even if these are not natural fabrics, you will feel comfortable in them and will not freeze. In the fall, it’s time to take striped knitted or leather blazers out of your closet.
IMPORTANT: Striped items can be combined with other prints, but you need to be extremely careful here. Use only two things with an unusual pattern if you are afraid to take risks. Thin stripes look harmonious with large ornaments and vice versa.
Never be afraid of bold decisions and experiments, express yourself!
