It's hard to find something more classic than a women's striped shirt. Borrowed from the men's wardrobe, it has long been considered a basic component of business and formal looks. However, not everyone knows that striped shirts are worn not only with formal skirts and trousers.
Types of banding
The fact that there are never too many stripes is proven by the wide range of options for their placement on the fabric. Most often you can find shirts:
- With one. A longitudinal or cross line on a shirt makes the item part of the color block style. These products differ in that the shirt itself can be one color, and the strip is made of fabric of a different, often contrasting shade to the base. The classic option is the combination of black and white.
- With small ones. Small longitudinal stripes on the shirt will add austerity and businesslike style. If you wear such a model with jeans or leggings, the image will be formed and successful.
Important! The only thing worth remembering is that a longitudinal line can visually fill out.
- With wide ones.The “top” with wide stripes looks impressive and catchy. They are worn with tight, high-waisted skirts, suit trousers, jeans and untucked leggings. Girls who have problems with their figure should remember that a wide stripe visually makes them heavier and adds extra volume.
- Obliquely. The print, reminiscent of notebook markings for primary school students, looks very stylish and interesting. Depending on the thickness of the line, blouses with bias stripes can add femininity and piquancy to the silhouette.
Important! You should not select accessories to match the oblique stripe on clothing.
- With horizontal markings. Don’t think that horizontal stripes are an option for the young and slender. If the print is of moderate width, it can be safely introduced into the image even for women whose weight is more than 60 kg.
- With vertical ones. A correctly selected item of this kind can visually elongate the silhouette and make it slimmer. It is simply impossible to find a more suitable option that would be suitable for study, work and walking at the same time.
What to wear with different shirt options
Creating a stylish and impressive look depends on many factors. You need to take into account both the features of your figure and personal preferences, which may or may not coincide with capricious fashion trends. A striped blouse can be combined with:
With trousers, jeans
Even the office dress code requires wearing trousers, under which you can safely wear a striped top. However, so that this image does not get lost among hundreds of the same ones, stylists recommend playing a little with shapes and styles. The trousers can be cut into a high-waisted tulip shape, embellished with a peplum or slightly flared towards the bottom.A bold, but no less successful solution for combining such a shirt with trousers would be a combination of pajama pants made of suiting fabric in neutral shades with a “top” in bright and wide stripes.
The combination of shirts with small and large vertical stripes is considered a win-win option. You can wear any kind of footwear with this ensemble – from sandals to sneakers and boots with chunky soles.
Brightly striped blouses worn untucked go well with summer light shorts. Also, in this look, a shirt can be worn over a top or swimsuit.
With skirts
When thinking about which skirt to wear under a shirt, you need to consider the following:
- With models of denim skirts, thick items in an oblique and horizontal line look great - an image for every day;
- Shirts made of silk or satin go well with strict tapered pencil skirts; shirts with small vertical stripes are a “bow” for work or study;
- with airy “bells” and “semi-sun” you can wear shirts with one stripe to match the “bottom” - an image for a date or meeting with friends.
Complete the look with shoes and accessories
The choice of accessories and shoes determines how the whole image will look as a whole. Those who want to dress in a “street” style can complement the shirt with a voluminous sweater thrown over it, ripped jeans, a voluminous “shopper” and suede flat pumps.
A combination of a thin striped shirt, skirt and high-heeled shoes will create a business look for any time of year. Glasses with stylish thin frames with an animal print will help to emphasize strict sexuality.
For a date with a young man or a meeting with old friends, you can choose a light chiffon blouse, a flared skirt, wedge sandals and a stylish hat that will protect from the sun and add individuality to your look.
Striped blouses and shirts fit well into sets for cold and warm seasons. Combinations of several types of stripes, different directions, widths and colors look especially fashionable. However, when combining such things, it is important not to overdo it with an abundance of stripes and contrasts.
