In the wardrobe of a modern girl, among basic clothes in solid colors, there will definitely be a striped outfit. In 2018, this summer “striped” trend comes back into fashion and options in vertical and horizontal stripes, narrow and wide, plain and in various colors appear on store shelves. Let's talk about how to properly combine this print in shorts with other elements of a woman's wardrobe.
First of all, we recommend following simple rules when choosing striped clothing.
Firstly, you should not wear several pieces of striped clothing at the same time. This will make the image visually “heavy” to perceive.
Secondly, pay attention to the shape of the strip: vertical and narrow stripes will visually create a slender image, unlike horizontal ones.
Third, do not forget about color harmony. The most trendy colors in striped clothing are considered to be contrasting: black and white, blue and white (sailor suits), etc.At the same time, for the set it is recommended to purchase clothes from the same color scheme, for example: a black and white bottom and a fashionable white polo.
Of course, the tips we described are approximate and you should not give up new ideas. We recommend that you look at yourself, and if you like the result, then by all means use it!
What types of clothing are suitable for combination with striped shorts?
Striped shorts will help you embody various fashionable looks when combined with an original top. Let's look at the most popular combinations. A plain blue T-shirt made of flowing fabric and a blue and white bottom is an ideal option for fans of casual style for every day. The T-shirt can be untucked or casually tucked in.
The combination of a white blouse with lush frills on the chest or neat perforations will create the image of a romantic girl. The outfit is ideal for a walk with your loved one.
For cool summer evenings, we suggest using a combination of a sweater in the same color scheme with stripes.
How to choose the color scheme of the top for striped shorts
The elements in a set of clothes should create a single image, so you should carefully select outerwear to go with striped shorts.
If you are going to wear a plain T-shirt or long sleeve, we recommend choosing one color scheme. For example, a bright top that attracts attention, and a contrasting bottom with black and white stripes.
Outerwear with a print should be in harmony with shorts. For example, a white T-shirt with a red accent would be ideal for shorts with red and white stripes. At the same time, try to avoid prints in the form of a pattern; it is advisable that the image on outerwear be large and located in the center of the product.
How to choose the right printed or striped clothes for a set with striped shorts
The fashion trend in 2018 is two-piece suits: a top or cropped T-shirt and shorts. As a rule, they are sold together, or located next to each other on the shelf.
If elements of “striped” clothing for the top and bottom are purchased in different stores, it is advisable that calm pastel colors prevail in the image. For example, a thin striped jacket looks harmonious when paired with a light beige bottom.
What to wear with striped shorts to create a casual, business, elegant look
A casual outfit with a striped bottom paired with a jacket becomes the perfect pairing for an elegant look. We recommend avoiding adding additional “striped” elements in the form of accessories (handbags, headbands, hats, etc.) or jewelry. This can make the image look overloaded.
