Bold Colorful Stripes

Stripes. Can we really call stripes a trend? Stripes are such a classic pattern. How can they be called a trend?

But for spring 2016, the timeless stripe gets an update you won’t believe in a spectrum of colors and bold widths. These aren’t your classic Breton stripes!

We are living in a beautiful fashion age when color is ruling the runway. It’s as if designers couldn’t settle on a select color palette, so the season became a color free-for-all.  And I couldn’t be happier about it! Besides the color overload, the stripes are also taking on new, funky shapes. Horizontal, vertical, thick, thin, continuous, broken up, or a combination thereof – pick your pattern poison.

Top 30 Stripe Picks

These candy-colored stripes are one of spring’s most wearable and versatile trends. Whether you opt for a statement-making dress or a simple shirt, there is a striped option for you this season. There is no shortage of options. In fact, there are so many bold, bright colorful stripes out there right now that we had a hard time narrowing our selections.

So, find here our top 30 picks for you to shop.

I’m a stripe lover any season. But this season has me especially enamored with stripes. Do you love stripes as much as I do? Which piece can you picture adding to your wardrobe this season? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Hi Carrie,
    That J.W Anderson sweater is really amazing.

    Not sure if this is too personal, but are you full time fashion blogging now? I couldn’t recall if you said you were still in the engineering world.

    Look forward to seeing you on FB and I also enjoy your Snap Chat.
