It’s no surprise to find that most of us have a striped shirt buried somewhere in our wardrobe that is ready to be worn again. The striped shirt or the Breton shirt has always been one of the timeless clothing pieces apart from the classic LBD. It has its breakthrough moment when Comme des Garcons released its ‘PLAY’ collection that included a striped top that features a Comme des Garcons red heart chest emblem on it.
The striped shirt can match just about every other pieces, making it nice and versatile. Whether it is for a casual event or a formal event, nothing could ever go wrong with the striped shirt. Besides wearing it down with just a pair of jeans and flats, we are wearing it out of the ordinary style with several other items that matches perfectly with the striped shirt. Here are 6 favourite ways to wear with a striped shirt.
1. Floral Skirt
We love playing with mix-and-match and the striped shirt looks perfectly fine with the floral skirt. The overall look doesn’t look overly-done and surprisingly the stripes and the floral make a such a great combination together. Mixing prints has never been look so good with this combination here.
2. Shorts
Long-sleeve striped shirt matches well with short shorts when worn with any type of shoes. It is a very casual look which is perfect for a day out or for Sunday brunch.
3. Skinny jeans
While most people prefer wearing short shorts or skirt over their striped shirt, we absolutely love it when it was worn with a pair of classic skinny jeans. We totally dig this back-to-basic look especially with the red lips to glam up this look.
4. Leather jacket
Leather jacket is undeniably the best outer wear ever as it can never go out of style. We love this model-off-duty look as much as the models do. Throw it over your shoulders or just simply wear it with the black-and-white striped shirt gives it a genuine rocker chic look without going over the top.
5. Pencil Skirt
Pairing a striped shirt with a knee-length pencil skirt can gives us a neat and polished look. Be experimental with the colour of skirts and perhaps pair the shirt with the spring summer colour such as pale yellow or burgundy.
6. Polka Dot Skirt
Surprisingly, stripes and polka dots can get along pretty well together and this look is definitely for those who look for an unique yet matching look. However, this look must be done with the right techniques as too much patterns might overthrown the desired look. The spots should be as small as possible so that it overwhelm the stripes. This look is similar with the stripes and floral look but this look gives a preppy chic look instead.
