Style Watch: Our 10 favorite striped pieces that will become your spring style staple

Whether its autumn or spring, each season is all about stripes. These bold prints are visually vibrant trend and high street brands tend to feature wardrobe pieces in navy blue or black stripes. 

Some striped pieces have become a piece of fashion history, such is the classic Breton sweater (sailor stripes). Later on the legendary Coco Chanel introduced the design to the fashion world through her nautical collection in 1917. after being inspired by sailors, after a visit to the French coast. The Breton top became a symbol of haute-bourgeois loveliness during the pre-war Riviera years.

Whether they are horizontal, vertical, thin, thick, black or white, stripes will always make a bold fashion statement. Another great thing about stripes is that you can dress them up or down. When paired with the right wardrobe pieces, stripes can really emphasize your best features and keep you looking stylish from day to night.

For casual and everyday style, we recommend combining stripes with other monochrome colors in the rest of your outfit. For example, pair your favorite striped or chevron blouse with skinny jeans in monochrome color. When going to the office, it is best to combine stripes with white or black pants and tailored blazer.
