Falling In Love with Stripes: Reintroduction to Five Stripes this Autumn Season

There are days when I think I could possibly be at my optimal happiness with the fashion industry. Growing up my mom never let me leave the house unless my outfits were colour and pattern coordinated. While some individuals suffer from colour blindness, my mother probably thought I suffered from pattern awareness.

I mixed plaids, floral, stripes: it all was worn simultaneously with sometimes a barely perceptible common denominator. My skirt could have a minor blue thread interwoven at random intervals, which would cause me to overdose on every blue hue found within the confines of my closets.

My tastes have tamed since then, much to the pleasure of the retinas belonging to family and friends, but secretly I am giddy over the prospect that from catwalks, to sidewalks, to the quick jaunt from home office to refrigerator, mix and match is finally being appreciated as uncapped beauty. Stripes now have permission to mingle and date with polka dots, with flora, with bling and bedazzled accessories. So if you find your closet is lacking some essential striped staples, then you’ve stopped at the right place.

Breton Stripe Scarf from Boden

One of the most integral striped pieces you can own today and in this quickly cooling season is a scarf. This nautical themed scarf from Boden is sure to give a boost, an exclamation point to any outwear you don. Give a little controlled splash to your outfit instantly with the cotton wool blend of fashionable heat.

Colourblock Cashmere Scarf from Boden

 Want to take the stripe design up a notch? Go for the triage of color with some block stripes in the ever lovable and super cozy cashmere. If you simply want to add some flair to a basic casual outfit, or the wind is giving you shivers up and down your spine, this is a great stripe to own!

Chain Lurex Stripe Jumper from Lipsy

It’s not often that we can wrap ourselves in horizontal stripes with an end result that is flattering and slimming, but Lipsy outdid themselves with a simple yet profound knitted sweater that is form fitting thus accentuating the curves in a positive manner and highlighting the smallest part of your waist: something that summer spring or autumn we love!

Lara Zebra Print Leggings from Boohoo

I know you’ve been waiting for it, so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Not all stripes are so mathematically correct featuring perpendicular line. Fashion derives from many aspects of life and nothing proves this more than the zebra stripe. Catch a chic flick with your girls and be bodacious and comfortable in some leggings and a long tunic that won’t ignore the impact stripes have!

 Zaina Red Suedette Patent Stripe Wedge Shoe Boot from Boohoo

Go crazy and add some unexpected dimension with some suede wedges that will keep your feet dry and high while maintaining a healthy serving of stripes.

In rainbow arrays of colour, in symmetrical style or just animal inspired, there is room for stripes in every facet of our wardrobe – and as autumn and shop windows have shown in every season. Are you ready to fall back in love with some hearty stripes?
