Let me just say, I don’t do stripes, unless they are vertical. I own exactly four items with horizontal stripes:
1. a pink cashmere sweater with a very thin yellow stripe
2. a cowl neck t-shirt in grey and purple from the gap
3. a sweater that I wear sailing (what, doesn’t everyone have a sweater JUST for sailing?)
4. today’s shirt, a light blue and white striped Clothes shirt by Derek Andrew.
Today was a challenge because:
#1 didn’t really meet the trend requirement, in fact you really can’t see the yellow stripe in the sweater
#2 I could have gone with it, but it really doesn’t pair well with business pants (at least the ones that I pulled from the hangers).
So that left me with option #3. I normally wear this t-shirt with a pair of blue shorts in the summer on a chilly day.

Stripes are hard…but so are trends! Why aren’t you posting what you wear out at night as well? 🙂
