Women's striped shirt: what to wear?
Stripes have long been a classic. As interesting as this trend is, it is also dangerous. Striped bows can be seen everywhere - on the street, in stores, on the Internet, in movies and other places. Often the stripe saves the overall picture by stretching the silhouette, but sometimes the opposite happens.
How to create an image with striped clothes and how to find exactly your stripe? Let's start with the fact that the strips can be:
- vertical;
- horizontal;
- diagonal.
Sometimes a product can combine two at once, and sometimes three options at the same time.
Do not forget that due to the correctly chosen option, you can create a visual illusion and correct some figure defects.
There are generally accepted concepts about stripes.
Vertical stripe is the most optimal and suitable for all types of figures. It is she who has the right to visually stretch the figure.
Horizontal strip - visually expands the figure, it is not recommended to be worn by overweight ladies. On the other hand, with its help, you can illusory increase individual parts of the body, such as the chest, hips or shoulders. To do this, you do not need to fully dress "under the zebra", one thing in the outfit will be enough.
If you are not very happy with your hips, opt for a voluminous skirt or striped shorts.Not satisfied with your breast size? Choose a blouse, shirt or top with a horizontal stripe.
The magic wand among the stripes is the diagonal stripe. In some cases, a diagonal strip can both expand and narrow the figure.
The main advantage is that it creates a beautiful waist curve in women who do not have it at all. In such cases, you need to choose a shirt model in which the strip narrows to the waistline.
To perfectly match a striped shirt, you need to remember that a lot depends on the width, length, frequency and color of the stripes. Also important is the texture of the material from which it is sewn, and, of course, the density.
Narrow or frequent stripes
This type of stripes will illusory reduce the figure in volume. It suits plump girls.
It will be perfect if you pick up a cardigan of this color. It will hide the flaws, and significantly reduce curvaceous forms.
wide stripes
On the contrary, they will fill up even more. As products that are well suited for such stripes, it is recommended to purchase skirts below the knee, such were worn in the 60s of the last century.
Do not neglect voluminous, but narrow at the waist, skirts. In youth slang, they sound like sun skirts. The fabric must be dense, "standing". In this case, the image will be feminine and resemble a figurine.
One vertical stripe
Such a stripe is mainly veiled under a contrasting placket on a shirt or dress with an arrow on trousers. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to secret signs. Such models will always slim and stretch the figure of the owner. Ideal examples are classic trousers for the office, pipe jeans with vertical seams, elongated earrings.
Once you've decided on a stripe and shirt that's perfect for your figure, you can start experimenting!
Striped shirt + skirt
To choose the right skirt for the shirt, you need to decide whether the strip will be an accent or, conversely, will set off the skirt. The option with a narrow pencil skirt looks tempting. The strip can be chosen as a marine horizontal or bright vertical. It is advisable to choose a medium length skirt. In both the first and second options, it is worth putting on shoes at least with a small heel.
Striped shirt + pants
Despite the fact that this option is a classic, you can return to it again and again. To do this, you can choose a shirt with an unusual cut. Batwing sleeves, cutouts on the back or at the level of the collarbones, an asymmetric bottom - all this will refresh the familiar look, and the strip on the product will correct the figure.
If the shirt is loose-fitting, you can tuck it in, only halfway, which will create some stylish negligence in the image. In cool weather, you can wear an elongated neutral-colored cardigan over it.
Striped shirt + shorts
In this set, a shirt with a classic fitted cut will be ideal. You can draw a parallel between a strict top and an informal bottom. Shorts can be either ripped denim or plain bright. You should add a thin strap and be sure to jacket. The color of the jacket can be absolutely any, but the model is classic.
Thus, if you have a jacket and a formal striped shirt for the office, it will be enough to replace the formal bottom with comfortable shorts. So in your wardrobe there will be another look for walking with girlfriends or loved ones on the weekend.
Striped shirt + jeans
No, it's not banal at all.Of course, for a simple and comfortable look, you can combine it with almost your favorite jeans models: boyfriends, skinny, pipes. But it is worth paying attention to something else - flared trousers. Incredibly stylish combination. To do this, you need to choose high-heeled shoes so that the jeans barely cover the shoes completely.
Mandatory in the image will be a belt that breaks the top with the bottom and a bag: bowler, hobo, weekend or trapeze.
There is not a single brand or fashion house that would not take the stripe at least once as a leitmotif. It happens that things in stripes move from collection to collection. A big fan of marine colors, of course, is Tommy Hilfiger.
Throughout the history of the brand, the collections contain a huge number of striped polos, casual dresses and lingerie. This proves that the stripe is not always synonymous with a strict dress code.
Stripes from the Italian brand Marina Yachting flow smoothly from collection to collection. The very concept of the brand is a marine theme, which is evident not only from the abundance of striped bows, but also from the brand logo itself. Who knows more about the marine theme in clothing than the founder of the fashion brand, which was the Italian navigator Nicolo Gavino.
It is worth ending with the fact that the striped shirt is a basic and versatile wardrobe item. The main thing to remember is that the stripe, whatever one may say, is still an accent in both the classic and the sporty version. Carefully study the maximum variations of stripes, find your only one, and then fantasize, experiment and inspire others.
