I’ve been looking to add a lot more bright items to my closet for this season so when I saw this dress at Eclipse, I knew I had to have it. When I finally went to go purchase it, my size was the last one they had in the store so I like to take that as a sign as it was meant to be. I had a fear that people would be able to see my underwear through the back of the dress but when I tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised that I saw no lines! No line and only my size left? SOLD!
8 Tips for Wearing Stripes:
- Opt for horizontal lines when you can.
- Choose vertical stripes if you are looking to lengthen
- Choose pieces with thinner rather than thicker stripes.
- Horizontal lines can add curves to your body.
- Be careful of the placement of the lines, always try on a striped dress before purchasing.
- Pair stripes with a solid base. ex. If you’re wearing a stripe shirt, opt for a solid base.
- Black & White stripes always look good with leopard print.
- If you’re afraid of wearing stripes, add them in with an accessory – a bag, sunglasses, shoes
