As another Summer rolls around, a sense of fun and
festivities fills the warmer air. Weekends call for more socialising, more
entertaining and more reason to dress for the party season. So what do you wear
to a weekend soiree where enjoyment is key, and style is more casual? A striped
tee is a must in any wardrobe and is a great way to look up to date without
having to try too hard.
Stripes can be tricky and
there are some simple rules to follow when choosing a stripe to flatter your
shape. Visually, a horizontal stipe does draw the eye widthways, so choosing a
stripe to suit you is important. Opt for very fine horizontal stripes in darker
colours if you want to camouflage your stomach or you carry your weight in your
upper body, including a big bust. Small busts can wear wider stripes in bolder
colours and a high boat neck will enhance the bust.
More tips on stripes:
- Gradients
in the stripes can strategically draw the eye to your best features
- Stripes
on angles can visually draw the eye, i.e. to your waist
- Vertical
stripes on trousers create the illusion of a longer leg
- If
stripes scare you, then team your tee with a jacket or cardigan to block
the width of the stripes across your bust or tummy
