Nautical Stripes

18 July 2008 No Comment

Small sweet stripes are a staple of every women’s wardrobe. Coco Chanel  received her inspiration from sailors’ clothing and used the striped jersey to create a dramatic and jaunty sports shirt for women.

Navy stripes and cotton-whites stripes never fade out of fashion. A classic striped cardigan or top, adds a nautical twist and understated chic. Its  crisp and clean lines are always a fashion ‘do’.

A great way to look stylish is to  combine a navy jacket or ice-white trousers and accessories with a pair of glamorous sunnies. This look will instantly remind one of the ocean, its soft sand and gentle waves.

But, try not to overload yourself with stripes, go subtle, or you will look like Popeye.
