When looking back in the GCG archives, I’ve realized that I’m a huge fan of stripes. I stumbled upon this post where I paired a classic striped shirt with a great pair of white denim. Also, I absolutely LOVE this striped turtleneck and frequently style it on the blog {as seen in this post, this post, and most recently this post}. Lastly, this dress was a summer favorite of mine and I was able to find a very similar style here {for only $15!}.
To be honest, I used to have a love/hate relationship with the horizontal pattern. I really do love how easy it is to put together an outfit, but I hate how the lines can sometimes make you feel wider than you actually are.
The key to success is finding a thinner lined pattern or a vertical style. Also an unexpected color choice can be quite deceiving on the eyes. Whenever I feel like I have nothing to wear, I pull out the stripes, some denim, and a cute pair of slip-on sneakers.
Lately I have been hoarding stripes and got this cute hoodie, this boatneck top, and this cozy sweatshirt. I can’t help myself! Eeek! Today I’ve rounded up some styles that are all under $200.
What is your take on this classic pattern? I would love to hear!
ALSO: Remember this post? I’m getting super excited about the Mind & Body Wellness Retreat I’m attending this weekend at the Four Seasons Chicago with The Balanced Babe. Make sure to follow along on Instagram and Snapchat {username: goldcoast-girl}.
