THE NEW BLUE STRIPE - SS17


The blue striped shirt is a style staple all year through, but Spring is always where is takes centre stage. Oversized or fitted SS17 has fresh updates for everyone including embroidery, ruffles and frills. If the original is still your favourite though fear not.

The catwalks saw the traditional shirt being deconstructed and given a modern twist with differing stripes, open backs, off-the shoulder and ties. Its all about taking what you already know and turning it on its head. And the high street doesn't disappoint....

Another huge trend that's going nowhere for Spring is embroidery and the humble striped shirt showcases this perfectly.

The most versatile answer to this trend is of course the original; the oversized, button down with simple stripes. Whether its from your wardrobe or his it will quickly become an easy day to day staple you can't live without. Wear it tucked in to high waisted boyfriend jeans or loose with skinny jeans. Or if you want to really see what it can do for you, step outside the box, mix up fabrics, patterns and layer it up.
