Just until about 3 or 4 years ago (or maybe 5?), I completely avoided stripes in my wardrobe. If something had stripes on it, I’d look the other way. Nowadays, though, I can’t resist them. Mostly, I go for the horizontal variety, but I also look for something a bit unusual (e.g., I loved this Banana Republic top as soon as I put it on).

Here are several stripes that caught my eye.

stripe t-shirt, Max Mara

Signature boatneck stripe top, L.L.Bean

Gemma flats, J.Crew

ruffled bell-sleeve shift dress, J.Crew

stripe bead top, Banana Republic

draped cami, Tibi

stripe tee, Old Navy

glitter spot Breton, Boden

boxy stripe top, Boden

striped tee, Le Petit Bateau
