Fashion | How to Wear Stripes for 2018

Close Up of white jeans, monochrome bag and stripe top

Stripes are a key part of every spring summer wardrobe. They are the classic french riviera fashion pattern which is revived every year. When done right they can be incredibly flattering and make any outfit look well put together.

This season I'm loving the trends with stripes coming through which are a little less traditional. Stripes going in different directions, chevrons and clashing your stripes together is the new pattern clash.

Pair with white jeans for the ultimate summer vibe.

My 'top' in this outfit is actually a swimming costume from ASOS which I can use at the beach and as a body. It's got a gorgeous crossed back to it and is nearly identical to a French Connection swimsuit that I fell in love with but for a third of the price.

White Jeans with Stradivarius Stripe Mule Shoes and Accessorise Gucci Marmont Chevron Dupe

These shoes have been one of my most asked about items on Instagram. I got mine at ASOS which I now believe are sold out but they are still available from Stradivarius directly - link here - so you can snap them up. At less than £20 it would be rude not to.

This bag is also a great dupe for the Gucci Marmont Chevron and its over £1,700 cheaper. I mean you can't say no to that surely? You can thank me later.
