Penciled Perfection

Craving some sexy stripes for a night on the town? Try a striped pencil skirt, like the one Rosie Huntington-Whiteley dons with a teal tank and wide belt. If you’re weary of looking too wide in the stripes, pair the skirt with a jacket that will provide a bit of coverage. If you’re ready to wear your stripes with pride, tuck a blouse into the skirt for a streamlined look. Pair with sky-high heels and a clutch and you’re ready to go.

A Sailor's Favorite

Rose Byrne opts for a classic with a nautical black and white-striped T-shirt. The tan blazer and black pumps dress up the outfit, but black and white stripes are versatile enough to work for any occasion. For a casual summer look, pair with your favorite denim shorts or a light linen pant. Finish up with simple makeup like Byrne’s bronzer and berry lipstick.

Sheer Brilliance

The trend of sheer shirts is popular but intimidating as you’ve got to strike the delicate balance between classy and tacky. Laura Whitmore is on point with her sheer black and white collared button-up; the contrast between the stripes keeps attention focused on the shirt itself rather than what’s underneath. If you’re trying out a sheer shirt, take Whitmore’s cue and opt for simple undergarments like a black bra—a bright color or print would be way too distracting.

From Day to Night

How do you transform a simple shorts and tank top combination into a chic look? Follow Jessie Malakouti’s lead and throw a blazer and colorful heels into the mix. A striped blazer or jacket is not only an aesthetically-pleasing addition, but it’s also a practical way to make a daytime outfit work for the cooler evening temperatures. Stay comfortable and fashionable!
