I can't believe you have not yet had any comments on this great post. Well, let me be the first. I adore stripes whether vertical or horizontal. They add such wonderful visual interest to an outfit. That said, however, proportion and placement are key.
ReplyDeleteYou've given us so many wonderful choices here. I guess it's my French blood, but I do love a great "marinière" stripe (horizontal, narrow navy blue and white) which is a staple in most French women's wardrobes. I have a favorite from H&M, believe it or not. The top part is white and the stripes begin right at the bust line. Not recommended for large busted women, but, as I said it's all in the placement and the size of the stripes.
Horizontal stripes do NOT add pounds if they are the right size and the right proportion.
Great post, Debra.
Cheers, M-T
I always enjoy hearing your opinion on a blog post, Marie-Thérèse because you have great style and give good tips! I think H&M has fantastic designers. Sometimes I don't like the manmade fabrics they tend to use, but I've snatched up a great find there a few times.
DeleteOld Navy is great too for cotton summer dresses. Somethings the the cut is hit or miss -- the the length can be too short, but the retailer offers free returns, so it's risk-free. Two summers ago, I bought 3 stripe fit and flare dresses for under $20 each from them, that I wear lots.
I would also love that top expensive Prada dress. Great color and I'm sure, well-made.
