Hi Beautiful!!!

My style is simple: I tend to stick to neutral solid colors and I do not wear prints. But I will wear a small stripe to add depth, dimension, and interest to an outfit. Today, I am showing you how to style striped outfits for spring fashion 2024. Not only am I showing you how to style striped tops, popovers, T-shirts, button ups, and blouses, but I am also including how to style a pair of pinstripe culottes as well. As always, my style is easy breezy effortless style….with a hint of coastal grandmother or coastal casual. All of these outfits are appropriate for women over 40, women over 50, women over 60, and women over 70.

Horizontal v. Vertical Stripes?

There is this widespread belief that horizontal stripes are bad and vertical stripes are good. Many believe that horizontal stripes make women look broader and heavier and/or that horizontal stripes are just unflattering.  This is simply not true.  ANY type of stripes can look unflattering…it just depends on your body type.  As you can see in the photos below, I am wearing both vertical stripes and vertical stripes.  And the horizontal stripes are every bit as flattering as the vertical stripes!

As always, my these outfits exemplify easy breezy effortless style….with a hint of coastal grandmother or coastal casual. All of these outfits are appropriate for women over 40, women over 50, women over 60, and women over 70. Which is YOUR favorite?
