So I have this little addiction with buying anything striped. I own quite a big collection of striped clothing and it never stops growing.
It's a classic and simple pattern that never fails to complement and complete an outfit. I have come to realize that stripes have essentially become a wardrobe staple for me. I'm not too sure whether it's the symmetry, the clean cut look or maybe I just want to look like a French mime, but stripes seem to work for me!

TOP TIPS
- Don't be afraid of mixing patterns, stripes and florals are the way to go.
- Co-ords are cute and there's nothing wrong with matching.
- Branch out from just Black and White stripes.
- A striped T-Shirt can cater to a variety of looks from casual, work attire to formal.
- Stripes add symmetry and balance out your look.
- Hats complement stripes.
STREET STYLE
1. You have so much that it's hard to find a matching pair.
Being the disorganised and forgetful person I am, I had 2 days to put together an outfit for a birthday party with pretty much no money. But, I managed to pull off a generally cheap outfit that only cost me $40 (rounding up).
My tip for last minute cheap outfits would be to purchase plain items that you can accessories and wear again. Try not to have something specific in mind otherwise it becomes a complete nightmare to find it, especially if that certain something is out of season or too expensive, just style as you go.
