STRIPES
Stylist Alex Stedman shares her top tips for turning stripes on their head. Think beyond the classic Breton – this season, there’s so much more to play with
Accessorise this
“Bored of blue and white? Look into red, the colour of the season, instead. Team this crew-neck () with wide-leg paper-bag-waisted trousers (an interesting trend) and a striped bag for an easy off-duty look.”
Sharpen up
“A classic cotton shirt will be the hardest-working item in your wardrobe this spring. This version () would make a great workwear staple worn with a pair of well-cut trousers, or take the relaxed approach by rolling up the sleeves and pairing with denim to turn it into the perfect everyday piece.”

Seeing double
“Be bold and try stripes on stripes this season. Vertical lines are super-flattering and elongate the leg. Team these trousers with a finer, more subtle printed blouse to keep this outfit from looking too busy.”
“Plain accessories come
into PLAY here – you
want the stripes to speak
for themselves”

Dream in colour
“An update on classic red and navy stripes, I love the bold statement of this top. The colour yellow always puts me in a summery mood and when teamed with earthy colours, such as khaki, it can feel more sophisticated than when worn with denim. It feels unexpected, which I love.”
“Add some VITAMIN D
to your wardrobe with
mood-boosting yellow”
