Boldly Go: How to Wear Stripes

Nothing conjures up effortless summer style more than a stripe. It's a timeless aesthetic, that harks back to retro-style Riviera chic of the last century.

Our take starts with flowy, breathable linen – essential in warmer weather for everything from poolside lounging to sundowner drinks by the beach. Solid stripes offer visual structure to relaxed fits like this billowy playsuit or wide-leg trousers.

Team with a pair of suede sandals or leather flip-flops and you’ll be ready to soak up the sun in style.

Make a statement with long, sweeping stripes worn head to toe. Our maxi slip dress has a full, floaty shape thanks to the gathers at the neck. We also love how it plays with pattern; the stripes at the hem adding a striking contrast to the vertical stripes above.

Dressy occasions call for a more elevated approach. Smart shirting is always an elegant option for the office or daytime gatherings. Go for a classic-fit shirt in bold, solid stripes or opt for a fitted shirt for a tailored look.

A short-sleeve shirt in a light colour palette keeps things casual for easy, relaxed days. Jaeger’s boxy shirt dress creates a modern feel with a sleek, contemporary silhouette.
