Trends to Try Before Summer Ends

Striped Tops

Time to set sail

Stripes aren’t just for sailors this summer. Traditional navy and white striped shirts have moved off the boat and onto the shelves of nearly every store this season. You might call this look “nautical” but we prefer Inlander’s phrase, “French Coastal Chic.” Ou la la.

The coolest thing about this trend is how many color options there are for stripes. Navy and white are classic (so feel good about this trend, it’ll last long after summer is over), while a soft gray and white provides a more sophisticated look. And if you want to bring in some bold color, lookout for hot pink, orange, neon green, and other eye-popping colors.

Inlander says J. Crew is the headquarters of all things striped. Have you seen their store recently? But you can find cheaper options in places like Forever 21, H&M, and Old Navy.
