Why You Should Wear Summer Stripes

A striped T has it’s perks. Let’s discuss.

  • They never go out of style: so you can wear it for years, saving you money.
  • Adds texture and print: which makes you look pulled together effortlessly.
  • They go with everything: it’s a neutral! Saving you precious time searching for the perfect outfit. Versus staring in your closet thinking “I have nothing to wear!”
  • They are comfortable: making you feel happy when running errands, eating, etc.
  • Seasonal! You can wear these puppies in the summer, spring, winter and fall – that whole “save you money” thing again.
  • They hide stuff: wrinkles and stains are not as noticeable. Go ahead, reach in that dirty hamper!

My husband thinks I have too many “striped” things, but the reality is – I don’t have enough! I recently got this red and white striped crew neck – a dead ringer for the famous Comme des Garcons Play Striped t-shirt (fraction of the price!). I’ve worn it more times than I’d like to admit. A few examples…

  • With cropped black pants and flats for a midweek dinner with the girls.
  • With leggings for lounging and watching Game of Thrones.
  • Heels and ripped jeans for date night.
  • With shorts and sneakers for running errands.

I compiled my favorite striped t’s below. I’ve struggled to find a crew neck style (versus boat neck) for YEARS. I swear crew necks make you look skinnier! You can’t beat the price of mine {fyi – size up!}. Also, it’s just long enough where you can tuck it in or leave it as is – adding to the versatility of it all.

How many striped tops do you own? Any favorites? I write the famous Heidi Merrick tee on my Christmas list every year – but I don’t think Santa is getting the hint. Maybe I’ll get lucky this year! X-mas in July anyone?
