When it comes to clothing, finding just the right fabric design can add immense texture to an otherwise flat ensemble, which is why these striped fashion finds will help give a touch of structure. Whichever the choice, stripes and pinstripes help to define lines, contour to specific shapes and accentuate what would otherwise be ignored.
Many of the items here draw nautical influence, which is synonymous with the classic white and navy striped pattern; this style has seeped slowly into the fashion world where now everything from scarves to slacks can be found in the contemporary print. While some might stray away for fear of not being able to pull off certain cuts, these striped fashion finds can help take an outfit from casual to contemporary.
