Shop Jeen's striped sequin top is inspired by [vintage jail uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serial-killer-shop). The statement piece can be paired with the e-retailer's matching striped skirt or can be worn with jeans, shorts or a maxi skirt.

This cropped polo shirt boasts a black and white design that is easy to incorporate into one's existing wardrobe. The piece is priced at a $70 rate and can be made to look both casual and dressy depending on personal preference or the occasion.

Making a statement is easy with this striped sequin top that is a subtle homage to prisonwear from past decades. In addition to its retro and rebellious inspirations, the garment is also a subtle homage to [collegiate varsity apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homecoming-styles) that embodies a sportier aesthetic.
