Decoding the trend: Summer Stripes
Means What : Stripes have long been a wardrobe staple. Think back Jean Paul Gaultier’s famous Breton stripes now immortalized as the perfume bottle, or simply think Parisian chic. However, this summer Prada favoured stripes of a colourful kind, giving the classic Berton stripes a twist in the form of thick bands of pink, green and orange and making them perfect for the warm weather. In India, designers added a hint of colourful stripes in their light jackets and boleros.
How to: Banish the monotone of Breton stripes this season for bolder hues. Think fuschia, green and electric blue. Opt for loud stripes, like this Zara multi stripe T-shirt, team it with a block coloured red skirt or go all out in Vivienne Westwood Anglomania’s striped linen dress.
