Stripes are never out of style. From the instant Parisian chic of the Breton top to the sleek menswear-inspired pinstripe, this print is a perennial favourite for a reason. A staple of haute couture collections from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and Comme des Garáons, and the shelves of high-street favourites like Topshop, the stripe is here to stay. In The Art of Stripes, learn how to style your stripes and pair patterns like a pro. Go nautical with navy or clash with checks and florals. For androgyny with a twist, wear a pinstriped shirt backwards or tied around yourself for a softer look. Take on the colour-blocking trend with technicolour stripes, and make an impact with leg-lengthening vertically striped trousers. Featuring profiles on iconic stripe wearers such as Jean Seberg, Alexa Chung and Brigitte Bardot, you_ll never be short of inspiration. Beautifully illustrated by Libby VanderPloeg, this book makes the perfect gift for any fashionista who has earned their stripes.
