Striped print is not only characteristic of the sea style, although in the first place a striped dress (especially red, blue and white) really causes associations with the sea and water.

Modern women of fashion gladly replenish their wardrobes with striped outfits, since such dresses help to change the visual perception of the figure and get a flawless look. Let's discuss what a striped dress is like, what styles and color combinations it presents in our days and what it is worth wearing.

Who is going to?

Striped dresses are perfect for casual wear. The striped pattern is versatile and can be successfully combined with various accessories.

By choosing the direction of the stripes, you can adjust the shape, for example, with the help of vertical stripes, the girl will visually look higher, and thanks to the horizontal stripes you will be able to emphasize the seductive curves.

Styles and models

Striped dress is most often represented by such styles:

  • Fitted sleeveless model.
  • Dress to the floor.
  • A product with a monophonic top and a striped bottom (and also vice versa).
  • Tunic without belt.
  • Sundresses with straps.
  • Knitted dresses with long sleeves.
  • Dresses with A-silhouette.

Horizontal strip

As we have already mentioned, the use of horizontal stripes adds volume, so the outfit in such a strip of medium length or floor is advised to wear only slender young ladies. If a monochrome dress has several horizontal stripes on the chest, this will visually add to the volume of the bust, and placing such bands on the hips will emphasize the sporty figure.

Vertical strip

Both wide and thin stripes, which are located on the dress vertically, help to hide excess weight and add a slim figure to the figure. Especially effectively with such tasks copes outfit, which used contrasting colors.

Popular colors

Most often, the striped pattern is represented by two-tone combinations, for example, black and white, blue-white, red-white, green-black, pink-white or yellow-blue print. Consider the most common options for color combinations.

Black and white

This color combination is considered to be one of the most traditional, so dresses with black and white stripes are very diverse. Among them there are also long models in knitted flooring, and short chiffon dresses, and medium-length outfits made of cotton.

Especially often a black and white striped print is used for knitwear, which can be fitted or free cut. Such dresses are often complemented with accessories of bright color - scarlet, turquoise, orange, bright yellow and others.

The combination of blue, black and white stripes

Such a "sea" combination is often used in modern fashion. Dress in a strip of these shades will be a stylish outfit for walking around the resort town or going to the beach. A thin black lacquered belt, as well as accessories in white or blue color will suit it.

Blue white

This combination is inferior in popularity only to black and white versions of the striped print. Most often, the style of outfits of this color is quite simple - most of the blue-and-white dresses are straight, of different lengths, without bright finishes and belts. Nevertheless, there are models with lace or color inserts in which you can look feminine and romantic.

The combination of red, white and blue stripes

This color combination also refers to the “nautical” style. It looks especially impressive on short dresses. Achieving such a combination is possible with a blue-and-white striped outfit, urasiv it with a wide red belt.

Multicolored

If two-color combinations seem boring to you, nothing can stop you from choosing an outfit with three or more colors. For example, dresses with stripes of different shades of pink look romantic and tender. Fun and summer-like outfit, which combines beige, terracotta, green, blue and brown stripes. No less cute yellow-red-blue print.

Length

Long

In a striped dress in the floor, the figure looks more slender, especially if the print is represented by a vertical pattern. If the dress is so long that it hides shoes, pick up eye-catching accessories, such as an orange or yellow bag and a set of jewelry from a bracelet and necklace.

Midi

Striped dresses of medium length can be fitted and fitted with a belt. Such models often have no sleeves, and the neckline is V-shaped or round. Many models of striped midi dresses have three-quarter sleeves. Most of these dresses with an average length of the strips are located horizontally, although you can pick up a model with a diagonal as well as a vertical pattern.

Short

Such dresses with stripes are most in demand by women of fashion and can be either with a sleeve (short or long) or without it. Models on straps are worn in summer, and a striped dress with a mini skirt with long sleeves will be an excellent option for clothing for the autumn and spring, if you add such a dress with a plain coat or leather jacket.

Short models with flared skirt are usually represented by light summer dresses. They often wear sneakers and denim jacket.

Knitted

Especially often the striped print is used to create knitted dresses. They are comfortable to wear in the summer, especially if the model has an open top (similar to a T-shirt or strapless). However, much more often knitted striped dresses are designed for the autumn and spring season. They can be of different lengths, and also supplemented with a long or short sleeve.

These dresses are usually put on a jacket made of leather or jeans, a jacket or coat, boots, high sneakers or boots. Summer knitwear models are worn with sneakers, sandals, a hat and sunglasses.

Knitted

Striped machine-knitted dresses are especially popular in cool weather. The upper part of these dresses may resemble a sweater. Usually, a knitted striped dress has a sleeve of different lengths, and the length of the attire itself is usually average (although knitted dresses with a short skirt are quite common). Wearing a striped knitted dress is advised with boots or ankle boots, and accessories for such an outfit are best selected to be plain.

For full

Many girls in the body are sure that they should avoid a striped print, as they are accustomed to believe that such colors are full. In fact, to refuse to buy a striped dress in the presence of extra pounds is not worth it. Full young ladies are outfits in a small strip, but it should be chosen two-color combination.

Do not be afraid of dresses with horizontal stripes, if it is an outfit with a free cut, and colors include not very contrasting shades. An outfit in which a striped print is presented only in some part of it will also be an excellent option for a girl with excess weight.

Modern tendencies

Nowadays, striped pattern attributed to current trends. At the same time, great popularity is noted not only in dresses with two-color marine stripes, but also in the multi-color versions of such a print. In fashion collections now you can see both vertical, diagonal and horizontal stripes, and their combination in one thing.

What to wear?

In addition, dresses with black and white stripes look good with bright accessories, for example, yellow, blue or red. In this handbag, jewelry and shoes should be in the same range.

For a multicolored striped dress, on the contrary, pick a one-colored ornament or accessories without too much decoration. As an outerwear with a striped dress, you can wear a leather or denim jacket, jacket, fur vest, raincoat or coat. A good option would be to choose an extra item in one of the colors presented in the dress colors. If you want something neutral and versatile, look for beige or black shoes and a handbag of the same neutral color.
