Bold stripes are in!

Sure, pinstripes are still fashionable, suitable for business attire or for a forties style chic outfit.

Bold stripesBold stripes

But the big news is this: bold, colourful, shiny stripes look very stylish. They were seen on jackets, dresses, skirts, tops and even on fur coats. The horizontal ones are not a fashion taboo anymore. Want a busy bee look with a glamour touch? Wear a body conscious shiny horizontal striped dress or top with a belt or a strap.

If you can’t choose from horizontal and vertical pattern why not choose both on the same garment? Optical illusion and graphic prints are one of the key-trends of this fall.
