How to Wear Horizontal Stripes

I used to think that I should never allow myself to wear horizontal stripes. You hear on the fashion segments on the news, read it in magazines, word of mouth, wherever, horizontal stripes make you look wider (which I’m assuming you don’t want).  Now, I’m not going to be revolutionary and tell you to only wear horizontal stripes but there is certainly a methodology for tackling this simple print.

1. Moderation: You’ve heard the adage “everything in moderation“. Abide by it. There is no need to be looking like Beetle Juice or a prison inmate.

2. Fit: Not everything needs to be super fitted. I used to overcompensate with bodycons (to show my figure) but realized that loose tees can be just as flattering like I’ve worn today. Plus loose tees are sooo comfortable (I sometimes fall asleep in mine). It just sometimes takes awhile to get that perfectly tucked into your shirt look. #amiright?

3. Size: The smaller the stripe the better if you’re worried about your appearance. If not, rock those thicker lines girl. Heck, Blair Eadie does it.

4. Style: Stripes can literally go with everything – they might as well be solids. Mix your prints, layer a striped tee under vest, have fun with it. Style it – don’t just put it on.

 That’s all I got. Those are my life altering insights. Enjoy your weekend babes!
