The Fine Lines
Sweeping lines are a great detail to have on a piece of clothing any time of the year.
They create interest and movement without taking too much attention away from the other pieces in your ensemble. Try an option like the Striped Cotton Graphic T-Shirt available from Ralph Lauren Boys, which features red and black parallel stripes on a stark white background. Whether it’s stripes, diagonal prints, or fine lines, the time has come for you to make a beeline for the trend that is your ticket to easy mixing and matching this season.
A bright color combination is a wonderful choice when looking for a striped garment that shines with a little extra pizazz.
One way to achieve that desired level of dazzling quality is with the Mens Slim Fit Stretch Easy Care Multi Stripe Dress Shirt, available from the Nick Graham Collection at Macy’s. Designed in pink, teal, and lilac variations, I recommend grabbing the first two pleasantly bright options to have in your wardrobe for weekly rotation and tireless nights out lighting up the town.
Lines are all fine and dandy but how about bringing them together in a pattern that is the just as stylish cousin of the good old stripe?
The fine criss-crossing of a piece like the Slim Vancey Check Tie takes you in a whole new direction that’s equally classic. The varying pink toned checks bring an elegance that’ll catch more eyes than the subtler stripe while not overtaking other components of your outfit. Wear with cool dark tones to complete the look with your own touches of personality!
The diagonal line is a personal favorite print of mine because it gives new life to an already timeless concept simple by being at a different angle.
Do the same and more for your ensemble with the Slim Neal Stripe Tie, from Perry Ellis Ties. Show off your bolder side with a rich burgundy, red, and navy color cascade and be confident in knowing that your stylish self is making all the right slightly skewed statements.
Last but certainly not least in line is an elegant and simple foundation from which you can build all of your other striped outfits.
Tone it down but don’t forfeit your attention to detail with the Mens Slim Fit Floral Jacquard on Pinstripe Dress Shirt, from the Tallia collection at Macy’s. Designed in a demure light blue with eggshell white pinstripes going down it, this shirt matches with virtually anything your heart desires. Wear it with dark jeans for a dressed up rustic look or pair with chino pants and a blazer for a lovely evening out.
