I have to say that one of my favorite purchases for clothing this summer has been this simple striped cotton tee ($35). The cotton is super-soft and the cut trim but not tight — and something about the proportions of the sleeve length to the collar just nails an aesthetic I love. I wear it with everything from midi skirts to distressed denim.
It reminded me that I have never once regretted the purchase of a simple, straight-forward striped piece. Classic, timeless, effortless.
Some other striped goodies that have been on my mind:
+This cute pleat-back tee ($29).
+Such a cute cover-up ($148).
+An easy weekend style ($135) with Supergas or Hermes Orans — that label is pure French girl cool. Alternates: this Madewell t-dress ($80) or this boxy Everlane ($38).
+Splendid always does a good stripe; I love this OTS style, especially with a midi skirt (on sale for $40!); this classic (on sale for $48); and this ruffled/cut-out style ($68).
+Love the idea of a striped, slouchy long-sleeved tee worn over a bathing suit and jeans or underneath joveralls — something like this or this would fit the bill.
+A boxy classic from Levi’s ($29).
+For my preggo readers: I have it on good authority that this uber-soft striped tee ($48) is LE BEST.
+SUCH A CUTE backyard BBQ kind of dress (on sale for $122)!
