Striped dresses - sea breeze in the wardrobe

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

Modern fashionistas are happy to replenish their wardrobes with striped outfits, since such dresses help to change the visual perception of the figure and get an impeccable look. Let's discuss what a striped dress can be, what styles and color combinations it is presented in our days and what it is worth wearing.

Striped dresses are ideal as a casual outfit. Striped pattern is universal and successfully combined with various accessories.

Having chosen the direction of the stripes, you can adjust the figure, for example, with the help of vertical stripes the girl will visually look higher, and thanks to horizontal stripes you will be able to emphasize seductively the curving curves.

A striped dress is most often represented by such styles:

• The fitted model without sleeves.
• Dress on the floor.
• A product with a plain top and a striped bottom (and vice versa).
• Tunics without a belt.
• Sundresses with straps.
• Knitted dresses with long sleeves.
• A-line dresses.

As we already mentioned, the use of horizontal stripes adds volume, so it is advised to wear only slim young ladies in such an average-length strip or floor. If a plain dress has several horizontally arranged strips on the chest, this will visually add volume to the bust, and the placement of such strips on the hips will emphasize the sporty figure.

Both wide and thin stripes, which are located vertically on the dress, help to hide excess weight and add a slim figure. An outfit in which contrasting colors were used is particularly effective in such tasks.

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

This color combination is considered one of the most traditional, so dresses with black and white stripes are very diverse. Among them there are long models in the floor of knitwear, and short chiffon dresses, and dresses of medium length made of cotton.

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

Such a “marine” combination is often used in modern fashion. A striped dress in these shades will become a stylish outfit for a walk around the resort town or access to the beach. A thin black lacquered belt, as well as accessories in white or blue, will suit him.

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

This color combination also refers to the "marine" style. It looks especially impressive on short dresses. You can achieve a similar combination with an outfit in a blue and white strip, embellishing it with a wide red belt.

If two-tone combinations seem boring to you, nothing can prevent you from choosing an outfit with three or more colors. For example, outfits with stripes of different shades of pink look romantic and gentle. An outfit that combines beige, terracotta, green, blue and brown stripes looks fun and summer-like. No less attractive yellow-red-blue print.

In a striped dress on 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 conceals the shoes, pick up accessories that look attractive to it, for example, an orange or yellow bag and a set of jewelry from a bracelet and necklace.

Striped dresses of medium length can be tight-fitting and complemented with a belt. Such models often lack sleeves, and the cutout on the chest 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 strip are arranged horizontally, although you can choose a model with a diagonal as well as a vertical pattern.

Such striped dresses are most in demand by fashionistas and come with a sleeve (short or long), or without it. They wear models on the straps in the summer, and a striped dress with a mini skirt with long sleeves will be a great option for clothes for the autumn-spring season, if you complement this outfit with a plain coat or a leather jacket.

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

Especially often, a striped print is used to create knitted dresses. They are comfortable to wear in the summer, especially if the top of the model is open (similar to a T-shirt or without straps). However, much more often, knitted striped dresses are designed for the autumn and spring season.They can have different lengths, and are also complemented by a long or shortened sleeve.

Such dresses are usually worn with 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.

Striped knit dresses are especially popular in cool weather. The upper part of such dresses may resemble a sweater. Typically, a knitted striped dress has a sleeve of different lengths, and the length of the dress itself is often average (although knitted dresses with a short skirt are very common). Wearing a striped knitted dress is advised with boots or ankle boots, and accessories for such an outfit are best to choose plain.

Many girls in the body are sure that they should avoid the striped print, as they are used to believing that such a coloring is complete. In fact, refuse to buy a striped dress in the presence of extra pounds is not worth it. Shallow stripes go to full young ladies, but at the same time two-color combinations should be selected.

Do not be afraid of dresses with horizontal stripes, if it is an outfit with a free cut, and the coloring includes not very contrasting shades. Also, an outfit in which a striped print is presented only in some part of it will be a great option for an overweight girl.

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

A variety of accessories will suit a universal striped dress - belts, bracelets, hats, clutches, beads and much more. The outfit in black and white stripes is successfully emphasized by a brown thin strap. In addition, dresses with black and white stripes look good with bright accessories, for example, yellow, blue or red. At the same time, the handbag, jewelry and shoes should be in the same gamut.

To a multi-colored striped dress, on the contrary, choose a plain decoration or accessories without unnecessary decor. As an outerwear with a striped dress, you can wear a leather or denim jacket, jacket, fur vest, cloak or coat. A good option would be to choose an additional item in one of the colors presented in the colors of the dress. If you want something neutral and universal, look at beige or black shoes and a handbag of the same neutral color.

To striped dresses, you can choose sandals with square heels or a stiletto heel, sneakers or wedge sandals, ankle boots, ballet shoes, pumps, sandals or boots.

If the model of the dress is sports, sneakers are ideal for him. For a slim striped mini dress, sandals or pumps are a good choice.
