PRINT OF THE SEASON: HOW TO STYLE STRIPES
By Symone Keisha, 18 July 2025
Let’s face it, prints are having a moment – there’s something about the sun shining that makes patterned pieces the focus of our rotation and we’re not mad about it. So, as your social calendar starts to fill up, focus on the print of the season: summer stripes. A classic for a reason, the pattern transcends trends and eras easily, and right now we’re seeing the print everywhere – from striped trousers to striped shirts. So, whether you're after understated styles or bolder prints, this is the spot to secure them.
STRIPED SHIRTS
If you're looking for a striped-shirt outfit, you're in the right place. Striped shirts are a certified wardrobe staple, and versatile enough to be worn formally or more low-key – these shirts are the perfect example. Crochet knits and a graphic print are ideal for holidays and festival season, whereas classic stripes on a light blue shirt can be worn in the office or off-duty.
TWO-PIECE STRIPED OUTFITS
Arguably, co-ords are the best item of the summer. They're super cool and effortless – throw stripes into the mix and you've got the winning formula for incredible personal style. Whether you choose to wear yours with shorts or trousers, keep the silhouette relaxed and pair it with trending trainers or sandals for summer serves.
STRIPED TROUSERS
Breathe new life into your summer wardrobe with a pair of striped trousers. Take yours in white or lighter tones like summer neutrals or pastels for the ultimate cheat code to relaxed off-duty style, and pair them with a good quality T-shirt or a tank to complete the look. Don't forget to load up on accessories, it's the easiest way to inject some personality into your striped outfits.
STRIPED T-SHIRTS
Everyone knows just how important the role of a T-shirt plays in your summer rotation. It has the strength to stand alone when paired with denim or jorts, but it can also play nice with summer suiting, co-ords and shirts. With that in mind, getting the print right is key. Depending on the colour palette and the silhouette, you can enter nautical territory with a Breton stripe or go streetwear-inspired with a brighter style.
STRIPED SHORTS

Stripes offer the perfect opportunity to take your shorts game up a notch. If you choose to wear yours on your next casual day out, go classic with a blue and white colourway. For holidays, go for a pair of bold striped swimming trunks so they take centre stage.
