Spring 2011 has something stored for those of you who are nautically inclined and that is the classic navy and white color palette, worn as dominant stripes.
The style
Note that dominant stripes don’t mean bold stripes. While navy and white stripes are a must for the look the real key to Summer’s take on nautical stripes is that they dominate the outfit. It’s all about drawing attention to the stripes above all else.
While most looks rely on bold stripes, you’ll see that the trend is just as effective when the stripes are thin. Hence for Summer 2011 look for dominant stripes, not necessarily bold ones.
The pieces to wear in 2011
Summer stripes are not just a clothing trend, you can work them into any part of an outfit (just not all at once, please). Stripes can dominate an outfit in everything from hats to killer mini-dresses.
