Striped!

I must admit that busy has been my response for days now...bus a busy succession of quick nothings!! Went home after months..loved it :) caught an infection the moment i came back to the food here..arghh!! And finally the weekend we all wait for...have so much to post...and i assure it will be some great stuff ;).

This post is dedicated to stripes!! They are a rage this season..just visited Vero moda and saw amazingly cute dresses and tops in stripes..but mostly horizontal!! Now usually its said that don't go on board with horizontal stripes if you have a heavy, fuller body...i don't deny that! But there always lies a trick...keep reading to learn how to tame the horizontal stripes into a style that suits you!!

1)  Now if you're tall and slender..any kind of stripes will suit you..be it narrow, medium or broad! Pick up a tee , a polo or a shirt in stripes and you're good to go. I adore this black-white-orange sheath dress in stripes at Vero moda, wear it solo or pair with a nice lace shrug or waistcoat for that uber chic look!

2)  And if you have a top heavy body..you can still sport that nasty horizontal stripe without looking awkward. Make sure you opt for narrow to medium width stripes. Invest in dark or brighter colors and say a big no-no to light shades plus the neck should either be a V-neck or deep round neck. Pair it up with dark solid colored denims, trousers or shorts to balance the look. If you have those stubborn love handles, then get a top that is loose from the waist and reaches the mid of your hip, try Chemistry for casual tee in stripes, it's longer from the back and has a stylish baggy silhouette.

3) For heavy bottom body, highlight your slim torso with a nice fitted striped tee,polo or a dress with solid color below the waist and stripes only above it. You can wear stripes of any width but choose brighter vibrant colors that will draw attention to your torso. Pair up a nicely fitted striped boat neck top or tee with a pair of dark ankle length trousers, an a-line or pleated knee length skirt or shorts that fits you perfectly on your waist and hips to balance out the proportion of your body.

P.S: A must have in your wardrobe this season is the striped linen jacket and the lace shoulder striped top from Zara.
