I love a good juxtaposition. It adds interest to life and makes the subject matter all the more compelling. In fashion, one of my favorite combinations is pairing a nice floral print with a classic stripe. I love the contrast of sweet, feminine flowers with bold, steady stripes. It really makes for an lovely and stylish outfit. It’s such a striking combination that you will likely be hearing compliments where ever you go.
Here are a few tips to really take your Floral and Stripe outfit to the next level.
STRIPED TEE FLORAL SKIRT
This is by far my most trusted floral and stripe combo and it looks good every time. A simple black and white or blue and white striped tee is a wardrobe staple in my opinion. Take it to the next level by pairing it with a soft floral skirt. Pencil skirts, ruffled asymmetrical skirts, even A-line skirts work well in this formula.
For a more corporate look, switch out the striped tee for a crisp, striped button-up shirt tucked neatly into a floral pencil skirt. Finish the look with pointed toe pumps to polish things off.
COLOR YOUR LIPS
I’ve been wearing this floral-on-stripe combo for many years and it always looks best paired with a bold lip. I’m not a huge lipstick person, and I certainly don’t wear it every day, but this bold look deserves an equally eye-catching lip in red or pink.
DIP YOUR TOE IN
To try a more restrained version of this combo, look for a swingy top that features both stripes and florals on it and pair it with solid jeans or pants.
