Stripes are a trend that currently appears to be sweeping storefronts and window displays. Only a couple of months ago, it seemed that polka dots were taking over chambray shirts and pants. Trends are changing so quickly! Stripes are tricky because they can, at times, remind people of a referee shirt or a tacky shirt from the 60s. Nevertheless, the stripes trend is back, and it is definitely better then ever. Below are some select picks of the greatest striped pieces on the Internet.
