How to style a striped shirt? No wardrobe is complete without the classic button-down. This season, the simple stripe shirt has been in the collections of all your favourite designers. Not only are stripe shirts office appropriate, they are also perfect for pairing with other oversized pieces for the ultimate ‘cool-girl’ look. We’ve put together our top tips on styling some of our favourite pinstripe pieces, take a look at these wardrobe heroes and invest in the basics missing from your wardrobe.

Transitional dressing

That spring/summer sunshine is starting to appear on the horizon but an icy February chill is still in the air, so learning to adapt your wardrobe and styling for that awkward in between season is the key to mastering your style. The great thing about shirts is they are amazing layering pieces, which means this is a great opportunity to pair together two huge trends in one look. Styling a striped shirt with an oversized, tonal sweater-vest creates a laid back outfit that keeps in the heat. Paired with your everyday denim and trainers, with gold accessories and a slouchy tote bag, a striped shirt and sweater vest combo is the stylish Scandi girl’s transitional uniform.

Office look

There is nothing more office wear appropriate than a button up shirt. Update your collection of button ups and throw a pattern in to the mix that is perfect for the committed minimalist to step out their comfort zone…but not too much. Styled with a matching suit trouser and blazer set, the striped shirt adds a touch of trendy to a classic look. To complete the office wear outfit, throw on a pair of chunky earrings to make a statement, and that all important tote to fit everything you need for a stylish day at work.

The matching set

Perhaps one of the easiest trends of the season to style is the matching set. Perfect for a warm summer’s day or a put-together holiday outfit, this casual look is easy to style with trainers or sandals. Compliment with a beach bag and sunglasses for a chic touch. This look can be taken from day to night with a simple switch of the shoe, opt for a heel instead of a sandal and you immediately have summer occasion-wear outfit that is a flawless choice for the ladies who prefer wearing trousers to dresses.

Linen

One of our favourite ways to style a striped shirt is to pair it with a relaxed fit pair of trousers. Especially for summer, a pair of linen trousers are the ultimate go-to for a beachy look. This outfit is perfect for a hot summer’s day or as an easy throw-on piece for a casual evening look on your next vacation. Teamed with a pair of chunky Birkenstocks, a tote bag and sunglasses, this styling tip is a great way to incorporate classic pieces from your existing wardrobe and give them a 2023 refresh.
