Is there anything that transcends seasons as seamlessly as stripes?
Stripes – are as good as the humble white shirt – when it comes to going classic or experimental with fashion. Honestly, one could wear stripes for a plethora of occasions without even complaining – be the reason about dearth of time, options, or even mood – a striped top thrown on a classic blue denim would never go wrong. But this is not about doing it the ordinary way, we are in fact adding a unique style verve to your stripe wardrobe. So if you are up for a fashion statement with minimal endeavour and maximum impact, jump on our weekend bandwagon and try these ingenious ways of pulling off the stripe trend that will make you look like you have just walked out of the opulent stratosphere. Be it any kind of stripes, thick or thin, circular or straight, vintage or Breton – here we tell (rather show) you how to get creative with this ubiquitous trend.
Striped bag in unique silhouette
While we are talking about the unique ways to remake this cult trend, let’s do it by making the stripes the key accessory instead of making it your outfit canvas. Think of a unique striped-bag blush in monochrome or colourful hue on a tonal outfit, isn't it catchy enough to transform your outfit from okay to woah-kay? We loved Emily Levine's knotted dumpling tote which comes with a bamboo handle and hand-tied knot detailing of the bag exude nothing but your unique taste in fashion. Needless to say, the texture of hand-carved wood paired with lush silk fabric in natural dye talks style class apart.

IFM Recommends: To get the desired look we suggest Altuzarra's one sleeve ribbed knit top with Givenchy's black flared woolen pants and you can further glam up the look with Fendi's brown fur strap heels.
Regular style of horizontal or vertical striped shirt has been done and dusted, what’s new is the deconstructed shirt that masters art and ease alike. With base tonal stripes, asymmetrical hem, checkered and striped patchwork, and deconstructed design, this oversized shirt by Loewe gets as fashionable as it can. Pair it with shorts or skin-hugging jeggings and its relaxed silhouette with oversized fit will turn out as the best option if you’re up for a brunch or shopping plan with your posse. Brownie point to the inadvertent airport look vibe of the shirt!

IFM Recommends: Pair it up with Re/Done's ankle-length blue skinny jeans and Balenciaga's triple coloured mesh sneakers that will undoubtedly complement your shirt.
Midi dress with waist cinched belts is a passé, how about a unique waist-hugging midi dress? That too in monochrome! Made in England, this striped cotton midi dress by Wright Le Chapelain is here to widen your midi dress collection. The white-blue long stripes with a sash around the waist will effortlessly encapsulate the right amount of glamour and elegance in your wardrobe. Also, a special mention for that carefree fit and button-down silhouette of the dress, apt for a good shopping stroll with your girlfriends.

IFM Recommends: Pair the dress with The Row's chic white leather sandals and Maria Black's shoulder-length earrings to take the look from casual to chic.
The verve of stripe without even being one for real, thinking how? Consider Phillip Lim's woven leather mules to do the honours. Basically, it is the leather piping design on the foot which creates a delusion for stripes when worn. This delusional stripe hack gets even more enhanced if you pair it with one more striped element in your outfit. Be it the pants, top wear, or bag!

IFM Recommends: Glam up your delusional take by transforming it into a party animal’s look by teaming it up with Nicholas' earthy brown crop top, Re/Done's mini leather skirt, and Loeffler Randall shoulder bag with zebra print (for that striped counterpart we talked above).
Keep the ordinary vertical stripes and checkered blazers for work days because weekend is about dressing up differently. We liked this cotton-woolen blend double-breasted blazer by Alessandra Rich which strikes the perfect balance between elegance and glamour owing to its rich, sophisticated colour palette with the subtle touch of glitter. Although it is as good for a special day at work!

IFM Recommends: Get a complete look by adding Semi couture’s white wide-leg trousers in your cart and enhance the charm of this Italian blazer by pairing it with Gucci's white high heels!
