Trend Alert: Striped Tees (Still)
Just when you thought that your striped t-shirt was a 'store for later' item this summer, we realise that the celebs aren't prepared to give up on theirs so why should we. Sure the summer stripe for this year is bolder and more colourful that it was last year, but who can argue with a classic? Take a look at some folks who wore their stripes on their tees this weekend.
Starting with the ultimate classic, Gwyneth Paltrow in Breton stripes, denim cutoffs and Havianas. Make-up free and sun kissed, she has probably never looked more lovely to me. This is such a wonderful relaxed weekend look and you just can't go wrong with it. Well I would replace the cutoffs with some boyfriend jeans but that's just me and my rapidly advancing old age...
But how about Miranda Kerr. Her striped tee is easily obtainable from the racks at Woolies. She has paired hers with a dark denim skinny, a great fedora, a classic Louis Vuitton Speedy bag and those awesome red pumps. The palette is also timeless and the accessorising lifts and ordinary tee to fashionable heights.
And then there is young Vanessa Hudgens. She opted for black and white instead of navy and white, but it works just as well as a weekend look — also going the denim cutoffs and flops route. Vanessa has dolled things up a bit with some necklaces and a great pedicure and lipstick job. Adding in those sunnies for extra oomph, she actually looks more polished than she usually does. Classics rule!
