This summer, one of the easiest looks for work or play is the striped maxi dress. Paired with some wedges and a short-sleeve cardigan for the office, or with gladiators or flip flops, possibly layered with a vest, for the weekend — this is a look that is easy to wear, easy to wash and easy to make look stylish.
1. The best one we found was this monochromatic stripe from Trenery. Priced at R799, it is a bit expensive but the quality will ensure it lasts all season.
2. For those of you who prefer a sleeve, Paige Smith at PURR in Kloof Street Centre is a great option. It is also a more classic navy & white stripe fabric, and retails at a very affordable R570.
3. And finally the bandeau version at Country Road could be worn as a skirt or a dress so you get full value for money. The fabric is high quality and it is a classic breton stripe — all for R349.
