The Right Stripes: Here’s a Dress Trend That Works For All Occasions by Aemilia Madden

By most fashion insiders’ standards, stripes are a neutral. This simple print—laid out vertically or horizontally, thin or chunky—tends to play well with other zanier options. But, this summer, don’t relegate stripes to a supporting role. The best striped dresses of the season offer plenty of evidence that wrapping yourself in all kinds of lines can be tailored to work for whatever occasion you may have coming up. 

The key to pulling off all-over stripes is to get strategic about exactly what you’re dressing for. A celebratory summer party calls for a thick rainbow or zany contrasting stripes (like JW Anderson’s diagonal designs). For the office, you’ll want something a bit more pared-back, like a Prada shirt dress in a simple green and white stripe that feels both professional and creative. Ahead, shop Vogue’s edit of the best striped dresses that deftly toe the fine line between trendy and forever pieces.
