What to Wear Wednesday: Stripes

clothing for photo session

Spring is right around the corner, and I’m loving Boden’s stripes! I don’t normally think of mixing and matching stripes in my wardrobe…but I will now. This kind of layering is just perfect for your photo session…chic,  hip, modern, and yet classic.

There is an urban legend out there that horizontal stripes make you look larger than you are. If you are concerned about this, stay away from thin stripes and go for a bolder, thicker stripe. Better yet, layer it with a fitted jacket on top. Problem solved.

I’m only talking horizontal stripes here. Vertical stripes are trendy and dated. Much better to stick to the tried and true classic.

You might also want to check out Garnet Hill…does liking that store make me old? I love this retro sailor tee, this long cashmere stripes cardigan, and this scarf. And their photos make me want to travel to exotic places. I can totally picture myself wearing that retro sailor tee in Greece.

You can never go wrong with stripes!
