Somebody please explain to me how designers from labels as varied as Marc Jacobs, Acne, Chloe, Vivienne Westwood and Dior decide to spontaneously combust into stripes this SS/13?

Personally, I'm in favour of the Twiggy-jailbird look MJ devised but I love Dior's take on it (shown above) too with a mix of stripes and more importantly, the colour pink. Funnily enough, despite the overwhelming amount of stripes shown, there weren't that many going for the sailor nautical striped look. Clearly there's some sort of fashion conspiracy going on out there!

Fortunately for us, stripes is one of those safe trends that always comes back. Meaning that either you have a couple on-trend pieces lurking in your closet OR if you do buy stripes this season, theres a 90% chance you'll be able to wear it again 3 years from now.

Onwards >> HOW TO WEAR STRIPES!

FOR THE BOLD: Just like Dior, be adventurous in mixing and matching different stripes. And they don't have to all be the same style - change up the colours and you're guaranteed to be a fashion looker.

FOR THE BRAVE: Don't be afraid to wear horizontal stripes! Cutting and fit matter way more than just a line parallel to the floor.

FOR THE SAFE: Play it safe with black and white stripes. Just make sure you don't end up looking like a zebra or worse, an escaped prison convict!
