Put your hand up if you’re reading this on a Saturday. Hi! OK, so: are you wearing a striped shirt? If the answer is yes, then please give yourself a round of applause because you are winning this fashion game. Not only have you cottoned on to striped shirts being cool right now, you have also correctly identified where they fit best into your wardrobe. Which is at the weekend.
On a Saturday morning, a boldly striped shirt does the job a Breton top did a few years ago. You can put it on with no fuss, with jeans and trainers and hoop earrings. Or maybe a skirt and boots and a blazer. It’s easy, no drama, and you feel completely comfortable but confident. I don’t know about you, but on a weekend morning it’s not just laziness that keeps me from making a big effort. I positively relish keeping it low key because getting dressed up gets my adrenaline going, when I really want to chill out. On the other hand, I also want to feel that if I bump into someone chic in the cinnamon bun queue I’m not going to need to hide.
