How to Transition The Striped Maxi into Fall

6 comments

Tuesday October 5, 2010 by Hafsa

Striped maxis made their debut on the streets this past summer, and celebrities like J-Lo, Rihanna, Paris Hilton, Gwen Stefani and Khloe Kardashian were quick to pick up on the trend.

We saw stripes in every cut and colour, though simple black & whites proved most versatile.

Forever 21 Striped Sleeveless Maxi ($23.80), Zara Wool Dress with XL Stripes ($69.90), Rachel Pally Santa Monica Midnight White (US$246), Full Tilt Stripe Maxi (US$18.99)

Did you follow suit? Carry this summery look into Fall by adding a belt, scarf or a long necklace to accessorize and to break up the stripes. Throw on some clunky lace-up wedges or boots, and you’ll be a walking representation of the grunge-vintage trend as well!

(clockwise from top left) Forever21 LS Wool Blend Shrug ($23.80), Forever21 Sleeveless Knit Cardigan ($21.80), Forever21 Zipper Leatherette Jacket ($45.80), Guess 'Natalie' Vest ($98), Topshop Double Floral Elastic Belt ($28), Zara Flower Crochet Stole ($45.90), River Island Pink Flower Charm Necklace ($10), Spring ‘Degenhardt’ Wedge Booties ($69.99), Spring ‘Lynch’ Booties ($69.99)

Will you wear the Striped Maxi in Fall?

	on Oct 05, 2010 Ali de Bold said: Though I love the look of the maxi it's hard to pull off for anyone under 5"5 (or over 130lbs). This stripey business presents an additional challenge as it will make you look bigger. Looks great on them, though!
