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!
