~ Keep the stripes in proportion. If you are petite, a sweater dress
with knee-to-neck wide horizontal stripes is probably not the best
choice -- stick with a striped top (though a taller girl could
definitely go for the sweater dress here).
If you are a curvier girl, you might want to pass over the wide stripes
and go for some thin ones, and keep the colors a little darker.
~ Make sure the rest of the outfit includes slimming vertical lines for
balance. Pair a cute striped top with dark, straight-leg denim and a
tailored, close-fitting jacket. If you are brave enough to go with a
long striped piece, we like how this cardigan from
Twelve by Twelve has vertical stripes on the sleeve to keep things
leaner -- or try a top that mixes stripe direction to break up the
lines, like this one from Charlotte Russe, for $19.99. or this plus sized option from Macy's, on sale for $29.99.
