I’ve always been a huge fan of stripes. Stripes are a pattern that all body types can wear. This pattern is essential in your wardrobe. It adds dimension and character to your outfit. There are vertical stripes and horizontal stripes. Now, depending on what look you’re going for, vertical creates length (especially if you’re short) and horizontal creates width. The beauty of both is they can come in variety of stripe widths. The thinner the lines the wider the width, horizontally.
At one point I felt like I had no other pattern in my closet besides stripes. Every time I went shopping, I would drawn to pieces of clothing that had stripes and next thing I knew that’s all my closet consisted of.
There are many types of stripes that can be worn, depending on the occasion. From Pinstripe to Breton stripe. I found a fun article that describes the many types of stripes and types of clothing they are typically on.
The Bell Sleeve Maxi Cardigan is vertical stripes that will help elongate your look and add a settle but modern look to your fit. This piece was created because of my love for stripes and the vertical stripes because I am vertically challenged
I was self-conscious of my height throughout my childhood, so this piece plays a huge role in my love for my height and love for vertical stripes. Love yourself. It’s truly so powerful to embrace your looks, whether that’s your height or any other feature. Self-esteem goes a long way, so why not grow (no pun intended ;) ) and thrive to be the best version of you.
