How to Earn Your Stripes

Gentlemen: if you want to make a fashion statement this season, you better not be sporting the solids. No, way should you be caught out in that plain blue polo shirt you’ve been wearing year after year. You need to earn your stripes.

Yes, that’s right, to accelerate into the ranks of the fashion forward, you need to think beyond the plaid and checks and get on board with stripes. For the guys, this season’s fashion stripes are big and bold blocks of solid color. Striped ties, collared shirts, and even some pants (for the guy who really cares about fashion) are in store fronts everywhere beckoning for you to give them a try.

For a cool, understated look, you can try some skinny stripes. Pair a skinny striped t-shirt under a denim jacket for a casual night on the town. Or, embrace your inner hipster with a striped cardigan sweater or super skinny striped tie.

Want to really kick your style up a notch? Consider a striped blazer. Or, if you are really bold consider an eye-catching striped suit. Pair with a solid shirt underneath just to give our eyes a little rest from all the activity though.

Here’s another incredible feature of stripes, just so happens that stripes pair well with a great pair of eyeglasses. There are three incredibly priced, designer eyeglass frames that demand to be worn with this season’s striped look. Check them out below.

Lucky Brand: Double Stitch

Lucky hits it out of the park with this hot frame that can come in black, tortoise or gray. Pair it with your hair and skintone and you’ll have a hot look with that new striped polo shirt.

Lucky Brand: Stealie

Another win with your hottest fashion apparel this summer is this frame called Stealie. Love the heavy brow look. How smart would this frame be with a seriously cool striped tie?
