If there’s one pattern that’s forever and universally loved, it has to be stripes. They work on many different garments and materials and can transform plain outfits like nothing else. Women on Instagram know this very well so they often pick striped shirts and dresses for their photos.
There’s a history behind the striped shirts as we know them today. They first appeared in 1858 and were meant for men; more specifically, they were a part of the French Navy uniform. It wasn’t long before Coco Chanel recognized the potential of stripes and we soon saw them on fashion icons like Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn.
If you want a truly chic outfit that has a unique Parisienne vibe, wear a striped shirt with plain blue jeans and a few dainty jewelry pieces, such as thin necklaces or simple rings.
