Men in stripes are men in trend and vertical stripes for men are the one trend that never went out of style. We’ve got some tips on how to wear them the right way.  But here’s the big question. Horizontal or vertical? We kind of love both! Vertical stripes for men are great for the simple reason that they create the illusion of elongation, thus helping you look leaner and taller. And horizontal stripes have always had a bad name in the fashion police dictionary for being too unflattering, adding weight, making people look wider than they are. But those are leftovers of an age and fashion when people were not big on experimentation and there’s no reason you should miss out on the stripes on stripe fashion. Layers, colour blocking, there’s tons of ways to wear stripes for men! So here are some awesome ways to incorporate stripes into your looks!

The Big and The Bold

Wide, bold striped shirt styles are a 2020 special and we love how they make a simple short sleeved shirt something so urban and extra. Wear the shirt unbuttoned with a white t-shirt underneath and wear dark blue shorts  that match the colours of the shirt. Finish the look with some casual strapped sandals for an easy breezy casual day look!

Pinstriped Right Left and Center

Think of pinstripes and the first thing you’ll see is men in stripes in black and white suits, parading around the office. Well, that’s not going to be you. Skip the usual and opt for a t-shirt with an asymmetrical pinstripe pattern paired with neutral coloured cotton joggers , white sports shoes and a chunky digital watch. 

In Line

  Vertical stripes for men also help create a uniform, consistent look so choose a trendy striped shirt with bright coloured stripes and wear a plain but fitted black pair of jeans to keep the focus on the shirt. Solid black sneakers to complete the look and either a clean shaven or light stubble jawline  to look extra put together! 

The Subtle Stripe

Stripes for men are an element that can be incorporated in the details of your outfit, such as a mint green polo shirt with monochromatic stripes on the shoulder giving a clean look. Pair it with a pair of chinos and a pair of shoes  that have a striped effect at the sole. Don’t forget the magic a clean jawline and a delicious fragrance can create!

Striped All the Way

Striped shorts are a stylish step away from plain jeans so pair these striped bottoms with a white and blue colour blocked shirt  in horizontal stripes, black leather loafers . We like to call it our Hollywood boat look.

Stripe on Stripe on Stripe

That’s one way to show that you’re really into a trend. Start with a plain white t-shirt  with a higher neckline and layer a striped t-shirt over it so when the white t-shirt peeks through at the neck and arms, it creates another stripe. Wear denim shorts  with multiple washes to create a side taping stripe, add black shoes with white stripes  and to top it off, a black backpack with multicoloured stripes. Now that’s a fashion statement. While we love men in stripes, they need just a tad bit of effort to style to make sure the entire look comes together and that’s exactly what we’ve done.
