Classic Striped Pieces That Are 100% Worth the Money

Truth: There is a sizable section of my wardrobe devoted entirely to stripes. I gravitate toward the linear print every time I’m on the hunt for something new, and why wouldn’t I? Stripes are classic, timeless, chic, and look great dressed up or down. They also exude a certain French-girl charm, thanks to Coco Chanel, who originally ascended the humble print (once worn by seamen) to fashion stardom. And let’s be honest, you can never have too many classic striped tees. Spring and summer are the perfect time to don the effortless print, so we’ve rounded up the must-have striped pieces that will last you a lifetime.
Up next are the classic striped tees you’ll wear forever.
