Stripes is a trend that anyone can wear, contrary to popular belief!  You don't need to be skinny to pull this off, you just need to know how to put the look together.  Obviously vertical stripes are more flattering on bigger ladies, but you can wear horizontal stripes too if it's not the entire outfit!  I loved the nautical stripes look over the summer, and in general this trend can be transitioned into the fall/winter too.  I have a blue & white striped strapless top that I wore in the summer with a light cardigan, and now I wear the same top with a jacket and it looks great!  Layering is key with this look if you don't want to overdo it.  If you're not comfortable with a strapless top, get a tee-shirt and pair it with a great blazer and a skinny belt. Navy & khaki/camel go great together, or a hint of red!  I also have a fitted striped dress that I bought over the summer that I wear with a nude platform pump, a look that I loved!  And don't be afraid to try stripes in bold colors too, you don't have to just try this look in navy & white! So take a look at some of these looks and don't be afraid to give it a try...
