Striped street style looks seem to be everywhere at the moment. From the classic Breton to bold and bright coloured stripes, fashionistas the world over are loving all things striped. Stripes are a classic pattern and can be interpreted in so many different ways. Keep things classic with a striped top and skinny jeans or go a bit crazy and mix up your prints. Take a look at these stylish striped street style looks.
1 Cool and Casual Striped Skirt
Striped street style looks can come in all different forms. Here, Martha Hunt is snapped by Phil Oh for Vogue wearing a bold striped skirt. She toughens up the prim and proper full skirt by teaming it with a cropped tank top and black ankle boots. If you’re not too keen on crop tops you can always recreate this outfit by wearing a tank top tucked into the skirt instead.

Martha's ensemble perfectly balances effortless chic with a hint of edginess, suitable for a variety of occasions from brunch to a casual evening out. To channel a more professional or sophisticated air, consider swapping the ankle boots for a pair of strappy heels and adding a blazer. Accessorize with statement jewelry or a bold clutch to inject a bit of personality into the look. The versatility of the striped skirt means endless possibilities - play around with different textures and layers to make the outfit uniquely yours.
