Trend Alert: Nautical Stripes

It's hard to use the words classic and trendy in the same sentence. But, this trend is just that - classic. The classic navy and white nautical striped t-shirt is popping up everywhere - being seen on celebrities in Hollywood and all the way to the racks of your local mall. This is a sure trend that will carry over from Spring to Summer.

However, some of us are really scared of horizontal stripes - with good reason. Sometimes a horizontal stripe can give the illusion of looking wider. So, if you want to wear a horizontal striped shirt, be sure the stripes are not too thick and wide. This will help minimize broadness. Also, be sure the top isn't too long - you certainly don't want to put horizontal stripes across your hips and butt.

So for those of you that don't like getting too trendy, here's a great way to embrace a trend but stick to your classic style.
