All kinds: Awning stripes, pinstripes, rugby stripes, sailor stripes, shadow stripes, candy stripes.
Does this mean that I am a linear thinker?
But its also because stripes are magic.
They command our attention and direct our eyes to wherever they are going.
They can also distract if you want them to.
They have the power to visually minimize or maximize.
They can be racy, regimental or, somehow, reassuring in their regularity.
(I dont love dots.
They are ditsy and dont stand for anything.
Ive drawn a line in the sand.)
When it comes to figure flattery, dont be afraid to give a horizontal stripe a try.
Bear in mind, wide stripes make things appear larger and narrow stripes tend to minimize.
If you are petite or short-waisted, consider them your secret weapon!
Wavy stripes are particularly good atdisguising a round tummy.
One final thing I love about stripes?
They deliver a big bang for your buck, and they never go out of style.
