Prada, Marc Jacobs, Jil Sander and Celine all featured stripes as part of their collections for Spring/Summer 2011. From bold ones to skinny ones, everything goes this season.
Personally I love stripes but I tend to stick to the more traditional blue and white skinny horizontal kind (although last summer I did break with tradition slightly when I purchased a diagonally bold-striped blue and white maxi dress).
To bring your stripes bang on trend, make like the Spring/Summer ’11 catwalks by mixing and matching vertical against horizontal and combine different colours and shapes.
