It’s no fashion revelation that stripes will forever be a classic in every woman’s wardrobe, but this season is the time to turn up the wattage on this go-to print. As evidenced all over the Spring ’16 runways—from dreamy, rainbow pieces at Chloé to primary colored frocks at Stella McCartney—the nautical stripe’s bolder cousin is having all the fun this season. Whether you ease into the trend with a cropped sweater paired with denim, or fully embrace the trend like me, there’s no time like the present to look on the bright side.
