If you’re anything like us, striped tops have been a wardrobe mainstay for years. While we’d never mess with the tried-and-true breton stripe, we’re warming to the new kid on the block: the mismatched stripe. A riff on the classic, these pieces boast juxtaposed lines that make you look twice. Thankfully they are just as wearable as the originals, so whether they are adorning an evening-appropriate strapless top, or a pair of cuffed pants, they need only a crisp monochromatic companion and they’re ready to go.
