How To Style A Striped Shirt

Petite

Styling tip: To elongate your body, pair a slightly cropped pant with minimalist nude heels.

Curvy

Styling tip: Opt for an A-line skirt to accentuate the waistline and balance out the stripes. Finish off with a neutral pointed-toe pump to lengthen the legs.

Tall

Styling tip: Complement your long limbs by donning wide-leg trousers and pointed-toe booties. Top it off with a double-breasted blazer with gold buttons that is both professional and elevated.
