The truth is, I love stripes. I think there is something amazingly timeless about them. They look good in any fashion period. I hope I'm not being too presumptuous in saying that after much consideration, I think that I am the stripy type. Or I at least strive to be.

| Olivia Wilde, always stunning! |
 |
| Wow! |
 |
| Again, I'm not a huge Katy Perry fan, but I do enjoy some of her fashion choices! |
So, here are some great stripy examples, starting with some wonderful modern looks, and going backward through time. I hope you are as much a fan of the stripe as I am!
 |
| I am in love with this Spring 2013 Marc Jacobs line! |
  |
| I am especially fond of Zoe Saldana's and Chole Moretz's pictured in the middle! |
 |
| Very 80's! I'm sure many of you are cringing right now! |
 |
| Only Blondie can wrap herself up with red tape and look awesome! |
 |
| I'm not sure if this would be more 70's or 80's, but I love it either way. I know where I got my love of rainbows. |
 |
| I never really thought about it until now, but the whole modern "chevron" love totally comes from the 70's. |
 |
| Could you die at the sheer awesomeness of these outfits? I would seriously contemplate wearing the striped one. Of course, if I did wear it, I would have to stay at home all day. |
 |
| Can you believe this is 70's Twiggy? Look how gorgeous she is, and I also love the outfit! |
 |
| Back to back stripy Twiggy. This one from the 60's. |
 |
| Marilyn in stripes. |
 |
| I am totally in love with this yellow, 50's number! |
 |
| Audrey with stripes and a sandwich and a crazy bed spread in the background. |
 |
| More chevron stripes from the 50's this time. I want this sweater! |
 |
| This is Anne St Marie, a famous model from the 50's. This outfit is crazy beautiful! |
 |
| Bette Davis looking fabulous! |
 |
| I think this is my favorite from the whole post! I love the effect that the striped ruffle gives in contrast to the rest of the striped dress. Myrna Loy does it again! |
 |
| This close up of Carole Lombard is amazing! |
 |
| The only good thing to come out of the movie Titanic was the costuming. This was the best outfit of the bunch! I am assuming they made an almost exact copy of this original pictured here. So stunning! I love this period in fashion! |
 |
| Helena Bonham Carter in Sweeney Todd. Such wonderful costuming! Such a jolly and bloody movie! |
 |
| 1870's |
 |
| 1867 |
 |
| 1860's detailing |
 |
| I love the flower/stripe patter on this dress from the 1860's! |
 |
| Ruffles and bows! 1850's |
 |
| The detailing on this dress from the 1820's is breathtaking! |
 |
| From roughly 1800, this costume on Christina Ricci from Sleepy Hollow is amazing!!! |
 |
| 1780's |
 |
| 1780's |
Moochie, you've outdone yourself this time. There are so many of these I would love to have. Imagine being able to dress this way (even the 60's and 50's) and look and feel like a woman. Gratefully, I remember some of this from my own days. I feel sorry for the woman of today -- myself included!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I am not a striped person. I don't think I own one striped piece of clothing. Oh, wait. I just looked and I have two. I get frustrated that these days the stripes all seem to be horizontal which are not flattering on me. These striped examples are great though.
