Fourth of July Style: All the Right Stripes

Love them or on the fence about them, vertical stripes are one of the top patterns for the season. Vivienne Westwood, Timo Weiland, and Marc Jacobs are just a few of the major designers who've incorporated the bold print into everything from tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories. The best part about this trend? Vertical stripes elongate your shape and draw the eye upward creating heighth, which most of us wouldn't be opposed to. With Fourth of July just around the corner, stars and stripes are the name of the game; the perfect opportunity to try the trend in red, white and blue!
