Striped tops are a chic alternative to your graphic shirts and tank tops. Even though you wear distressed denim jeans or denim overalls, black-and-white stripes will add some polish to your outfit. To channel some nautical vibe to your outfits, go for red-and-white stripes, as well as blue-and-white stripes instead of black and white stripes that look too classy for a casual street style. For a more playful vibe, think of a rainbow striped top to wear with your jeans and sneakers like Chiara Ferragni did, making the rainbow stripes look grown-up and mature than a childlike look.

Since stripes are considered as neutral prints, you may wear it with other prints like floral, checks, abstract, polka dots and such without looking flashy on your street style. The key is to wear your stripes with a similar or dissimilar color of other patterns since stripes are neutral. When doing this, skip those rainbow stripes and tri-color stripes that look so flashy when worn with other prints. Instead, just stick to classic black-and-white stripes that look neutral, classic, and chic.
