Timeless Fashion Looks: Stripes

By Elma B.

As you know by now, I am a big fan of timeless fashion--the style that no matter what the decade, you can sport the look and always seem chic and debonair. One such pattern that has caught my eye are the stripes--from the cultural icons like James Dean in the '50s and Brigitte Bardot in the beaches of the French Riviera in the '60s to 2015, stripes have withstood the test of time. 

There are countless ways to style stripes; my personal favorite is with red or orange but for this look (see below).

I choose to keep the entire ensemble classic, black and white. To add a bit of a '70s flare, I added chunky peep-toe booties by Viktor and Rolf. There you have it fashionistas, a timeless look you can never go wrong with--stripes.  (Outfit details: vest from BCBG Max Azria; striped dress from Zara; bag, Chanel, and peep-toe booties by Viktor and Rolf.)
