Style Verdict: Bold Black & White Stripes

Sienna in Calvin Klein, Gwen in L.A.M.B., Thandie in Giles Deacon

I have to say that I'm not completely averse to this trend as I actually have a knit top with the exact same bold black and white stripe. Never mind the fact that my husband informed me that I looked like I was headed off to the "big house" when I wore it for the first time, lol! But the difference between a small strappy top and a whole dress made in this bold black and white stripe is pretty significant IMO. Or maybe I'm just trying to justify my own bold-striped top. I don't know... it's just something about seeing this much of it on these dresses that looks a little bit busy and kind of over the top to me. But what do you think? Do you love it? Hate it? Don't care? Would you wear it? I wanna know your style verdict.

i think that you just have to be careful the way you wear a striped dress. one like gwen stefanis defanitely wouldnt look good on the average person. but one like sienna miller which is a little softer might be more practical.

I really like Sienna's. I think the one shoulder added to the diagonal stripe print on the other two make it all seem a little too costumey for me.

I like. But I don't think everyone/anyone can pull this look off.

IMO, Gwen looks GREAT. I really heart that look on her.

I'm not crazy about the puffy shoulder on Thandi, but other than that, I LOVE the cut of the dress (would've looked better w/2 wide shoulder straps).

I'm not feeling Sienna's dress at all, it looks like a Dept Store flop. It just looks messy to me. Maybe it's her hair distracting me.

Overall, I like bold stripes, but not on everyone.

I like Sienna's look, but that's it. Mostly, I don't mind stripes when they're casually worn and definitely NOT in an evening dress. Sienna gets a pass though, it's awight.

I don't think you can have it too baggy or saggy. That just makes me saddy :'[.

Stripes look good on a thin frame, like Gwen Stefanis'.
But the poofy && slouchy stripes, like on the other girls, just looks unappealing.
But stripes can also look good in bright colors for a more happier tone. Or they can be striped shirts or hoodies paired with skinny jeans for a more rock esque look.
