Colourful stripes make a refreshing change to the perennial spring floral trend. At Marni, stripes featured prominently on dresses, oversized coats and trousers. For the adventurous, designers like Kim Jones for Fendi and Dries van Noten took the trend to the next level with fringe and fur. So, shelve your Breton tops for now, and wear your new stripes in a bigger, bolder and brighter fashion.

Fendi
I like how stripes are now not just worn as a daytime casual look, but also in more evening looks, like at Fendi. It is also a more current print to wear at the beach than florals.
