Um. Ugly. That was my first thought.

And not flattering for anyone who isn’t tall and super-super-skinny. Why-oh-why do horizontal stripes seem to come back “in” every other season? I tend to avoid them completely, regardless of their trendiness.

Horizontal stripes make you look wider, and I haven’t met many women who are trying to look wider…

i actually like all 3 of the outfits….and the sleeves on the dress are one of my favorite ‘touches’! (they look very “anthropologie to me.) now, i do agree with everyone who said you have to be a certain build/size, etc. to pull them off well. i am not that build, size or weight, so the most i would do is the shirt. i really like the classic “french-nautical” look of a navy and white striped long-sleeve T with a boat neck.

LOL. I was actually expecting more people to defend the stripe. It could be cute, depending on the cut. I usually stay away from stripes b/c of the boobage. @@

Uh oh. I just bought a striped sweater last week. But I got it at Old Navy, so nothing too terrible if it doesn’t work out. (Actually, I’ve worn it already and I kind of like it.)

i wear stripes. i am one of those people who wears things because i like them, no matter what. i am one of those people who happens to love myself no matter how i look. so sue me.

i might not look good, but i am happy. =)

some days stripes make me happy! some days i wear black from head to toe. some days i don’t get out of my pj’s. whatever makes me happy!

My first thought is “aren’t horizontal stripes a MAJOR no-no?!” I won’t be wearing any of the above… but that’s just me.

UGH. That’s all I can say! The only thing ickier than stripes is black-and-white stripes. I will say, however, that silly outfits like that in public do give the rest of us something to giggle at

I have always LOVED stripes, but unfortunately I can’t pull them off. I am short and squat, so they certainly don’t do me any justice.
