Out of Line
Stripes are getting twisted, draped and generally much less well-behaved.
Stripes have always been reliable. Right now, they’re getting a little less polite. This season’s best versions are twisted, draped, fringed, warped and cut on the bias, turning a familiar print into part of the construction itself rather than simply something laid on top. ESTHÉ’s asymmetric tee pulls the stripe completely off balance, while Carmen Says plays with draping and sharper proportions across its Golden Serenity pants and matching asymmetric top. 3.1 Phillip Lim adds movement with fringe, Celia B pushes things into bolder, more graphic territory, and Laagam keeps the mood relaxed with an oversized camel-striped knit that feels more off-duty than nautical. Elsewhere, Simon Miller and Stine Goya use space-dyed knits, flares and fringe to make stripes feel almost textural, while pieces from Same and others prove the print works just as well in barely-there summer shapes as it does in heavier transitional layers. What makes the current stripe moment interesting is the lack of one fixed formula: some are oversized and graphic, some are narrow and warped, some run diagonally across the body, and some clash widths and directions altogether. The result feels less preppy, less predictable and far more playful than the classic Breton associations we usually default to. The point isn’t that stripes are “back”...they never really left. They’ve just finally stopped behaving like the sensible option.
