Why are stripes having such a moment right now? As one of the biggest style trends of 2026, they're splashed across beachside umbrellas, draped along al fresco dining tables, and making their way down runways in fresh, unexpected forms. The stripe has become the unofficial motif of Summer 2026, embodying everything we're craving: carefree joy, individuality, and a sense of nostalgia for a beautifully curated, well-lived summer.
And yet, stripes remain remarkably timeless. They bring to mind windswept days along the coast, glamorous afternoons on the French Riviera, and beloved wardrobe staples that only get better with age. This season's interpretation feels especially relevant, thanks to saturated color pairings, playful proportions, and a renewed appetite for statement dressing. Refined minimalism may still have its place, but the art of bold, maximalist dressing is firmly back on the mood board.

How We're Styling Stripes
This season, we're embracing a more-is-more approach. Try layering stripes of different scales, mixing colors and textures for a look that feels delightfully unexpected rather than overly coordinated.
For something timeless, pair our iconic French Stripe with your favorite California Vintage Denim or Italian Dream™ Denim and a chic pair of flats. There's a reason this formula never goes out of style.
And when summer reaches its peak, nothing feels quite as effortless as a striped button-up worn with breezy linen shorts and sun-faded denim. Easy, unfussy, and endlessly chic.
