Give your wardrobe a sophisticated classic look by wearing stripes for summer. You can never go wrong with vertical or horizontal stripes. It is known to give you the illusion that you are slimmer….Who wouldn’t want that affect, especially for summer.  Hence the Duchess of Sussex Megan Markle sporting a striped button down top at Wimbledon where she watched her close friend Serena Williams take on Angelique Kerber. The classic look brought some brightness and color with the blue hue. Blue is a great alternative to black especially during the summer months. Blue is the new black while stripes creates a chic timeless impression to your outfit.

I was inspired by the stunning Duchess of Sussex. Here is my take on blue and white stripes.

BTW how cute are the bell sleeves on this dress? I kept it simple with a pair of brown thick heeled sandals. This dress shines on its own. I am loving the details of this dress, it has mini surprises every where, showcasing ruffles, an open back, and halter style. Let’s not forget the blue and white stripes to top it off. This dress is great for summer.
