Stripes … that sparkle!

At this time of year it’s easy to overlook stripes in favour of full-on sparkle, glitter and anything else that is sure to dazzle. Stripes are usually our ‘go to’ pieces … fail-safe, classic and extremely easy to work into our existing wardrobe.

The bretons and stripes we already own can be easily dressed up with sparkly accessories but when you start to look around you’ll find that in amongst the sequins and glitter on the highstreet there are stripes out there that twinkle all by themselves. Not in an overtly full-on sparkly way but more of a subtle look – just enough to feel festive! In fact the beauty of these pieces is their understated sparkle that means they’re not just here for Christmas!

So maybe whilst shopping for velvet dresses, sequin skirts or sparkly accessories spare a little time for the good old stripes ….
