Chic Summer Stripes

Summer style and stripes go together like beaches and sunshine—effortlessly, and always with a dash of coastal charm. From classic navy-and-white Bretons that evoke a St. Tropez getaway to bold, candy-colored seersucker that feels like an instant vacation, stripes bring energy and polish to even the simplest outfit. Whether you’re packing for a long-awaited escape or just want to freshen up your weekday wardrobe, the season’s striped pieces let you lean into nautical nostalgia one day and playful modern color the next. Below, I’ll share the striped finds currently lighting up my cart—plus a quick note on how I’d style each to capture that easy, sun-drenched vibe all season long.
