STRIPES never go out of fashion, but thanks to the nautical trend making a reappearance this spring, they are more covetable than ever.
From horizontal chunky stripes to thin colourful vertical lines, there are plenty of wears to pull off the trend.
At Kenzo the humble stripe was updated to include standout colour combinations and accessories were also given the nautical treatment.
Meanwhile, Dolce and Gabbana and JW Anderson also showcased the timeless trend.
While it's still cold, pair your stripes with a cosy pea coat and plain scarf.
The stiff texture of this Topshop dress makes it a perfect choice for an evening event.
Pair with clean lines and white accessories for the most impact.
A shirt dress, like this vertical striped one from New Look, should become a classic wardrobe staple.
At just £24.99, it could be one of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe.
Wear with ribbed tights or layer over a polo neck until the sun begins to shine, and don't forget to pack it in your suitcase for your summer holidays.
A flippy skirt is fun and flirty - so give yourself a fashionable edge and pick a stripey one, like this one from Next.
If you do feel like banishing black and white and going for full-on colour, pick this cute summer dress from Oliver Bonas.
You are guaranteed to feel like you're at sea in the Mediterranean rather than the cold west coast of Scotland.
For another classic number, New Look has a sleeveless top that has a high fashion feel at a high street price.
At £14.99 it won't break the bank and will work paired with jeans for a cool off-duty look.
For a skirt with attitude try this wrap-over style by Joy.
At the higher end of the scale, this pencil skirt by Juicy Couture looks like something Kim Kardashian would love.
Wear with high heels for a chic silhouette.
Don't forget accessories - this cute cross-over bag by Radley is going on our spring/summer wish list.
