The striped tee is a timeless classic that can be whatever vibe you need: a bit of French-inspired femme chic, a sporty nautical moment, or even cutting-edge contemporary. No matter what kind of stripe you’re looking for, we found it! Shop the edit below.
Since we had our white jean edit on Friday, I should mention that white denim is an especially classic pairing with your go-to striped tee. A darker blue or black stripe is fun, like this J.Crew shirt with gold buttons along the shoulder or La Ligne’s fitted black-and-white Meredith tee. Alex Mill’s blue striped tee has a bolder, electric blue color that would be a really fabulous contrast. Or really liven up a pair of khakis!
I especially love a striped tee shirt with a pair of my favorite chinos or trousers. It’s a great way to dress down the pants, and dress up the tee! Everlane’s Breton tee is a perfect candidate for this. The bateau neckline is elegant enough to play with tailoring, and the bold stripes make it feel modern. J.Crew’s perfect fit shirt has an elbow-length sleeve and a slim cut that can be easily tucked in for a more sleek look.
If you’re just kicking around in darker denim, it’s fun to switch up your stripe and go for a more colorful, lighter option. Frame’s sky-blue micro stripe top almost feels like a solid. Madewell’s thicker stripe and boxier cut in a summery butter yellow and white pattern feels like summer.
For a more special version of a striped tee, look no further than this Rails shirt. Note the puffed sleeve, the henley button details, and the warm brown and white stripe. This is the kind of top that takes your outfit from ho-hum to an ensemble.
