But, it's a great trend, and I, for one, am super excited that it's coming back around.
I first noticed it with the Valentino 2015 Resort Collection, which brought us pieces like these:

Magic, each and every one.
Of course, Valentino isn't the only line to send brightly striped looks down the runway:

The Balmain, Gucci and Hilfiger looks were less candy-colored than Valentino, but still bold and bright. You can do the multi-stripe trend in pastels or even more muted tones, but I personally prefer them in the brights shown in the 60s, 70s, and today.
Like the trend but not sure how to wear it? Here's some inspiration:

I paired my brightly striped cardigan from Lands' End with a bright skirt because I figure that two brights make a right. But, you don't have to go bright; in the look from Who What Wear, a striped vintage skirt is paired with a leather jacket.
Tiffany, from The Werk! Place, mixes bold and neutral stripes in her outfit, finishing it off with neutral accessories. And Blair Eadie, from Atlantic Pacific, pairs her rainbow striped Gucci sweater with skinny, dark jeans, letting the sweater and her perfect red lip do all the heavy lifting.
So, how about it, Reader Friends? Are you into bold, bright, multi stripes?
Happy Friday, All!
