I was recently pondering what I wear the most during the summer in an effort to figure out what my wardrobe was missing, and it occurred to me that I reach for striped shirts more often than not this time of year. It goes without saying that they work with everything and are an easy way to elevate a casual outfit. I'm talking about summer right now, but they're a year-round basic, especially since they can take the form of a T-shirt, a tank, a long-sleeve tee, or a button-down.
Coincidentally, there have been many striped-shirt outfits that have stood out to me during my Instagram scrolls as of late, proving that they are indeed an easy avenue to a chic summer wardrobe. The aforementioned outfits I scrolled through were worn by women around the world, proving that they're a universal basic.
