Who doesn't have one of these shirts in their closet? One of the easiest ways to wear them is by combining them with simple jeans, but the possibilities are endless. Wear it under a suit, along with a high-waisted skirt, even if it has another pattern … it goes with everything!

The typical male striped shirts are another good wild card that you cannot miss in your wardrobe. The most common is that they are light blue and white but if you have other colors it does not matter because they look good with any tone. Of course, as they are oversize, better wear them with tight pants.

Do you have a black and white striped garment like the ones on this body? Do like Aneta Milicevic and play it safe by mixing them with more black or dare to wear them with more striking tones such as orange or pink.

We've instantly fallen in love with this vintage-inspired striped skirt. Its mid-length and high waist make it a perfect candidate for taking over your wardrobe in spring and summer. You can do like this blogger and wear it with a plain white t-shirt although if you have one with a message or in colors like green, gray or black you can put it on with it without problem.

Stripes can be inspired by other cultures and still be super easy to match. Monica Anoz mixes those of her skirt, with a white background, with a T-shirt in the same tone although she could well have done it with a blouse or a cropped top. However, what we like the most is the idea of wearing it with checkered print sandals, showing that mixing prints is always a great idea.

The mix of colors of this jumpsuit has conquered us. Given the addition of red, there is no doubt, the accessories should be in one of the three colors of the stripes. Or not? It is an option but also to choose them from the same range. Garnet or gray can make a difference.

The striped suits are a classic. There are a thousand ways, but the ones that take the most this 2018 are going to be those that combine black and white, like Gigi Hadid's. She wears it, instead of the typical white shirt (which would also be a good option) with a black sweater giving it a very interesting touch of style.

Victoria Beckham is one of our stylistic references because she never fails. With this kind of flowing striped dressing gown, she has given us a whole lesson. The garment itself already has blue and candy yellow stripes, but she wears it over a white dress with some pastel pink striped applications. And to finish off the play, she goes and puts on some green salons … perfect!

We have loved this shirt dress with orange stripes, this summer it is the garment that solves all your looks. Ideal for when the weather is good and combining it is as easy as wearing it with metallic accessories, in white or nude.

Model Mariah Strongin knows that stripes can also be a perfect print for the night. That is why we loved her striped dress in the shape of multicolored sequins. She wears it with black accessories and since it is a very night look, we think it is the best option.

If you find a dress that mixes the striped pattern with the floral one like Amelia Windsor's, don't hesitate and get it because they look great. She has combined it with fancy sandals and a white handbag but we also like the idea of wearing it with dark brown or gold leather accessories.

Other very typical stripes are those of pajama prints. Sandra Gago wears them with a slip dress with black lace and is completely right by wearing her accessories in this same tone.

How to combine the striped pattern
- T-shirts . Striped t-shirts are one of the most sought after garments every season. They never go out of style and they can be worn with practically all your wardrobe. One of the most common ways to wear them is with jeans, but the possibilities are endless. It can go under a plain suit, with a pencil skirt, with culotte pants … in short, it matches even with other patterns even if they do not have any tone in common.
- Shirts . Men's-inspired shirts are a classic in striped prints. The most common is that they are thin and colored like blue or even red . In any case, they look good with basic skirts and pants, but if they are oversize, you'd better choose the tighter bottom garments to create a certain balance.
- Dresses . There are many striped dresses. One of our favorites is the shirt but you can also find them with cut outs or vaporous and sequins. The key in these cases is to check if it has too striking colors , if so, opt for accessories in black or metallic tones. If they are rather soft, you can dare to wear them with opposite colors.
- Costumes . Is there a garment more timeless than a striped suit? You can always wear it with a white shirt underneath and even with a printed T-shirt but there is an ideal formula for next fall that is much less seen, that of wearing it with a black turtleneck sweater .
