"I love to wear this trend because I can experiment with a lot of different looks with it. I can go from marine to feminine to rocker, it is all possible and I love that!
I'm not the kind of person who wears stripes on a regular basis. We all know that it tends to make you look wider. But then again fashion is all about creating outfits that work for you and what you like, not what other like to see.
I brought some softness by adding my current favorite jacket and some tough attitude with the leather pants." Meda

"I think that stripes as a trend is really unique, because no matter if it's a trend or not, people wear them. They don't do that just because it's modern, they wear it because they like it.

"I love my skirt. I spent a while looking for a maxi skirt like this until I finally gave up, I knew I was not going to find what I was looking for. So I thought 'what about making it myself?' I got down to work and voila: My own maxi skirt with stripes!" Tatoom
"I’m a short person so vertical stripes add me few more centimeters. Stripes appears also on ZARA’s wedges. Shoes are my favorite part of wardrobe especially if they are massive. Everyone says that I have hoofs on feet, but this is how I like it to be. Also the combination of high wedges with jacket (both on stripes) with maxi dress allowed me to be a little higher person than I really am (155cm)." Agnieska
