You know when they tell you never to wear anything with horizontal stripes? Well we’re like, whatever.

Stripes can show off patterns and colours beautifully and it’s as classic as they come. After all, it’s not just the pattern of your outfit that shapes your form, it’s also the cut. That’s why stripes can be as flattering as any other pattern – when it’s used the right way.

Don’t believe us? We’ve picked ten dresses which we think you’ll simply fall in love with.

Tell if you’re not impressed but we say power to the stripe.
