Summer is almost here. And we bring you 5 amazing ways you can style your stipe t-shirt this summer. 

As we recommend in our capsule wardrobe guide that you should have at least one cool stripped t shirt in your wardrobe. It's your best summer companion.

The best part about stripped t shirt is that it can be paired up with almost anything in your wardrobe. You can easily dress down your stripped t shirt with a cool pair of ripped denim & white sneakers or wear it with a cool chinos and blazer to dress up. 

With this guide, we are aiming to show how to style one of the trickiest kinds of tees. Striped tees have always been a major hit, and it is not difficult to imagine why – they are trendy, they have a pattern without going too overboard with it, they are charming in a quaint and laid-back way.

But all of this applies more often to tees with vertical stripes. Horizontal stripes, on the other hand, are a whole different ball game. In fact, you would not see a lot of men going for tees with horizontal stripes, and there is good reason behind that choice.

Horizontal stripes can create a fairly tricky optical illusion that makes you look broader than what you are. So if you have a horizontally striped tee in your wardrobe, you would have to be particularly smart about styling it.

There are a few things you can do to avoid the problems that a horizontally striped tee can create.

The first, and most important thing to learn about styling them is how to use their colors to balance off the optical illusion. Read our guide to figure out how you can make horizontal tees work

To help you rock your stripe t shirt with easy, we've rounded up 5 cool looks for you.

5 Ways To Wear Stripe T-shirt

5. Stripe t-shirt with a cargo shorts.

This first look works great with tees that have bold stripes in a paler color. If you have a tee that has stripes like this one, where the pale stripes are slightly broader than the darker stripes like the blue ones here, chances are that the tee has an organic, nautical vibe to it.

You can play off that laidback vibe, and add a pair of sporty green shorts to it, to really bring out the stripes of the tee, but also limiting the impact of the stripes by going for shorts in a snugger fit.

These shorts are practical, versatile and functional. Finish the look with a pair of white sneakers and some dark shades.

4. Stripe t-shirt with a navy chinos

For this next look, we are going to try our hand at something more formal. This tee has both the darker and paler stripes, but in this case – the darker stripe is broader than the paler one, which adds a hint of formality to it, without being too overwhelming.

One of the best ways to complement such tees is going for a pair of darker, snugger trousers that take off the optical illusion by their flattering silhouette.

Finish the look with a classic watch, and a pair of white sneakers. Keep the rest of the look neat and minimalistic.

3. Stripe t-shirt with a indigo denim and army green over shirt

You can also try some color blocking with a horizontally striped tee.

This is a way of drawing a part of the attention towards the stripes, while also balancing it off with the overshirt, just like the white and black tee and the green overshirt in this case.

The colours complement each other quite nicely, and the shirt takes away the impact of the optical illusion, adding a neatness to the look. Finish the look with a pair of dark trousers and some black shoes.

2. Stripe t-shirt with a ripped blue jeans

For those of you who would want to bring out the beauty of the stripes – this look can be a great instance of how to style an outfit with the horizontal stripes as the central piece.

The beauty of this outfit is in its simplicity. While it has a minimal number of elements, a tee with narrow black stripes, a pair of ripped denims, white sneakers and a belt chain, it also is balancing the tee with the snug fit of the denims, giving the look more structure.

1. Stripe t-shirt with dark blue jeans and blue jeans over shirt.

The other great way to style a tee with stripes that are quite bold, is to add two elements that can share the attention.

In this case, the navy blue shirt, that acts as a shirt jacket, helps add a moodier tone to the whole look while keeping the upper half of it elegant. The denims are, of course, a staple.

The other thing that draws the attention here, are the cherry red shoes. The color adds such a bold but understated dash of contrast to the look that it immediately makes it more fashionable, while also adding a fun element to the outfit.
