Striped trend

The bars go out of fashion ever since in the 20s of the last century, when they - along with dresses in jersey - brought into fashion by Coco Chanel inspired striped "overalls" Mediterranean sailors. However, the strips have experienced periods of decline and recovery - for example, in the eighties, they were a hit, along with the jacket with padded shoulders tight line, a mini-dresses and tunics with leggings.

Now, in the wake of the third season to keep the nostalgia for the 80's, strips   back in all its beauty and diversity. Steel striped bags, sandals, scarves, ties, jackets, vests and dresses.

Adored by young people and the spirit of all the young Marc Jacobs, by the way, too, trendsetter, offering a striped sweater, and at Armani   strip thin, discreet, monochrome - aristocratic, in a word, and appears not independently, but only as a part or a part of the ensemble - for example, a light suit with a striped tie or topom.

Dominated in the season, horizontal stripes (traditionally assumed that they are "full", so I have to go figure), but there are vertical lines - eg on bags Fendi, - and the diagonal, as knitted tops from rena Lange or wide "hippovskoy "pants-skirt by Missoni Promises to be the hit of the season.
