Stripes are taking over: How to style the biggest print trend of the season

Designers went wild for stripes on the spring/summer 2022 catwalks, with everything from monochrome to multicoloured – in understated pinstriped shirts and bold, disco-tastic gowns.

With summer in full swing, now’s the perfect time to try the trend, whether you’re looking for holiday gear, weekend outfits or the perfect party dress.

Here’s how to work stripes into your summer wardrobe…

As seen at Wales Bonner and JW Anderson, nautical navy and white stripes never go out of style.

Oliver Bonas Mono Stripe Ivory Knitted Top, £39.50

The coastal inspiration continues with deckchair-style vertical stripes. Flowing frocks made a statement at Schiaparelli and Tory Burch, while stripey separates were layered together at Jil Sander and Kenneth Ize.

Crew Clothing Red Pink Stripe Sundress, £69

Albaray Linen Stripe Dress, £75 (was £130)

Always a classy combination, black and white stripes were seen on everything from sassy minidresses (Balmain and Courreges) to sweeping gowns (Erdem and Tory Burch).

Karen Millen Compact Stretch Stripe Detail Pencil Midi Dress, £117 (was £195)

Taking the retro route for SS22, models at Fendi, Brandon Maxwell and Jil Sander sashayed down the runway in bright, showstopping gowns.

The coolest way to do occasionwear this summer, a striped maxi dress in punchy or pastel hues is a winner for weddings and garden parties.
