Everywhere I look there is stripes! Just been into harborough and everywhere I look there it is, in shops, people wearing it.I thought stripes were supposed to make people look bigger?

I don't get threads like this. Why do you CARE? Honestly, why?!

Me too. Love stripes they accentuate the tiny waist I have worked very hard at.

70% of ds wardrobe is stripy, I love them!
Don't wear them myself but love them on small people.

Agree with pinkparker. May I add I am also mystified as to why people have such an abhorrence for Crocs and Uggs and go on about that.

Try being pregnant. Pregnant women are only allowed two fabrics: Stripes, or inexplicably, maroon.

I'll take stripes out of that choice, please.

I prefer spots. When I met DP he had cups and some had spots on and some had stripes, and I swear tea tasted better from the spotty ones.

Everyone knows that vertical stripes are more flattering than horizontal ones...so why are clothes for fat women only made with horizontal stripes, hmm, hmm?

It is an evil conspiracy. I tell you!

Its true about pregnancy stripes!! I was kept overnight in hospital last month and wore a stripy top the first day and obviously a very similar stripy top the next day and the midwife was very concerned that no one had come from home with a change of clothes for me, as she remembered what i wore the day before. All i have is stripes!! People must think i don't wash my clothes.

Stripes are okay but zig zags are where it's really at. Not silly little 'chevrons' either, three lines minimum with at least four zips and corresponding zags.

Looooove stripes! It's like an easy uniform - stripy top, jeans, vans, done. Yes, people may think I do not wash my clothes but meh.

I love stripes but my wardrobe is rapidly approaching peak-stripyness so it is a pain.

However, horizontal stripes are more flattering because you don't warp the stripe. Vertical stripes are only good if you have no lumps or bumps at all
