Horizontal stripes with a nautical edge are easy wardrobe staples in the spring and summer. Luckily for us, the classic look doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and some of the latest silhouettes are sweet and feminine. I just picked up this dress from Forever21 and was really impressed with the pleated detailing at the waist and striking black zipper. The cut is amazing, and fits my curves in all the right places. Here are five more of our favorites out right now in a range of reasonable price points:
This Theory Striped Silk Dress looks effortless and chic. This would be a great base to start mixing with prints and patterns, and silk is easily dressed up in the evening.
We love the carefree fit of the Ella Moss Cassidy Striped Dress. The rounded hem and gathered sleeves are a sweet contrast to the wide jersey stripes.
This linen jersey A.L.C. Striped Kate Dress has an exposed back zip and striking silhouette. We love the wide boat neck and the way the horizontal stripes are cut to line up with the seams.
Sometimes we can’t get over how inexpensive Forever21 is. This Heritage1981 Striped Dress is only $14.90! It comes with braided rope leatherette belt with antique brass finish, and features two adorable front pockets.
How pretty is this Mango Stripe Bow Back Dress? It features pockets and back bows with keyhole detailing! Available at ASOS.com for just under $100.
