12 of the best striped tops you need in your wardrobe
Striped tops have long been a wardrobe staple. Understated, versatile and relaxed, they are one of the few pieces you can throw on with just about anything, whatever the season. Best of all, they come in all a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, so there's a version for everyone.
Traditional Breton tops, with their bateau necklines and a looser fit, are the ultimate striped pieces that will always deliver on style. Stick to blue and white stripe variations for a classic look that team perfectly with denim, or try a bold red or green version for a pop of colour. For an on-trend take on stripes, look to rugby shirts in a relaxed, oversized fit. Tucked into wide-leg jeans, you'll have an effortless daytime look.
Fitted, button-down styles are a more elegant option, particularly when teamed with white trousers in the spring and summer months.
