Striped accessories | BCBusiness
Stripes are a perennially fashionable pattern, no matter your gender or style. They can be classy or casual, feminine or manly, bold or subtle. Here are five ways stripes can work for you.
Arguably the oldest form of embellishment, stripes have adorned pretty much everything designers have ever tried to pretty up, while also being used to tally up the costs of the effort (four vertical stripes slashed by one horizontal was a primitive version of the Arabic symbol for “five”). Form meets function. No wonder stripes offer the perfect hit of gender-neutral colour in any office environment.
