Fashion is cyclical, but stripes are the piece you must have in your wardrobe. For spring and summer 2026, striped shirts are being redefined and invite you to leave behind the strict nautical style, adopting a bolder aesthetic.

Why are stripes your Must-Have?

From the runways to the street style you see around you, the message is clear: stripes add energy and character to your look. This year, forget the classic blue and white and get ready for an explosion of colors and sizes that will elevate your style.

The trends you will love

• Breton Stripes with a Twist: Choose the classic French stripe but in an oversized fit and with asymmetrical finishes for a more modern look.
• Candy Stripes: Dare to wear colorful, thin stripes in pastel shades that will give you a retro summer vibe.
• Vertical Statements: Invest in vertical stripes. They are the ideal solution if you want your silhouette to look taller and slimmer.

How to style them this year

To stay fully up-to-date, pair your relaxed-fit striped T-shirt with solid-colored linen trousers or earth-tone shorts. The secret for 2026 is mix & match: don’t be afraid to combine different stripe widths in the same outfit if you want a more edgy look.
