exactly how to wear horizontal stripes like Sonia
Posted by Aloïs Guinut on Friday, August 26, 2016 · 3 Comments
Yesterday one of my preferred designers passed away. Daring, feminist, cheeky as well as parisienne to the suggestion of her fingernail (as you state in french), Sonia Rykiel created a fashion that resembled her.
When I walk in Paris wearing my tight little striped sweater, I feel like I belong to her gang of women who can do whatever they wanna do, laugh or dance on the catwalk if they feel like it.
So today, I want to dedicate a publish to her iconic stripes!
You can wear them as a top, a dress, a bottom or accessories
Rainbow stripes
With black inside if you want to do to the traditional Sonia. She when said that “black is a color since it makes every other color look colorful” or without!
You can match it with black clothes as in this Sonia Rykiel marketing campaign
Or like this lady does with her fluffy coat
With a matching color like Françoise Hardy on this old Elle cover from the seventies.
Or with accessories that match one or two stripes ^^
With a neutral color. On this photo taken by the sartorialist it is even matching.
Or with a less neutral color like Alexa Chung since as everybody knows, all of the colors of the rainbow together equal white ^^ look at me dealing with this here.
If you do not feel totally positive you can begin with just a bit of rainbow.
Just like Alix with her rainbow matching accessories.
2. Two colors stripes
Works extremely well with a third color as seen in the 2010 Rykiel show. Which can be a neutral or not.
In the last Rykiel lookbook, socks match both the sandals as well as the lining of the navy blue coat.
The iconic breton striped top has inspired numerous designers.
Here Sonia Rykiel added a third color: silver!
When chosen in black as well as white or navy as well as black, the breton stripes match… quite much everything! A plain color for instance.
Like in this “titi parisienne” outfit by Lulla
Or with this cute duckling shade.
Or in this outfit where I had mixed peacock blue sequins, brown tartan as well as leopard with my breton top (yes, all of that).
3. Textured stripes.
Which can be the exact same color. however not necessarily.
Transparent
Very see-through stripes as well as all the codes from Rykiel (the hair, the striped, the knit) in this catwalk look.
Though if you try it on yourself I suggest pairing your transparent striped top to a decent bottom instead of matching your hair with your panties. (For instance picture the above high waisted pants from Lulla with a striped black on transparent black top). however hey, your option ^^
Ouh, flounced stripes <3 Shiny Every texture of shiny! Gold leather at Rykiel. Big sequins in 2016 And you? Do you feel like “une femme Rykiel”? Cover picture: Lookbook Rykiel 2016, morning by Foley Category: Blog · Tags:
