Stripes are a print as old as time itself, but they really established themselves in the fashion world when used in playful American-inspired preppy styling, particularly at the likes of Ralph Lauren, Gap and Tommy Hilfiger. 

Our favourite styling hack for stripes was perfectly modelled at Miu Miu. The designer used striped T-shirts, which were styled on the catwalk over polo or cotton shirts and paired with cotton jackets, Bermuda shorts and sandals. This allowed unique and offbeat colour combinations to be used for maximum effect. The styling hack works across all types of tops – including fine knits, polo shirts, rugby sweatshirts and long- and short-sleeved T-shirts – with the latter being the simplest and most effective.
