Sick of stripes!

Well, no hope here it seems. I have many striped tops, some complete with flowers and enjoy wearing them all. Always different that’s me .

I don't have (and never owned) any striped clothing. I have plain t-shirts and lots of flowery tops, dresses and trousers. I don't like animal prints either (leopard, zebra, tiger etc.)

I like my stripes neat.

Please don't try to water them down with flowers. Flowers are a different thing altogether and don't belong on stripes in my opinion.

They belong in the same place as skirts with elasticated waists 😱

I bought a striped long sleeved top, in red, white and blue for the Jubilee and wore it again for the Coronation - our little estate had a bit of a do.
Last weekend I saw a lady wearing the same item - she was about the same size and build as me and it looked awful. When I got home I tried mine on again and yes - it certainly did me no favours! I’m glad I’d only worn it to be patriotic for the day but it’s gone in the charity bag now.
I’ll stick to plain colours.

Stripes and checks are my absolute go to. Love them. Such a variety of colourways and designs. Absolutely love the feel good factor they give me. Florals are so Mumsy for me but I am aware that's the current fashion.

I've seen those 'roses over stripes' tops and my main reaction was 'why?' I have lots of tee-shirts in plain colours and only two with stripes -both white and navy. What I'm wearing today will depend on what is waiting to be washed and what is still in the drawer! I also have two spotty tops. There must be something wrong with those!

Can’t stand the roses over stripes (Joules)?
What’s that about?

I don’t mind a stripe or two but I never buy anything with a logo. Once, leaving the dentist’s after having a tooth removed, I bumped straight into a man wearing a GAP t shirt - yes, thanks for reminding me! 🥴

In any shop, I head unerringly for the stripe.... how I wish I looked like Joan Collins in them : sadly its more "Phil Collins fat sister".

I've browsed the shops today and there are loads of stripey shirts and jumpers, so no need to say goodbye for the winter.

I have just bought a black and white striped shirt dress. It looks classy. Well I think it does.
I got rid of all my Breton tops!

I just looked in my wardrobe, I have 4! All fairly old and all good quality and all different. Long sleeves, short sleeves, scoop neck, crew neck, buttoned Henley type neck.

I have some lovely plain t-shirts in various colours from Rapanui. Good quality cotton, wash and wear really well.

I like stripes as well, but really only have 1 long sleeved t-shirt, not a proper breton.

They don't seem as ubiquitous here. Most of my t-shirts are v-neck solid colour.

I love stripes and if it’s good enough for Joanie, it’s good enough for me!

This thread puts me in mind of this video of a wives' prank on their T-shirt wearing husbands.

I love stripes - particularly loved the old Clothkits ones in (maybe) late 70s - but certainly the very early 1980s which came in lots of slightly "off-beat" colours. 😍

I love stripes! They don’t date as much as other patterns do. Nothing wrong with a good stripe!

I’m in complete agreement with Foxy and Bertha. Utterly fed up with stripes, inspite of some being good quality cotton and comfortable to wear.
I’ve reverted to plain and agree M&S aren’t the best.
I did get some lovely Boden ones recently in the sale which I’m pleased with.

I rarely wear a pattern, on T-shirts or dresses. Most of my T-shirts are white also. I do have one striped Seasalt shirt but I can’t remember when I last wore it.

I still have a couple of striped tops, Seasalt, but grew tired of my Joules ones and took them to the charity shop. I rather like spots or plain, jazzed up with a scarf or necklace.

Beeping phone!!!!

Is that the Welsh branch of Joules? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love brecon stripes. And I have seen fewer this year, I thought.

I don’t mind stripes, or spots, but usually I go for plain tops, ideally with a collar or scoop neck. Flowers, never. I don’t think I have a single flowery thing in my wardrobe.
