Striped Pieces for Women: Breton Tees, Rugby Shirts, Striped Sweaters & Striped Pants
21
items Stripe width and direction change how a piece reads: wide, even bands feel sporty and casual, while thin pinstripes look polished and lengthen the line. This list sorts striped tees, rugby shirts, sweaters, pants, dresses and athleisure by that rule,...
Think of it as the Breton idea with a wider, bolder band, and the even stripe spacing is what keeps it from looking too nautical. The boatneck opens up the shoulders, so I wear it under a denim jacket with straight jeans and it needs nothing else. Mi...
Madewell The Rugby Boatneck Long-Sleeve Tee in Club Cotton
Vertical stripes on a wide leg are the easiest way I know to look taller without heels. The stretch cotton has enough give for a day of errands and dog walks, and the front patch pockets are actually usable. I pair them with a plain white tee and sne...
Madewell The Emmy Wide-Leg Pant in Waterfall Stripe
A cotton knit like this one is my pick for the weeks when wool is too warm but a tee is too thin. The pointelle texture softens the stripes so they read as pattern rather than loud color, and it layers over a collared shirt without bunching at the wa...
Madewell Striped Textured-Stitch Crewneck Sweater in 100% Cotton
If you want the rugby look without the heavy price, this pique tee is the one I would start with. It runs relaxed and long, so it covers leggings fully on a walk, and the textured pique cotton resists wrinkles even when it spends a day in the car. Go...
OFFLINE By Aerie Long Sleeve Pique Striped Rugby T-Shirt
Horizontal stripes on a smocked bodice sound risky, but the elastic gives the bodice shape so the lines curve with you instead of cutting across. The puff sleeves do the dressing up. It is my go-to pick for a weekend lunch or a casual party when I wa...
Maeve Margie Smocked Stripe Midi Dress
Thin stripes in a deep claret feel more grown up than navy and white, and they hide small stains better than solid white does. The slub cotton has a lived-in texture from the first wear and the dropped shoulders make it comfortable for driving. I wea...
Madewell Easy Crewneck Long-Sleeve Tee in Sunday Slub (Claret Stripe)
A short-sleeve button-up in crisp cotton poplin is the athleisure piece that works on a school-run morning and at a casual dinner. The slight crop and boxy cut sit nicely over high-rise leggings or wide jeans, and the orange stripe is a welcome break...
Nike Sportswear Chill Poplin Women's Oversized Striped Top
Wear a striped cardigan open over a solid tee and the vertical gap between the two halves works like a long, slimming line. Buttoned up, it turns into a sweater of its own. I like how it adds color to a plain outfit without needing any jewelry, which...
Damson Madder Cece Striped Cardigan Sweater
Chunky varsity stripes in red and navy are the most classic rugby combination, and the heavyweight jersey keeps it from clinging. The boxy cut works with a tennis skirt, trousers or jeans. Wear it with the collar popped up for a more relaxed effect, ...
Madewell Boxy Rugby Polo
Seamless knit means no itchy side seams during a long walk, and the mock neck keeps the chill off when the morning is cold. The black and white stripe makes a flattering base layer under a zip jacket. I also wear it to the grocery store because it lo...
Athleta Renew Seamless Mock Neck Stripe Logo Top
These are the striped trousers to buy if you want them to look expensive. The high rise and slim fit through the hip let the stripes run clean from waist to hem, and it comes in several stripe colors, so you can choose a tone that goes with your ward...
Maeve Colette Striped Full-Length Wide-Leg Pants
Narrow stripes on a ribbed knit stretch with you, which is why this works as a layering piece under overalls, blazers and pinafore dresses. The slim body sits between waist and hip, so it never bunches under a coat. At this price I own it in a second...
Madewell The Boatneck Layering Tee in Utility Rib (Vintage Merlot Stripe)
The long-sleeve polo gives you the rugby collar but in a quieter, more grown-up way. Cream and black thin stripes look clean with dark jeans, and the textural cotton knit stays soft after washing. I like it for cooler mornings when a full sweater is ...
Madewell Relaxed Polo Shirt in Stripe
A striped turtleneck is the one sweater where I think wide stripes do better than thin ones, because the neckline already adds a lot of detail up top. Tuck the front into high-waisted trousers and you get a long vertical line under it. It layers well...
By Anthropologie Turtleneck Striped Sweater
The built-in bra and elastic band make this a true standalone top, and the soccer-jersey stripes give it an on-trend sporty feel. I wear it with a loose button-up or an open overshirt for sun protection. It is made from recycled materials, and the fa...
Nike Sportswear Women's Slim Striped Jersey Tube Top
A shirtdress with a thin vertical stripe is basically a wardrobe cheat code: it looks pulled together with no effort. The A-line cut gives you room to move, and the collar frames the face. Add a belt to define the waist or leave it loose for a looser...
English Factory Striped Midi Shirt Dress
Even stripes, meaning the same width for the light and dark bands, are the easiest to match with other patterns, so this tee goes with plaid shirts and a printed scarf without clashing. The all-cotton jersey is thick enough that it never goes see-thr...
Madewell The Perfect Crewneck Tee in Allday Jersey (Even Stripe)
The white contrast collar is what makes a rugby top look like rugby and not just a striped tee. It frames the face nicely and works with jeans or a pleated skirt. The slouchy cotton cut does not cling, so layer it under a vest or let it be the main e...
By Anthropologie Striped Rugby Top
Splurge alert: the cutout back and adjustable tie give it a shape most striped shirts lack. The brown stripe on black is a less obvious pairing than navy and white. Stretch poplin means it moves with you and sheds wrinkles easily, so it earns its pri...
SIMONMILLER Loch Poplin Buttondown Shirt
These feel like pajama pants but look like real trousers, thanks to crisp cotton poplin and soft coral stripes. The elastic waist and open hems are perfect for travel days or running to the store. They pair with the matching Chill Poplin top for an e...
Nike Sportswear Chill Poplin Women's Loose Mid-Rise Woven Striped Pants
Piped edges and a red-navy stripe give this pajama-style shirt a vintage feel that I rarely see in a button-up. The midweight poplin is opaque, and the hip length covers leggings completely. Wear it buttoned with trousers, or open as a light jacket o...
Madewell Long Button-Up Shirt in Stripe Poplin
