Look for it on What’s Right Now every Friday, then try out the trend yourself and tweet your look using #HowToWearIt. Maybe it's the retro Brigitte Bardot (pictured, above) beach babe vibe, or the patriot in me, but I love nothing more than a blue-and-white palette for summer weekends. Finding new ways to wear them other then the striped tee and white denim combo is a challenge I happily accept. For starters, I am really into shopping sets like the one pictured above from Topshop (top, $60, topshop.com; bottom, $64, topshop.com). It looks great together but can also be broken down and mixed with a wide leg trouser or white tee (conveniently making it the perfect packing item for a beach weekend). Other essentials I love to mix in with my stripes: the perfect black bikini, a Panama hat, a pair of espadrilles, a white sunglass with some tortoise detail, and a simple playful ring. Just a few accessories can recreate a different look for the whole weekend. Not to mention it all fits in to a weekend tote. Happy 4th!
