Now I know that it's not the pattern itself I'm afraid of; it's finding the right stripes that either add volume (in a good way) or elongate my frame. Incorporating them into my sartorial rotation is a great way to add more depth to an outfit without losing that classic feel. I also love the range of pairings: I chose to layer this Breton shirt under a sleeveless trench, but it could easily be teamed with a jacket, blazer, or knit sweater. Styling options abound for fall!
