Do Stripes like Marc Jacobs

I wouldn't say I was a big fan of the Marc Jacobs shows last season (spring summer 2013). There was both Marc Jacobs (the brand) and Louis Vuitton that showed very simple collections inspired by striped and checkerboards. Despite being rather uninspiring to me, the collections are very wearable and have become a hit online. So, here are some ways you can do stripes like Marc Jacobs!

Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2013, ASOS leggings in checkboard print, ASOS midi skirt in bold stripe

French Connection Stripe Skater Dress, Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2013, ASOS high waisted shorts in bold stripe, River Island pencil dress in stripes

All these monochromatic collections... I'll probably take some time to pick this trend up. In the meantime, get yourself a pair of booties. They go great with the stripes!
