Striped dress: The timeless staple is back
All the essential items that should be on your summer shopping list.
Stripes are back in style
Stripes and summer are a timeless combination. The print we see on beach towels, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and nautical tops is making a strong comeback in the Spring/Summer 2026 collections, this time in dresses that are emerging as the season’s absolute trend.
Offering a more subtle alternative to solid collours, stripes effortlessly add a fashionable touch to any outfit, elevating even the simplest looks. From caramel tones and earthy neutrals to classic black and white, they offer the impact of a statement print with greater ease in styling.
On the runways, they appeared in every possible variation. The maxi dresses by Calvin Klein and Jacquemus exuded a resort vibe, while Missoni’s knits and Isabel Marant’s one-shoulder designs seemed perfect for summer getaways.
From airy maxi dresses to knitted minis, the striped dress is emerging as the most versatile piece of summer 2026. Here’s a guide to help you find inspiration for your next purchases.
