CRISP SUMMER FAVORITES FOR JULY: 7 STRIPED ITEMS TO COVET NOW

There is no denying stripes look even more alluring in the summer months. From sipping an iced tea under a striped awning to lounging on the beach beneath the shade of a striped umbrella, this linear pattern seems to be everywhere, and becomes even more apparent come warm weather. I've rounded up some of my favorite striped finds, on items that are expected and a few that aren't.

A summer wallet lightens things up, and in this case, keeps them festive. Balenciaga's blue and white striped wallet from Net a Porter resembles the striped beach umbrellas on the French Riviera.

I love this skinny striped bedding from new bedding brand,  Hill House Home. The Slim Stripes collection is subtle and understated, and looks great mixed with pure white bedding.
