2013 Fashion Forecast - On Trend Pt II Vertical Stripes

Hello Fashionastas!

Time for another fashion forecast.  Vertical stripes seem to be on Trend for 2013.  They are everywhere.  Some are referred to as burglar stripes.  But it's more than just black and white.  Stripes are on the runways and in the stores in all colors and all directions. 









When I saw this black and white outfit (above), MJ's song, "Black or White", popped into my head.



While looking at this photo I started singing Elvis's "Jail House Rock".  What's come over me?








Hmm.., I will definitely make something striped during the year.  There are several striped fabrics in the ole collection waiting to be transformed.

I'm making McCall's Fashion Star 6707 pants.  They look similar to the pants shown above.

M6707



Will you make a striped garment this Spring?  Please share your thoughts.



In the meantime, here are MJ - singing "Black or White" and Elvis - singing "Jail House Rock".

Stay Turned for more on Trend 2013

  1. What perfect songs for a stripey post! I have an idea for chevroning some stripes for spring ~ don't know if I'll get to it or not!

  2. I have always loved stripes of any sort. When I did interiors it was one of my signatures to put a stripe somewhere in every room. It just adds energy as it does with clothing.

    That big zip and the simplicity of that jacket are very appealing.

  4. I just made a top using stripes both vertically and horizontally. Narrow purple and black, in a Katherine Tilton pattern (Vogue 8710). I love it!
