If there is such thing as a timeless print, stripes must surely be considered among the candidates. For this reason, Massimo Dutti presents its striped T-shirt designs for women in an edition that pays homage to the French sailor print and reinvents it, adapting it to current codes and transporting it to the heart of the metropolis.
Throughout history, striped T-shirts have become an iconic item. Although originally masculine in inspiration, they are now a must-have in today's casual women's wardrobe. As one of the most versatile options, the cotton striped T-shirt is at the pinnacle of functionality as a printed garment that is a wardrobe essential. Thanks to its breathable and insulating properties, cotton is one of the fibres of choice when it comes to creating long-lasting pieces that can keep up with the pace of busy city life. And of course, it is also ideal for getaways away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city.
Among the most comfortable designs, oversized striped T-shirts are the ideal candidate. With the natural versatility of the print, its reinterpreted maxi silhouette adds an extra dose of comfort that makes it unbeatable when it comes to creating looks that remain impeccable throughout the day and are practical at the same time.
There are many different models in which this print is presented. Given its origins, the Breton striped T-shirt, originally worn by sailors from the French region of Brittany, is an iconic piece and is therefore the most classic option. However, season after season, the sailor striped T-shirt has proven to be timeless and in fact, it is a must-have for a versatile yet foolproof wardrobe. Alternatives in timeless shades such as black, white, brown, beige, and even red stripes are also suitable for a variety of occasions, equally sophisticated and easy to combine.
A striped T-shirt can be worn with anything from casual to smart-casual looks. On the casual side, they can be worn with jeans and ballerinas as well as with midi skirts and trainers or boots. On the other hand, a few eye-catching accessories—such as a blazer and high-heeled sandals—elevate the outfit and make it suitable for more special situations. However, if you want to do without the T-shirt but not the print, one of the best options is the striped top, which adds a very contemporary touch and at the same time opens the door to an infinite number of new combinations with a cosmopolitan twist.
