Just like taking a dose of vitamins, putting on stripes has an immediate effect on your morale! Stripes have been around since the 70s and made their comeback to the fashion world in the Noughties, but they've been adorning swimwear since time immemorial. It's worth knowing that horizontal, large and regualar stripes aren't advisable for curvy women, the ideal being slimming vertical stripes.
On the other hand, if you're slim, stripes will look fab on you in any form.
 
This colourful two-piece with Madras stripe print could have been drawn with a brush. 

We love: the arty effect of the printed "brushstrokes" and colours that shout summer's here!
