Candy-Coated, Non-Nautical Stripes

By Amelia Diamond

Stripes are the unofficial pattern of summer, with a nautical palette of blue, white, and red at the helm. But as we get ready to transition into fall, let’s shift gears and go for something with a little more pop! Think Lemonhead yellows and peach-ring pinks, lollipop greens and Fun Dip blues. We’re craving Tibi’s Transit Skirt, which calls to mind that East Coast August staple, stretched saltwater taffy, and Proenza’s perfect knit, in four shades of fruity Gushers. But keep in mind that like all sugary treats, Pixie Stix stripes are best when you pick one delicious piece and call it a day.
