Stripes were definitely seen on the Spring 2009 runways! (Michael Kors Spring 2009 photo coutesy of style.com)
Wide, skinny, horizontal, vertical, I LOVE them all! But I probably don't wear them as much as I'd like to. Depending on the color and placement of the stripes they can tend to look nautical. And there is still the same adage that horizonal stripes may make you look wider.
But lots of designers have become wiser and more creative, placing stripes at angles or in areas that give you the illusion of a having an hourglass shape or a slimming effect (for example, making the stripes increasing thinner as they go down the front of your sweater).
Here are some spring stripes from Delia's and JC Penney(which has the new Charlotte Ronson designer line). ** click on the image below to see the items or stores in detail**

I know what you mean. I like stripes in theory but I don't really own much of anything!
I picked up the cutest nautical stripe sweater at Target last year. This post reminded me to fetch it out of the summer bin packed away in my closet.
I'm with Ann ... I keep thinking I'll find my perfect stripy garment, but just never do!

I like the I heart Ronson line. I saw it up close at Penney's and it looked decent.
I have an addiction to stripes. One day when my bartender told me..."you really like stripes huh?"
I didn't realize it. went home, looked in my closet and barely had any solid colored tops. BARELY.
I got help and keep the stripes to a minimum now. I look at them longingly from time to time.
Thanks so much for visiting me on my SITS day :)
i want to be able to pull off stripes. it's such a cute, nautical look. but i look ridiculous!
