Banana Republic: This brand always does it right. I think they are just classy, on point, modern, urban-chic and ultimately elegant. Their Dresses are usually very well-made, too. They will last you for a good long time. There are currently more Striped Dresses at Banana but my top 3 picks are below and you can see why! The first dress - love at first sight. It will be mine when it goes on sale.
White House Black Market: Make no mistake, WHBM has some of the Best Dresses one could ever find. They are usually expensive but WHBM puts their items on sale so soon. Plus, the sales can be combined with coupons and their 5% off membership card. Actually all of their clothes are beautiful, classic, feminine and also most materials are very practical. Their ponte and jersey knits are the best. I should know, at least 25% of my clothing comes from there. I own at least 20 of their dresses. Seriously though, I would love to own all the 9 below (that I chose). One can only dream! These are ALL on sale and WHBM has at least a dozen more Striped Dresses most of which are on sale, too.
H&M: I have always liked the urban, modern, casual-cool and European vibe of H&M's clothes. But in the last 3 years especially, I have been enamored with their clothes, especially their dresses. As a matter of fact, I have purchased a few H&M Striped Dresses in the last couple of years (1, 2 and 3). I clearly love Stripes especially in Dresses and I adore all 3 of my Striped Dresses from H&M. They currently have a few cute striped options, in different styles, shapes and colors and all for a steal! I narrowed it down to 4 favorites!
The Limited: One of the earliest brands and stores I discovered is The Limited. I have been shopping there since I was 19 and a sophomore in college. Their designs are sophisticated, feminine, classy, office-appropriate and stay current to the on-going trends. I particularly love their Pants, Pencil Skirts, Jewelry and Dresses. I own over 30 Dresses from The Limited. They are a little mid-to-high priced but they always have a sale.
Loft: I only discovered Loft about 5 years ago (where had I been?). I had shopped at their more expensive, dressier sister store Ann Taylor for a few years before though. Needless to say I now love Loft more. Like The Limited they are almost always running sales and promotions so really you shouldn't have to pay full-price. What I love about Loft is that almost all of their clothes can be both dressed down or dressed up. They are office-chic and yet casual enough. They have many Striped Dresses currently, but below are my top 4.
So, did I convince you yet? You definitely need one (or three) New Striped Dress this Fall? I gave you 22 options today. Which are some of your favorites? I am telling you, I wouldn't mind owning each single one. Plus, with the rest of my Striped Dresses, I would have a new Striped Dress to wear each day for a month, and then some lol!
Happy Hump Day Everyone!
