SEARCHES for striped shirts are up 2,900 percent, says shopping app LTK.
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale shows how a £12 Primark shirt can suit any occasion.
CASUAL WEEKEND
WHEN going for a relaxed, casual look, a shirt looks great over jeans and a t-shirt, and you can wear it with the sleeves up or down.
It can also be an alternative to a coat, especially given our questionable climate.
On windy nights, it will keep you warm when you need something to cover your arms.
WORK

THIS type of shirt is also perfect for the office.
Wear loose-fitting pants and button your shirt almost to the top, leaving at least one button unbuttoned so it doesn’t look too stuffy.
Even though it’s summer, air-conditioned offices can be cold, so wearing a vest like this can be a great option.
IN THE CITY

WHO said a blue striped shirt can’t be worn at night?
Wear with a satin skirt and fun shoes, like these Zara heels.
A silver clutch, statement earrings and a chunky necklace can really add glamour.
But be sure to tuck the shirt into the skirt for a sleeker silhouette.
LIFE IS A BEACH

A STRIPED shirt is a great addition to your vacation wardrobe – throw it on over a swimsuit for an easy beach look, pair with flat sandals, a raffia bag and some sunglasses and you’re good to go.
Roll up your sleeves so you don’t get too hot, and for a whole new look, layer shorts over your swimsuit.
LADIES HAVING LUNCH

DON’T forget that you can wear your shirt under a dress, like these jeans from River Island.
It’s great if you want to wear a sleeveless dress or top but don’t want all your arms showing.
The fabric of the shirt is thin and cool, so even if you layer it, it won’t leave you feeling too hot and sticky during the summer months.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
7
IF you need an extra layer over your dress but don’t want to reach for your jacket, opt for a shirt.
To give your look more shape, tie a knot in the front to secure it.
Wearing the shirt like this is perfect for summer holidays, adding that extra layer with a piece you already have in your suitcase.
DOWN WITH THE CHILDREN
7
A WHITE shirt is a basic item, but around children there is a risk of stains. With the striped option, they are less visible.
If you’re looking for an outfit that’s easy to wear while running around after the kids, something like this is perfect.
Wear it with a t-shirt underneath or alone.
