It's become routine to see nautical stripes trickle into stores come February and March for spring shipments (year round if you're shopping Ralph Lauren). Instantaneously classic, the stripes are hard not to associate with a red lip and bow, but I chose to downplay the shirt with gold accessories and a dark-washed boot-cut. Don't be surprised if you see it again paired with a khaki short and a splash of red or with a floral skirt to play into the mix-matched pattern trend.
