Everyone’s Obsessed with Rainbow Stripes

28/01/2016alexa chung, coloured stripe trend, gucci rainbow jumper, how to wear stripes, rainbow stripes, rainbow trend ss16, style


Haven’t you heard? Orange is the new black. Along with yellow, green, blue, pink, violet, and red, all together in big bold candy stripes. Since Alessandro Michele sent his models in the latest Gucci installation stomping down the runway in all manner of eye-searing shades – not to mention dressed Alexa Chung in that rainbow sweater (which is now sold out everywhere) – the fashion world has become utterly obsessed with colour. Or to be more precise, all of the colours of the rainbow.

Fashion is a bizarre thing. Suddenly the got-to-have look du jour is all about garments bright enough to render a migraine in even those with the darkest sunglasses on. A rainbow sweater. It’s so juvenile, so sickly, so vulgar… that it’s actually rather brilliant. And against the dreary, slate-coloured skies of January, a resplendent rainbow does wonders for adding new season cheer. Yes, indeed, a rainbow sweater in January is what a christmas jumper is to the festive season. Totally novelty. Yet totally necessary (because, fashion)

So how do you do the rainbow stripe trend without looking as though a child has eaten a box of crayons and vomited all over you? Seek guidance from this high street selection. 

And some finishing touches

    It's one of those trends that takes you right back to childhood… and I love it!
    Something about throwing on a high neck rainbow jumper makes me feel so careless and fun, whilst the slightly mature me still existing on the inside somewhere!

    My favourite rainbow jumper is definitely the UNIF frost jumper – I've been in love with it for months but it's unfortunately way above my budget 🙁

Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even Valentine’s Day: do you do anything for it (even a card, an acknowledgement of it) or do you just live it like any other day? It’s not something that bothers me really but I said to Jimmy “it would be nice to get some flowers though” - he replied by asking me when actually is Valentine’s Day. Lol. So... bets are on. Who thinks I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day 😂?

They’re about the only shoes I wear in spring summer. Until then, I guess I’ll be wearing them as slippers 🥴
