We have a lot of go-to outfit formulas, but those made-for-Saturday-and-Sunday combos are usually some of our favourites. For Summer, when our weekends are packed with leisurely strolls, picnics in the park, and al fresco dining, cute and comfortable shorts are one of our favourite pieces to wear on repeat from denim cutoffs to nautical-inspired styles. On top, shoulder-baring tanks, comfy tees, and feminine blouses are always great, but for a nonchalant look that feels quintessentially Summer, there's nothing better than a striped top-and-shorts pairing.
Don't get us wrong, we're all about stylish and comfortable Summer work outfits, pretty party looks, wear-anywhere dresses, even outfits based around swimwear, but a pair of shorts with a striped tee, tank, or blouse is just so easy.
With sneakers, you can rock this two-piece outfit pretty much anywhere, and to kick the combo up a notch, experimenting with Summer's biggest accessory trends is superfun. But of course, you can rock your favourite striped top and pair of shorts barefoot around the house, poolside, or during a backyard barbecue if that's your thing (we're not here to judge).
Because you truly can't go wrong wearing a striped tee and shorts in the Summer, ahead, we've assembled 10 different versions of the winning outfit formula to try this season. And for more Summer outfit ideas, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's, where you'll discover a range of affordable looks you can wear on the weekends, for occasions, during holiday, and beyond.
