These Nautical-Chic Striped Dresses Make Us Want to Set Sail

Just when we thought we couldn't get enough of the striped-tee trend, three stylish celebs showed their stripes in nautical-inspired dresses.

Just when we thought we couldn't get enough of the striped-tee trend, three stylish celebs showed their stripes in nautical-inspired dresses. Alexa Chung styled hers with black tights and a chic trench during London Fashion Week, Sarah Paulson donned a thicker, slouchier stripe at last month's Independent Spirit Awards, and newly coiffed Brooklyn Decker paired her fitted French Connection frock ($84) with ballet flats and a black tote. Each lady puts her own spin on the piece and proves that an LSD — little striped dress — can make for a simple, flattering, and totally classic look. Check out the pieces below — and get shopping!

Celebrity Trend Alert: Shoulder-Baring Frocks

Unlike a mini or maybe a plunging neckline, there are a few ways of revealing some skin that never feel, well, too revealing.

Unlike a mini or maybe a plunging neckline, there are a few ways of revealing some skin that never feel, well, too revealing. At the top of our list currently are shoulder-baring frocks, just the way fashion pack Alexa Chung, Michelle Monaghan, Abbie Cornish, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld are showing them off. They're sexy, but not overt, leaving an exposed neckline to adorn with a fabulous statement necklace or dangling earrings. We love the feel of a looser, floral-print off-the-shoulder for a fresh '70s vibe by day, then slip into a body-con version and channel a sultrier side of the '80s by night.

Trend Alert: Black, Sheer, and Sexy

When we saw this woman walking the streets of Paris (center photo), our jaws dropped — so gorgeous!

When we saw this woman walking the streets of Paris (center photo), our jaws dropped — so gorgeous! Sure, she's wearing a sheer top, but she walks with such self-assurance and elegance, proving she can rock the sheer trend. After seeing it on the runways for Spring at Phillip Lim and Valentino, we know this trend is a good investment. Key points: pair it with ladylike elements so it doesn't feel cheap. A long flowy skirt and structured jacket can also balance out the sexiness of the sheer top. Click through our editor picks for gorgeous sheer black pieces to try.
