Striped Shirts

It's clear Sarah Jessica Parker has a soft spot for Current/Elliott's printed denim. From her gray camouflage pair to her latest fishnet-print ankle denim ($198), she definitely knows how to instantly jazz up her causal looks. SJP styled her newest printed jeans with a navy-and-white striped tee, a hot pink cardigan, and gold mary-janes while walking with her son in NYC. Score Sarah Jessica's exact printed jeans to work with a striped top and pink cardigan for a mixed-print look, then swap her tee for this red striped American Apparel sweater ($62) when the temperatures start to cool.

It's no secret Diane Kruger pairs prints like a pro, and her latest ensemble — a black and white striped shirt, high-waisted floral shorts, and cap-toe polka-dot Loeffler Randall flats ($295) — prove she won't be ousted as the mixed-print master anytime soon. Although her Parisian-chic look was stunning on its own, leave it to Diane to up the wow factor via a black fisherman's hat, chain-strap python shoulder bag, and too-cool shades. Work a striped top and floral-print shorts with her exact flats to re-create Diane's mix-print masterpiece or swap the shorts for this equally sweet Eight Sixty floral skater skirt ($38, originally $68) for extra feminine flair.

Even while going for a bike ride in Miami, Doutzen Kroes was model material working a red-and-white striped top, denim cutoffs, and these black leather Givenchy gladiators ($490). The blond stunner accessorized her sunny style with a bevy of necklaces and bracelets, folding Ray-Ban shades ($155), and a black crossbody bag. Whether you're heading out for a ride on your beach cruiser or just grabbing lunch with friends on a warm day, re-create Doutzen's easy, breezy look with her exact gladiators — also available in nude ($557, originally $795) — with a striped top and denim cutoffs.

During the promotional tour for The Amazing Spider-Man, Emma Stone has been on a chic fashion streak, working the most lust-worthy looks including this right-off-the-runway Burberry Prorsum ensemble. Emma tucked her navy-and-olive striped blouse into a black ruffled pencil skirt, then slipped on a pair of red patent Brian Atwood pumps and a turquoise statement necklace to seal her stunning Seoul style. Perfectly sleek locks, a few gold Jennifer Meyer accessories, and au naturel makeup polished off her impeccable look. Work a similar striped top, black pencil skirt, red pumps, and a statement bib necklace to re-create Emma's classic look, fit for the boardroom or happy hour.

Summer staples can be far from boring with just a couple of tweaks. Instead of the usual pair of khaki shorts, try it in a hot pink hue — rolled, cuffed, and paired with nude sandals. Also, we're currently loving the classic white shirt tied in front and wearing cute flats in a unexpectedly bright turquoise hue from J.Crew ($118). Shop more standout essentials below!
