Striped Skirts

Elizabeth Olsen stopped by the Live! With Kelly and Michael show in NYC working a below-the-knee navy-and-white striped skirt with a black sweater and tan ostrich oxfords. It's a simple look and one that can be easily re-created with pieces you probably already own. Just pair any striped skirt — it need not be the same colors or silhouette — with a solid sweater, then finish off with boyish oxfords like the ones we chose below or these Maison Martin Margiela gray ostrich oxfords ($360). For a nighttime version, swap the flat oxfords for a pair of high-heeled oxfords, like these Hinge cognac lace-up peep-toe pumps ($60, originally $120).

Jessica Alba colored the streets of NYC wearing an ellelauri colorful striped Carrie skirt ($118) with equally bright blue platform Ralph Lauren sandals. Blue Thierry Lasry sunglasses, a yellow Marc Jacobs bag, and neon beaded bracelets added further fun, while a simple white tank and navy blazer lent much-needed chic to her spunky look. Add Jessica's exact striped skirt to your Summer mix and wear it with bright sandals and a blazer like she did. Or match it with darker hues for a more nighttime feel. If you like your skirts a bit longer, get the skirt in the midi version ($156).

Solange Knowles is all about bright colors and prints, and her latest NYC ensemble proves that style fact to a tee. The eclectic DJ strutted her stuff in a colorful striped knee-length skirt, a blue circle straw bag, and the brown versions of these Ralph Lauren Collection lace-up sandals ($225, originally $750). A denim vest took Solange's look to much cooler heights, while Miu Miu's Extreme Catwalk sunglasses shielded her eyes with funky edge. Allow Solange to inspire you to mix your colorful stripes with a denim touch this Summer. Shop similar pieces, including Solange's exact shoes, to get started.
