Stars In Stripes
There's one wardrobe staple that never goes out of fashion with the A-list: the stripe. Take inspiration from your favourite stars and spread the stripey love.
Rex FeaturesRosie Huntington-Whiteley
Stripey trousers are a statement look that require a healthy dose of chutzpah to pull them off. That's why we'll be ripping off this gorgeous navy and white look from Rosie this summer for instant nautical-inspired chic.

Showing off her enviably tanned and toned abs in a midriff skimming striped top and jeans, Lily Allen's relaxed daytime outfit at the Cannes Film Festival is perfect.
Getty ImagesKhloe Kardashian
Ahead of sister Kim's wedding to Kanye, Khloe Kardashian jetted into the French capital in this stripey dress, no doubt a nod to the traditional Breton stripes.
Rex FeaturesRita Ora
Channeling three of the hottest new season trends at once, Rita Ora was snapped walking through LAX in blue (check!), stripes (check!) and a bomber jacket (triple check!) this week.
PA PhotosJanuary Jones
This is quite possibly one of our favourite ever looks from January Jones. The Mad Men actress blew the competition out of the water at a charity gala in March in this sublime striped mini. The hot red lipstick is the perfect finishing touch.
PA PhotosEmma Stone
Emma is a picture of effortless elegance in a striped lace two-piece Chloe ensemble for her latest movie The Amazing Spider-man 2: Rise Of The Electro. The contrasting yellow shoes are a genius finishing touch.
Rex FeaturesKourtney Kardashian
For a mid-morning jaunt to LAX airport in March, Kourtney Kardashian worked a cool, off-duty ensemble consisting of boyfriend jeans, smart black heels and a silk striped shirt. This outfit epitomises the term 'effortless chic'.
PA PhotosLea Michele
GLAMOUR cover girl Lea Michele likes her stripes of the pristine variety.
PacificCoastNews.comGwen Stefani
Queen of cool Gwen loves nothing more than a striped trouser. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but on Gwen anything goes.
Rex FeaturesCara Delevingne
When Cara's not working the runway, she reaches for a cool-girl tee and an eye-catching stretchy pant. Today's style just happens to be of the striped variety. Lucky us!

You know a style is for keeps if La Moss is sporting it. We love this opulent furry coat with leather stripe detailing.

MK and Ashley love a stripe. And if it's good enough for these two, it's good enough for us.
Rex FeaturesSarah Jessica Parker
Nautical navy and royal-blue stripes work beautifully together. Thanks for reminding us that stripes don't just come in black and white, SJP.
Rex FeaturesZoe Saldana
Stripes look chic, dressed up or dressed down, correct Zoe Saldana? They also perform well when the sun is shining.
Rex FeaturesCatherine Zeta Jones
When the dog needs walking NOW, make like CZJ and throw on a stripey item and let the compliments flood in. You're welcome.

Stripes also work well with contrasting overlays, just like Kate Bosworth's double Cs.
Rex FeaturesLeighton Meester
Or with a side of florals, like Leighton's sleek jumpsuit.

An LBD always benefits from a stripey lift. We love Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka's sweet take on the trend.
PacificCoastNews.comAlexa Chung
Alexa Chung shows that stripes and leather go together like birds of a feather.

We're becoming convinced that stripes really like two things: warm weather and the space to shine. Rachel Bilson obliges on the latter with her pale palette, letting her slimline stripes take centre stage.
Rex FeaturesRose Byrne
Rose Byrne's mustard overcoat gives us just a glimpse of her stripey sweater. A mere fleeting glance though is all you need for stripe success.
Rex FeaturesSofia Coppola
THIS is how to do stripes in a chic and très sophisticated manner. Thanks for the heads-up, Sofia Coppola.
