Tell me in the comments if you can relate here, but wearing stripes always makes me feel extra fashionable, especially when it comes to black and white striped outfits. The print and colors are absolutely timeless and go with everything. Depending on the types of stripes, you can even get a highly flattering look for your body type. Here in this look book I have 15 ways to style black and white striped clothes that will leave you itching to update your wardrobe. Of course, I have similar and affordable pieces that you can shop right now.
Black and White Striped Clothes
Jailbird
The first look in these black and white striped outfits always reminds me of jail, but in the most stylish way possible. Since the top is high low, you can easily pair it with leggings. Mine is way too open in the front, so layering with a cami is a must. The way that the long necklace hangs in the deep surplice opening of the shirt is to die for. Thigh high boots provide a balance to the length of the top, and a two-tone handbag seals the deal.

Model Material
Second is a ridiculously old black and white striped shorts outfit. The black shirt is an elevated basic with the crochet sleeves. Doing a faux tuck with the shirt accents your shorts and makes you look like you know what you are doing. You can opt for a shoe with a heel to heighten your fashion game, or tame it with a flat shoe. A striped bag to match the shorts is a must! The hat is optional, and then I finish the look off with layered necklaces.

The Cold Shoulder
Third is a basic dress-up outfit that will help you get your stripe game on anytime, even at the office. This ribbed cold shoulder dress works for so many occasions! Go ahead and add more texture with a quilted handbag, staple leather block heel sandals, and some bracelets to spice up your plain wrists.

Casual Cutie
Fourth is a great example of how to take a dress and make it as casual or as formal as you please. Something about this off-the-shoulder dress screams to be paired with a chambray shirt, and I know that hides the tie accents on the sleeves. The shirt is entirely optional, but easy layering amplifies your fashion expertise to others. Here are those basic heels again! A necklace helps fill the void on the neck area. Finally, a simple leather bag is the right touch to conclude the style.

Style Ref
Fifth in these black and white striped outfits is a prime example on styling a bodysuit. Bodysuits give you the tucked in look always, without having to fix it all day long. These stripes are slimming, so when you compound that with leather pants, your figure looks amazing! This bodysuit has an open neck area, so necklaces are an easy must. Wedge heels give that extra BAM to the look. You know me, I am not afraid to pair stripes on stripes with that clutch bag. Consider ditching the pants and turning this into a leather skirt outfit!

Laced and Ready
Next is a black and white striped shirt outfit. The shirt with its lace-up details on the front has enough going on, so a choker necklace does not distract. This particular shirt tucks in well, so I have an excuse to wear the leather pants again. Heels always make me feel more fashionable, but you do you. There is that trusty striped clutch again!

Lip Service
Here is yet another black and white striped top outfit. Something about this one always gives me lady boss or business casual vibes. A clean cut shirt paired with super distressed jeans will let everyone know that you mean business. The lip purse is an extra special detail that grabs attention. Heeled booties secure the boss vibes, and then all you need is a simple cubic zirconia choker.

Take Me Out
Continuing on, we have an outfit that takes some queues from the previous. Maybe it is the wider stripes on the shirt that call for a wider choker, but the mirror effects are top notch. Plus, they tie into the glamorous heels on the booties. With all this going on, a small bag will do, but the velvet details give us some texture. Slightly distressed jeans are never wrong.

Work That Runway
Here is another old look, but layering does not get any easier than this! Pull out your staple black v-neck tee, and pair it with super dark indigo shorts (that are also comfortable). A long y-necklace adds some bling to the plain area of the shirt. The stripes come in by way of the kimono, which is then paired to the clutch bag. Again, the hat is optional. The heeled peep-toe booties have a lot of details, including spikes and straps.

A Rosy Outlook
Next in black and white striped outfits is a fun and flirty top. This shirt features roses with the stripes, cold shoulders, buttons, and plenty of ruffles. I like it with some denim capris to make it more casual. Black sandals are completely safe, and their gold accents go with the hoop earrings. Instead of a striped bag this time, I am going with a color block option.

Perfectly Tied
Pressing on, I have a dressy work outfit that you have to try. This is thick stripes meets thin stripes, plus the battle of tie fronts. This high low shirt is short enough in the front to not hide the paper bag waist detail of the pants. Heeled booties with a dress up look? Yes! A necklace screams to be worn between the top button of the shirt. The furry handbag adds texture and more bling on top of an already blinged-out situation.

Dark and Mysterious
Here is an option with bell sleeves. You can even cinch the waist of this shirt for a flattering effect. This look feels more dressy to me, hence the super shiny choker and heeled booties. Notice the way that the striped clutch bag gives us more white in a mostly dark look.

Clearly Defined
Next is a quick summer outfit that looks super expert, yet it is so comfy. This shirt is borderline striped, but not quite plaid. It features gold accents which I play up with the necklace. Leather shorts are unexpected, plus they give us texture against a PVC handbag. As you can see with the bag, I am forcing some stripes in there. Black and white sandals pull all of the elements together.

All Aboard
Just when you thought the black and white striped outfits are done, I have a third super old look for you. This peplum top gives major sailor vibes, meaning the anchor earrings are more than appropriate. This look has a lot of gold accents, so out come the spiked ballet flats. Yes, those spikes do hurt. A basic leather handbag keeps the look in control. Black dress pants do not distract from our fine details.

Cocktails at 1
If you need any black and white striped jumpsuit outfit ideas, I am ending with one. You can see mine has the strings for a belt, but since I bought it discount, it does not have one. Feel free you add your own belt to cinch your waist, or go without. Wearing heels is a great way to combat jumpsuits with a longer leg. Since the striped purse has silver accents, so do the earrings. If you enjoy this look, I have so many more jumpsuit outfits to explore here on the blog.
