line pairings

 

I don't know Barbara Santiago, pictured here, but we are of the same stripe! The Lisbon-based designer and I share a deep fondness for striped everything as well as lining them up with more stripes and other graphic prints. Like me, she sources the best ones from Kule, particularly the long-sleeve tees and the knits. However, she inspires me with her creative pairings such as the striped boxers (also these) with a billowy Doen blouse, below, or with more feminine maxi skirts (this slit Zara, this vegan leather Cinq a Sept, and the one, above). Lately, she's been mixing in neutral Alohas shoes for a more subdued fall look (see here), and I'm going to follow suit!
