Stripes.....Walk the line!

Its all about the stripes this spring/summer and the catwalks were awash with them...different colours different angles, thick, skinny, horizontal or vertical.. but stripes non the same!
So what's the big deal I asked myself? Stripes have always been around, maybe not so much in your face in this decade as other decades but they have never really gone out of fashion have they?
I like stripe looks but subtle stripes, that's just me personally, either way I've pulled together a few looks and where to get the best stripes from the highstreet at the moment...Personally I like my stripes with jeans, a cute blazer or good coat or a casual dress...what's your preference?
