Zig Zag

5 Apr

Every wardrobe should include at least one zig zag piece.  I see zig zag patterns as a kind of stripe gone wild! They are so fun to wear.  I’ve been a Missoni fan since I was a kiddo and no zig zag post would be complete without thanking them for opening the zig zag painted door  for  fellow designers to take inspiration from. I prefer to wear zig zags with solids , sometimes I wear all black with my Missoni flats or a zig zag dress with beige strappy flat sandals and when I’m feeling extra zesty, I’ll pick a color from the zig zag piece that I’m wearing and pair it with a matching flat or clutch to bring it all together for a bold & bright look. Here are some fun zig zag looks to shop.

Zig zag scarf ($6.99), Long sleeve top ($17.80) and black & grey cardigan* Plus size($22.80) all available at Forever21.

Pastel Sleeveless bright zig zag top($39.39) and zig zag loose fit top($35.81) both available at Asos.

Dress with grey detail and self tie belt($42.99) available at Piperlime.

Bangle($22) available at Piperlime.

Missoni Ballet flats($432) available at Bloomingdale’s
