The Striped Shirt Takes the White Tee's Chair This Fall

Harper's Bazaar is making a case for the striped shirt as the season's everyday workhorse. The argument is simple: the piece can do the same quiet, go-with-anything job the white tee has long held, and do it with a bit more to look at. For a Palm Beach or Beverly Hills wardrobe heading into autumn, that means the stripe earns the slot usually reserved for plain cotton, worn as the foundation rather than the finishing touch. The magazine's point is that there is no single correct way to style it, which is rather the appeal.
