Instead of customizing your clothes with plaid, apliiq has picked out the top 5 stripes fabric prints that we hold. Add stripes on your tank top. Add zig-zags on your hoodie.

Last year, a study on stripes was released and won BBC’s Amateur Scientist of the Year award. Most of us know that wearing vertical stripes is visually slimming and wearing horizontal stripes can make us look wider. (In 2008, a different study on the effects of vertical versus horizontal stripes produced the opposite result). Fact or not, it’s pretty awesome to see fashion and science intersecting.
Check out our top 5 stripes patterns for your urban clothing.
Release your inner scientist and conduct your own experiment with striped fabrics. Test out to see if the punkin fabric print makes your chest stand out and if the treazuretown fabric print makes you look taller. Whether vertical or horizontal, these fabric prints will stripe up your day.
