Choosing a Designer Striped Shirt Dress from Jasper Conran London
Stripes have always inspired Jasper Conran, and they play a big part in his style choices, both personally and professionally.
“I wear them in, practically, every sort of clothing I can get: jackets, trousers, socks, towelling robes. I have very old striped shirts that I’ve worn and worn. They’re frayed and battered, but in a funny way, they get better, and still give me the same amount of pleasure.” - Jasper Conran
They’re a staple of formal business wear, but can be incorporated into informal outfits by adding a pop of colour for you to enjoy on days out. It is often said that stripes are chosen by women who have a strong sense of self-worth; at Jasper Conran London, our designer striped shirt dresses come in various colours to provide different options for any woman looking to own her style.
