The Budget Bambino

What: Stripes—zebras shouldn’t have all the fun . . .

What we say: Girls have polka dots this season as a go-to pattern, so it is only fitting that boys have stripes as their trendy clothing design. After seeing a photo of Gwyneth Paltrow’s son Moses sporting a cool striped sweater, we thought that stripes are a fun, fashionable style for this season on everything from outerwear to accessories.

This Piece-Striped sweatshirt from Old Navy ($14.99) is reminiscent of the diagonal scuba diving logo, making it a sporty way to wear this stripe trend. Simple, comfy, and colorful, this one is sure to be a favorite. (You can also tone down the sporty look by paring this sweatshirt with a cool hat)

For prepsters, we love this Striped Rugby Polo from Target ($9.99) which not only perfectly embodies the trend, but also has cool accents, like a crest-shaped patch and true rugby shirt white collar.

We also love this Striped Rugby Scarf from Gap Kids ($14.50). Alternating grey and navy, this accessory is classic, yet hip, understated, yet trendy.
