The flats: Flats are unlikely to go out of style any time soon, so it is safe to recommend you stock up with as many pairs as you can grab. Flats add something that no other article of clothing can to your outfit. They’re fun, fashionable, versatile and so, so comfortable. For the more exotic fashion tastes, they even come in zany designs, such as leopard print and stripes. Add fun and funk to your style with this year’s perfect accessory. An alternative favorite to flats are the slip-ons. Check out the Vans outlet store for a wide variety.
The stripe: You have to be careful with stripes; there used to be a giant taboo against wearing horizontal stripes because many people thought it made their midsections look wider. To avoid this, pick a piece that doesn’t focus completely on the stripe. You may be surprised by all the variety out there! If you are looking for someone who does it right, the outlet’s Tommy Hilfiger store is the place to go.
