"If you don&amp;#x27;t already own a nautical striped top, it&amp;#x27;s time to get your hands on one. Not just because Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Rag &amp;amp; Bone (and Tiffany!) have all declared the trend is in for spring, but because we&amp;#x27;ve got three adorable, affordable outfit ideas--all built around one $28 sailor stripe top--after the jump. Horizontal sailor stripes flatter just about every figure, can be found on the super-cheap (we&amp;#x27;re starting with this $28 BDG top from Urban Outfitters), and are as versatile as your favorite pair of jeans. Here are three smart ways to wear &amp;#x27;em all spring long: #1: Pair it with something red. You don&amp;#x27;t need to be Kate Moss in genuine Chanel to pull this look off (although getting a bit of inspiration from her isn&amp;#x27;t a bad place to start!). Her 3/4 sleeve jacket lets just enough of those graphic stripes show, and if a British girl can conjure up this much Americana in her version, imagine how positively patriotic you&amp;#x27;ll look in yours! If a tweed jacket isn&amp;#x27;t your speed, opt for cherry-red patent ballet flats, a scarlet handbag, or even a pair of red capri pants. C&amp;#x27;est chic! #2: Add a military jacket and a super-glam necklace: Combine two of this season&amp;#x27;s biggest trends (olive-drab army garb and nautical), then top &amp;#x27;em off with an unexpected piece of bling. The contrast between the neutral jacket, preppy shirt, and totally wow necklace will have heads turning. Finish it off with skinny jeans (or a denim skirt) and flat sandals: Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! #3: Don&amp;#x27;t be afraid of a bit of shimmer. Still haven&amp;#x27;t found a way to wear that sequined skirt you bought for New Year&amp;#x27;s Eve again? Dress it down by wearing it with your nautical striped top for a Friday night out with the girls. Throw a boyfriend blazer on top, add a pair of non-matching candy-colored stilettos, and prepare to be complimented on your chic style: So dolls, have you already bought your nautical stripe top for spring?
