Friday fashion fix: seven stripy buys!

A stripy tee dress + fedora hat and huge sunnies = the fool-proof summer uniform for right now. Great for the beach, city breaks and off-duty weekend, we're championing red stripes this week. More vibrant than navy, red and white stripes will cheer you up in an instant. Super chic and easy to wear, the humble T-shirt dress, sported very nicely here by Anne Hathaway (hers is by American Apparel), is easy peasy to dress up or down. And it always comes off with a certain effortlessness because essentially you're wearing a T-shirt! We can't praise them enough and better still, they're cheap as chips. Happy shopping...
