Items like a good striped <b>skirt</b>. Asking us to re-look at a familiar design in a new light, this mid-rise, gabardine piece is subtly carefree and nautical and arrives at just the righ time, with crisp banker&#39;s stripes being such a focus on the SS17 catwalks. Make it a warm-weather replacement for your leather mini.
