If you have been by our store recently I’m sure you have seen our new assortment of striped tees ranging in all sorts of fun colors by the brand Kule. Kule stripes make really cool stripes! (I had to.) But really, she does. A seasoned collector and admirer of stripped tops, Kule was founded by Nikki Kule in 2001, originally as a child’s line, to bring back the classic striped top with bold European influences. Then later, in 2011, she introduced a women’s collection and we couldn’t be more happy that she did so!Nikki has a rich background in fashion; her parents were the creators of the 1970s line Happy Legs, she went to Parsons School of Design in both New York and Italy, and she was a guest designer for Brooks Brothers. Nikki describes the motivation of her brand as the “modern preppy aesthetic.”One of my favorite things about a striped top is how it can be season-less with the right styling and accessorizing. Here are a few of our takes on how you can wear these tops now and later, come fall. Enjoy and come get a Kule shirt for you wardrobe. You won’t be sorry!
