The Look: Stripes are everywhere lately; it doesn't matter if you're looking at runway shots from Spring 2011 shows or browsing around your local boutique, the nautical trend has definitely set sail. However, not all of us want to rock the preppy at-sea trend for most of the summer. Kim Kardashian shows us that stripes can also take on an urban, edgy vibe. With simple accessories and boots that have attitude, you can pull off the same outfit as the Armenian beauty.

Getting It Right: Avoid the sailor look by selecting a top in black and ivory with thick horizontal stripes. Toughen it up by adding pewter-hued skinny jeans tucked into seriously bad-ass closed-toe wedges. Keep it simple up top with a lightweight, loose black cardigan or blazer with a pair of classic aviators. Throw in some glitz with an interlocking gold necklace. Want to take the look all the way? Score some beautiful curls like Kim's raven locks by using some volumizing spray before putting one-inch sections in hot rollers. Leave them in for 20 minutes, then let them loose.
