I'll pass on the railroad stripes

The latest trend to hit women's denim is the blue and white "railroad" pinstripe. This is one of those styles that I like in theory, but will never wear. Why? Honestly they make me feel like I'm wearing farm work clothes, no matter how expensive they are or how much I love the brand. Plus, I rarely see the railroad stripes pulled off successfully on anyone else. In theory, they're supposed to look fresh, crisp, and even fit in with the latest nautical trend. But in practice, the stripes usually end up feeling juvenile, awkward, and overpowering.

Think you can pull off railroad stripes? You're a braver woman than I am. The Seven for Mankind railroad stripe capri's shown on the right are available from Nordstrom's for $108.00.
