The Rainbow Dad Shirt that Alyssa Wants to Live In
I've made my love of striped shirts very clear on this site over the years, but the bulk of my collection falls into one of two categories: black and white or blue and white. While that's chic and nautical and vaguely Parisian, I'll admit, it's also kind of boring. And I certainly hate to be boring, especially during the sunny summer months when I should be living it the hell up.
So, you can imagine my delight when I saw this J.Crew rainbow-striped linen shirt pop up while browsing Net-a-Porter this week. Not only does the button-up come in the slightly boxy silhouette that's ideal for sweltering summer days, but the candy colored stripes are undeniably charming. I mean, how could you not smile all day long walking around in this shirt? While the office consensus is that, yes, it's slightly dorky — Tyler says that her dad would "1000 percent wear it" — that doesn't matter to me one bit. I can't wait to tuck this baby into my high-waisted denim shorts and take a stroll through the park blasting the new Ariana Grande in my headphones. Happy summer, y'all.
J.Crew linen shirt, $80, available at Net-a-Porter.
