Stripes are the one print that never needs an explanation, and Thames Street is full of them right now. The Coastal Classic Stripe Sweater has been one of our best sellers for the last month, and it goes with almost everything we have on the rack.
Here is how we are wearing stripes this fall, from a cold Newport morning to a cool night in Kailua.
What goes with a stripe sweater?
Almost anything, and that is why it works. We finally brought the Coastal Classic to Kailua, so it is now in both stores and goes from a cold Newport morning to a cool island night. Wear it with your favorite jeans for a walk down Thames Street, or over denim shorts with flats. It comes in six colors, so grab the one that looks best with what is already in your closet.
What about cool nights in Kailua?
Hawaii cools off after sunset, and a stripe sweater is the layer we reach for. The Dockside Striped Sweater goes over shorts and slip-on sandals and gets you from the beach to dinner without a trip home.
Can the stripe go on the bottom half?
Yes. The Salty Stripes Mini Skirt looks great with a plain knit on top and tall socks, and it lets the stripe be the one thing people notice.
Three easy ways to wear stripes this fall
- Stripe and denim: Throw a stripe sweater over your favorite jeans and call it done.
- Stripe and neutrals: Keep everything else in cream, tan or black so the stripe does the talking.
- Stripe on stripe: Mix two widths, a thin one with a wide one, and keep the colors close.

The whole edit is in at 391 Thames St in Newport and online, and Kailua has its share too.
