I have a few striped tops and think they look OK, just like any other top really!

But as others have said, I suppose it must depend on the cut of it.

I'm not a huge fan of stripes as a pattern in general, so I don't actually own any! I agree with everyone else, though- the cut is probably most important.

I bought a dress with horizontal stripes a few months ago. Looked cute in the dressing room, but I looked huge at home in my mirror. I bought the dress about 10-15lbs ago, and I recently tried it on, thinking it would look good on me now. Nope. I even asked my husband, who has been showering me with compliments on my figure lately, and he confirmed that it made me look heavier. Today I wore a tshirt with horizontal stripes, and I also felt very wide. In theory I like stripes, but practically speaking, I think that they don't flatter me.
