Stripes traditionally bring thoughts to mind such as, preppy, sailors, Elvis (just me?), but these days stripes are getting a little more cool cred. As seen on celebs like Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth, both of The Hills, and Harry Potter's Emma Watson, black and white stripes look fresh for fall.

When going for stripes, keep things basic and neutral in the rest of your outfit. Jeans are a great compliment, as seen on the lovely ladies above, as well as anything black, white or navy. I would recommend adding color with an accent piece, such as a bright bag, or vibrant necklace.

Whether bold and thick, or thin and dainty, stripes can easily go from day to night. Take some cues from these fashionable females for how to rock the trend. Wear 'em a blazer or leather jacket for night, and a simple sweater for day. However you wear it, stripes are sure you get you noticed, and probably put a smile on someone's face. I mean, who can deny their love for Jailhouse Rock?
