The time to wear striped shirts is now. Actually, it's always—there's never really a bad time to pull stripes out of your wardrobe. Something about the simple pattern has managed to stay within fashion without ever becoming too old-school or dated, and that's not something that all prints or patterns can say (I'm looking at you, animal prints of the 2010s).

In any way, shape, or form, a striped shirt is something you need to have in your wardrobe. There are striped tees to layer with in winter and dress down for summer, striped button-ups to wear to the office and to a date, striped long-sleeves to add a healthy dose of Parisian living into your everyday. I'm paraphrasing a certain iconic yellow sea sponge when I say that the best time to wear a striped shirt is all the time, but I'm certainly not lying.

Below, shop the 22 best striped shirts on the market right now. Dress 'em up, dress 'em down—the most important thing is that you're going to be wearing them all the damn time. Something about these stripes are just deliciously addictive.
