Horizontal stripes are known to be very slimming in the fashion world. Or at least that's what I think I heard on Will and Grace. They better be slimming because I'd rather buy striped shirts than stop eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer. OK, so maybe I could quit cheeseburgers, but beer is my jam. Vertical striped shirts don't have any apparent super powers, but they still make them for some reason.
No doubt that a white and black stripes are a very bold choice. It's the classic Parisian look, especially when worn with a beret and one of those paint palettes. It's no doubt someone might be rocking that style in public at any given point, but this bus stop has four white stripes? That's more white stripes than the band The White Stripes. They only have two!
