Some prints make a comeback every season, and then there are stripes, which simply never go out of style. This spring-summer 2026, we see them livelier, fresher, and more versatile than ever. At Mardemar Barcelona, we love them because they have the ability to transform a simple look into one with intention, without losing naturalness. They are that perfect balance between trend and wardrobe staple that we seek so much when the warm weather arrives.
Stripes work especially well when the brighter months arrive, as they bring dynamism, color, and a relaxed vibe that fits perfectly with how we like to dress in spring and summer. In our new collection, we find striped garments in blouses, t-shirts, shirts, trousers, polo shirts, and fine sweaters, which shows that this trend is not limited to a single silhouette but adapts to different ways of dressing and different times of the day.
Striped blouses and shirts: the easiest way to elevate a look
If there's one garment that perfectly summarizes this trend, it's the pink striped blouse. It has a straight design, a Mandarin collar, a front button closure, and puffed short sleeves, with a vertical striped fabric in pink tones that adds light and a feminine touch without being excessive. We think it's ideal for those who want to incorporate stripes in a delicate, flattering, and easy-to-combine way.
We can wear it with light jeans, white trousers, or even a plain skirt if we want a softer and more romantic result. Furthermore, within the shirts category, this type of garment fits perfectly for those days when we're looking for something more polished than a t-shirt, but just as comfortable.
Another option with a lot of personality is the orange striped shirt. This type of garment has enough strength to become the star of the look without needing to add much else. We especially like it for creating transitional outfits with neutral trousers, denim, or even layered open with a basic t-shirt underneath. It's one of those pieces that bring color, energy, and a very modern touch.
Striped t-shirts: the basic that takes center stage again
Striped t-shirts are one of those garments that always feel good to bring back when temperatures rise. This season, they return with force because they fit with that more relaxed, spontaneous, and bright way of dressing that inspires us so much. In our t-shirts category, we find easy-to-combine garments, designed for everyday wear, and with a lot of mileage in the wardrobe.
The red striped t-shirt seems like a very special choice to liven up simple looks. It has that casual air that works great with jeans, flowing trousers, or shorts, and it also introduces color in a very natural way. When we want to be comfortable but not fall into the usual, a t-shirt like this solves a lot.
We also love the blue and white striped t-shirt, because it captures all that Mediterranean essence that fits so well with Mardemar Barcelona. Blue and white never fails in spring-summer: it conveys freshness, brightness, and visual cleanliness. It's one of those pieces that we can wear today, next month, or next summer, and it will still work just as well.
Striped trousers and polo shirts: when the print takes center stage
Stripes don't just stay on the upper part of the look. This season, we also see them in garments with more presence, capable of building the outfit almost by themselves. A good example is the wide green striped trousers, a piece that provides movement, comfort, and a lot of personality. Within the trousers category, this type of design fits perfectly with the idea of dressing comfortably without giving up a special touch.
We like it because it visually slims, feels fresh for the warmer months, and allows for very complete looks with very little effort. Just combine it with a plain t-shirt, a simple blouse, or sandals to create an intentional outfit. It's one of those garments that show that stripes can also be sophisticated and flattering when they appear in more fluid and wide formats.
Another very interesting proposal is the black striped polo shirt. We love it because it introduces a more polished version of the trend, ideal for those who prefer a more sober or urban look. The polo shirt has that balance between informal and smart that allows it to be worn with straight trousers, denim, or simple skirts.
Fine striped sweaters: the light layer that still makes sense in summer
Although we think of spring-summer as a season for light clothing, there's always room for a thin layer to accompany us on cool evenings, a weekend getaway, or on those days when we don't want to be too exposed. That's where the fine pink and yellow striped sweater comes in, a garment very much aligned with the cheerful and bright spirit of the season.
Within the cardigans and sweaters category, this piece fits very well due to its soft knit and its combination of stripes and color. We think it's perfect for wearing over the shoulders, combining with light trousers, or adding to a basic look when we want to give it a more special touch effortlessly.
The stripes that deserve a place in our wardrobe this season
What we like most about this trend is that it doesn't force us to dress in just one way. Spring-summer 2026 stripes can be soft or vibrant, classic or bolder, discreet or prominent. We can find them in garments we wear every day and also in pieces with more character, which makes them very easy to adapt to our real style. Mardemar's new collection precisely brings together this variety of new garments for the season.
If we wanted to summarize this trend in a single idea, it would be this: stripes are back to accompany us in comfortable, flattering, and very personal looks. From a blouse with a Mandarin collar to a sailor t-shirt, through wide trousers or a fine colored sweater, there are many ways to incorporate them into the wardrobe without feeling like we're dressed up in a trend. And that, for us, is exactly what makes a garment worthwhile.
At Mardemar Barcelona, we have designed this collection with precisely that in mind. To offer you garments that accompany you, adapt to your pace, and make you feel good at any time of the day.
Because in the end, the most important trend will always be this: feeling like ourselves in what we wear.
