Stripes are so synonymous with good style that many interior designers (ourselves included) treat them as a neutral. Come spring, they’re practically a prerequisite, whether in the form of a slightly rumpled, beach-ready button-down or, more compellingly, into the outdoor space.
Of course, not all stripes read the same. Some skew sartorial with fine, almost imperceptible pinstripes, while others go full country club, sporting cabana-scale backyard bands that all but call for lemonade.
Few brands navigate this outdoor trend spectrum quite like Business & Pleasure Co., the Australian lifestyle label channeling vintage California ease and coastal Australian polish into a fully realized outdoor living room, complete with loungers, sofas, and slipcovers designed to revive what you already own.
Even the pool, once a reliably dismal design zone, is finally redrawing its lines – with brands like Funboy turning out fashion-cred floaties that could just as easily live on land, alongside a new crop of pop-up cabanas and beach bars that might as well be summering in St. Tropez.
Stripes on stripes, we don’t discriminate. Ahead, shop the most enduring outdoor pattern of all.
