A stripe is a line or band that differs in color or tone from an adjacent area. Stripes are a group of such lines in a repeating pattern of similar regions.

History

The early history of stripes in fashion is unclear. However, in medieval Europe, a stigma existed against wearing striped clothing. During the 13th century, Carmelites monks are thought to have worn brown and white stripes. For more than 25 years, the monks resisted orders from eleven successive popes to give up their cloaks, only succumbing to Pope Boniface VIII's ban of striped clothing from all religious orders.^[1]

The stigma of wearing stripes persisted as late as the 18th century, being associated with Europe's “outcast” population, such as prostitutes, clowns, hangmen, heretics, and lepers. Beginning in the 19th century, Europe began to embrace the Neo-classical style.^[2]^[3]

In the United States during this time, the stripe's stigma was well entrenched. This led to prisoners wearing a Prison uniform of black and white stripes for both humiliation and to discourage escape attempts. This practice continued until the early 20th century, when striped uniforms were slowly phased out by the United States.^[4]

Stripes entered mainstream western fashion in the roaring twenties, particularly in men's clothing like the pinstripe Suit. Stripes frequently appeared as part of school uniforms as well, first at public schools, then at universities.^[5] Fashion designer Coco Chanel incorporated stripes in her designs, having been inspired by the Marinière worn by French seamen.^[1]

Usage and appearance

As a pattern (more than one stripe together), stripes are commonly seen in nature, food, emblems, clothing, and elsewhere.

Two-toned stripes inherently draw one's attention, and as such are used to signal hazards. They are used in road signs, barricade tape, and thresholds.

In nature, as with the zebra, stripes may have developed through natural selection to produce motion dazzle.^[6]^{[failed verification]}

Stripes may give appeal to certain sweets like the candy cane.

For hundreds of years, stripes have been used in clothing.^[7] Striped clothing has frequently had negative symbolism in Western cultures.^[7] Historian Michel Pastoureau explores the cultural history of these design decisions in the book, The Devil's Cloth.^[7]
