Stripes have always been more than just a pattern to me—they’re a cornerstone of my personal style and a source of endless inspiration for my designs at SingleTree Lane. Bold, versatile, and timeless, stripes have captured my imagination since I was a teenager, and they continue to shape my creative journey to this day.

My High School Obsession with Stripes

My love for stripes started back in high school when I built an impressive collection of rugby tops from Britches of Georgetown. I couldn’t get enough of their clean lines, vibrant colors, and the way they exuded confidence and energy. These tops weren’t just clothes; they were a statement of individuality, something that set me apart and made me feel bold and self-assured.

When I headed off to Penn State University, I made sure to pack my rugby tops. They came with me through late-night study sessions, campus events, and long walks across campus, becoming part of my everyday life. Those tops were a constant reminder of how a simple pattern like stripes could bring both balance and excitement to my wardrobe—and to my life.

Why Stripes Inspire Me

Stripes are more than just a visual element—they’re symbolic of life’s contrasts and the balance we all strive to achieve. For me, the alternating lines represent the ups and downs, the calm and the chaos, and the beauty that comes from embracing both.

What I love most about stripes is their versatility. They can be bold or subtle, playful or sophisticated. They allow me to express my creativity while staying connected to a timeless aesthetic that resonates with so many people.
