Stripes for Summer Make Sense

There’s something about stripes in summer that feels effortless. Fresh, timeless, and easy to wear, they bring a sense of ease that works across so many moments — from everyday errands to relaxed summer outings.

Fashion Stylist Emelia Morris loves stripes for precisely this reason.

“Stripes for summer just make sense. They’re fresh, they’re classic, and they’re so easy to wear.”

This season, Leina + Fleur introduces a new stripe story — starting the year with completely new styles, crafted in beautiful fabrics, and designed with comfort at the forefront.

Meet the Nitelle Dress — A New Silhouette for Summer

If you love a throw-on-and-go dress, the Nitelle Dress is designed to become an instant favourite.

This brand-new silhouette plays with contrasting stripe directions to create interest while remaining flattering and easy to wear. Horizontal stripes through the bodice offer balance, while vertical stripes through the skirt create length and movement in a softly flowing A-line shape.

Gentle ruching through the straps adds a feminine touch without feeling restrictive. And yes — the Nitelle Dress includes pockets, because comfort and practicality matter.

The bodice is made from a soft, breathable bamboo jersey, while the skirt is crafted from luxurious Italian viscose satin, giving the stripes a refined finish that feels light, fluid, and elevated.

Bold Stripes, Made Easy

What makes the Nitelle Dress stand out is how effortless it feels to wear. The stripes are bold, but the design keeps them grounded — making the dress feel confident without being overwhelming.

As Emelia notes:

“When the cut is right, stripes are actually very flattering and really easy to wear.”

It’s a reminder that standout prints don’t need to feel intimidating — they just need thoughtful design.

Not a Dress Day? New Stripes, New Separates

For days when a dress isn’t the mood, Emelia styles the stripe story through the Scout Tees — a relaxed, easy option that still feels considered.

Made from lightweight Italian viscose, the Scout Tee features a rounded neckline and an easy, comfortable fit. It’s designed to be worn loose or styled with a small front tuck for a little extra shape.

Paired with the new Navy Shorts — also a brand-new style — this look sets the tone for the year ahead. Designed in soft jersey for comfort and movement, these shorts come in black and navy and are easy to wear, breathable, and completely iron-free.

Available in both Wide Leg and Straight Leg options, they offer choice without compromising comfort.

A New Season of Style — Designed for Comfort

This Summer Stripes capsule marks the beginning of the year with fresh silhouettes, beautiful fabrics, and thoughtful design.

Every piece is Australian-made, size-inclusive, and created to support real women and real lives — where comfort, confidence, and style work together seamlessly.

Because starting the year in pieces that feel good is always a good idea.
