I have learned that stripes going horizontal ad width to a frame. While vertical stripes can add length to a frame. Either way you need to know what compliments your figure.
Personally a smaller busted woman could wear a horizontal striped blouse and it would enhance her features. While larger breasts appear to look stretched with no dimension to give them shape or lift. A shorter torso can benefit from the lines a striped blouse offers by making the silhouette appear narrower and long.

Stripes are classic and have been shown throughout the decades on both men and women. Black and white is simple and understated while colorful stripes grab a viewers attention. Here I have tucked my 40’s repro blouse into high waisted trousers. SHOP HERE This helps to further emphasize my waist and create a feminine physique.
To negate a ‘jail bird’ look find pieces that are nipped in at the waist and emphasize your figure. Little details such as a bow at the neckline, or a brooch are great ways to feminize a striped shirt. However, tailored men striped shirts can make a bold masculine statement and are easily worn when tucked into fitted trousers or peeking out of a tailored jacket.

Have fun and experiment. Stripes come on shirts, pants, skirts, and dresses. Play around with different designs, add a personal touch with a scarf or brooch, and buy what enhances your figure.
