EXACTLY WHAT IS THE CHEVRON STRIPE?
The chevron stripe is a zig zag v-shaped pattern. The word is usually
used in reference to a badge or insignia used in military or police
uniforms. It indicates the rank or length of service. It is also used in
heraldry with the chevron design used as the dominant image of the arm.
The chevron stripe has been used in architecture, pottery and rock
carvings as well.

design started becoming extremely popular last year, and it's presence
has only escalated since then. It is a pattern that can immediately
make any outfit fun, and it looks great on nearly everyone. Since
chevron stripes are so eye-catching, the pattern makes for strong
statement pieces. Have fun with this pattern and do what you do best –
wear it with
confidence!
