Apologies, Polka Dots; this is the even more stylish nail art design I'm saving for fall.

      If you enjoy frequently refreshing your nails, I can imagine that keeping up with the latest nail trends often feels like a full-time job. One moment, we’re aiming for clean-girl soap nails, and the next, it’s graphic polka dots that take the spotlight. Perhaps you’ve just collected a variety of luxurious organza nail designs on your Pinterest board, only to find that the trendsetter Hailey Bieber has already moved on, prompting us to return to milky nails. There’s no denying that nail trends change rapidly, and autumn nail trends seem to change even faster. Fortunately, I, along with the rest of the Who What Wear UK team, who consider tracking nail trends part of our job, are here to share our insider insights with you.

      For instance, when I noticed a surge of stylish striped nail designs appearing on my feed recently, I knew I had to share this with you right away. It all started with a set of striped French tips, seen on Kylie Jenner and labeled the "twisted French" by celebrity manicurist Zola Ganzorigt, which has quickly expanded in popularity. Now, it appears that striped nail art may soon surpass trending polka dot styles as the most fashionable graphic manicure to try this autumn.

      In light of this change, I have compiled 17 striped nail designs that are sure to inspire your next visit to the nail salon. From vibrant designs featuring unique color combinations to monochrome looks inspired by Kylie, there’s a striped nail design for every preference and style. Continue scrolling to check them out…
