Just like the seaside, a crisp Breton stripe has never lost its ability to charm us.

Whether worn as a casual T-shirt, trendy Bardot top or neatly tailored dress it has the ability to instantly imbue the sophistication of the French Riviera into your outfit.

Add this season’s white slider sandals or some classic espadrilles and your sailor girl chic look is anchors aweigh!
