Stride into spring wearing classic, crisp Breton stripes. Teamed with skinny jeans, colourful flats and a touch of sparkly jewellery, it is the perfect outfit for channeling that particularly French brand of effortless daytime style. Did you know that the Breton stripe has been a sartorial staple of chic Parisians since 1917 when Coco Chanel famously transformed a fisherman’s top into the iconic piece?

Thank you 🙂 xx
LOVE! I think I’ve pinned a couple of those too! 🙂
They’re great. And thanks for the follow on Pinterest – I don’t use it all the time but when I do it’s so addictive I’m on there for hours thinking ‘just one more..’ xx
I’m the same way.

Stripes work every time. Spring has sprung and I’m seeing daffodils!
I know, it’s great. Fingers crossed all this talk of snow (!?) goes away! xx
I’m a huge fan of stripes all year round!:) I’m loving Whitney Port’s sequined striped outfit! Thanks for sharing. xoxo, Donna
Me too, it’s my favourite pattern. xxx
