Talking why you need a Breton top, plus styling tips.

Fun fact…Breton striped shirts were originally worn by French sailors as their official uniforms in the mid 1800’s, and it came with exactly 21 stripes that signified the victories of Napoleon’s military. However, Coco Chanel transitioned the Breton into the world of fashion while fashion icons, in the likes of Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn catapulted it into fame. Fast forward to today, they have become classics.

The allure and versatility of the Brenton striped top cannot be over emphasized. In my opinion, it is as basic as jeans, blazers, and a pair of sneaks. A classic.  They pair well with virtually every outfit…from jeans to kakis, to skirts, or as a stand alone statement piece. Additionally, it also layers well as a contrasting pattern/print with a dress or vest. Sio I  say, invest in one today, and thank me later.

I am channelling my inner Parisian chic vibes. The Parisian vibe is a look that exudes an air of glam, and understated elegance with the most effortless, and uncomplicated outfits. I admit, I may be a tad bit obsessed with the Parisian look, so if you missed my previous posts on this topic, you can check it out here and here. A simple classic look of red, black, and animal print.

This Breton turtle neck, red wool wide leg pants, and animal print booties…can’t get anymore classic than that. Further, I added this wool Fedora hat for interest and a little attitude.

Alternative Styling Tips

The possibilities are endless…but whichever way you choose to style it, own it and rock it with poise and confidence!
