Breton stripes are back this summer. Oi oi sailor. The best examples on show for SS18 were straight, narrow and deployed across T-shirts, short-sleeved shirts and loose fit trousers. When creating your look, one vertically striped piece at a time is definitely enough. If you try anymore it just doesn’t work and whatever striped item you are wearing team with neutral colour tones like beige or light denim. Did you know the term Bretton was derived from Brittany when the 1858 Act of France introduced the navy and white striped knitted shirt as the uniform for all French navy seaman in Brittany. The original Bretton design featured 21 stripes, one for each of Napolean’s victories.
