Ahoy there : A little about the “Breton”, Many thanks to Coco Chanel. The striped blue and white was originally adopted in 1858 as the French naval sailor’s uniform. At the time, all the French navy hailed from Brittany, so the shirt was coined the “Breton” shirt and displayed 21 stripes (one for each of Napoleon’s victories against the British). In 1917, Coco Chanel was inspired by the sailor’s clothing and used it in her nautical fashion line. Her Breton top as a stark contrast to the more “boring designs” of the time. By the 1930s, the Breton stripe had been elevated to “haute couture” status, and has endured ever since. Today, stripes have earned their “stripe” as a wardrobe ‘must-have’: they are considered a foundation piece defying trends, age brackets and sexes.
