Today is day number 51 of The One Hundred Project : Striped Sailor Shirt Nina says, No self-respecting Frenchwoman, Frenchman, or French film lacks a striped sailor shirt. Jean Paul Gaultier seems to always be wearing one. And one of the Gaultier’s models will usually parade down the catwalk in some sort of version of the shirt, every time. The striped sailor shirt is one of those items that embodies French chic, and it completely disarms that old myth that horizontal stripes are not flattering. When they are worn with a boatneck and French attitude, they are the most flattering lines in the world (Garcia, 2008). Striped sailor shirts are my go-to for casual chic. They are so easy and sophisticated with everything from jeans to a navy mini-skirt. The proper name for the sailor striped shirt is the Breton, since it originated in Brittany, France. The seamen of Brittany had been donning this classic since the 1820s

Striped sailor shirts are my go-to for casual chic. They are so easy and sophisticated with everything from jeans to a navy mini-skirt. The proper name for the sailor striped shirt is the Breton, since it originated in Brittany, France. The seamen of Brittany had been donning this classic since the 1820s. It was said that the blue and white stripes helped an overboard man to be more easily located by a rescue team. Even then, the shirt was supposed to help you stand out. Do you have a striped sailor top? What do you wear yours with?
For examples google Jean Seberg Breathless or Brigitte Bardot Stripes.
