My obsession, like everyone else’s I’m sure, started with that popular striped jumper, which was originally released last spring and has since been a regular sellout each time it’s restocked, probably thanks to so many influencers and editors showing us how chic it can make a simple outfit look. This spring, Arket has doubled down on the nautical-inspired marinière and applied stripes to everything from basic T-shirts to chunkier knits, cardigans and shirts, and I, for one, am not complaining.
Stripes are, after all, one of the easiest ways to make an outfit look expensive and polished. The Breton has been around for over a century for good reason, and it remains central to the effortlessness of French-girl style (which, of course, we’re always looking to for outfit inspiration). Just add one to your favourite jeans and jacket, and instantly, you’ve got a perfect transitional look for this time of year. I’ve been a stylist for almost 10 years, and it’s still my go-to combination on those mornings when I have a wobble in front of my wardrobe.
