There’s nothing more classic or timeless than a Breton-stripe jumper—it’s the perfect piece to take you through season upon season and works hard for so many occasions, be it daytime casual or evening attire and even workwear.
I love a versatile and rotational staple like this, and as we slowly make our way into spring, it’s the perfect piece to guide you through the transitioning weather. For those days when it looks sunny, but there’s still a chill in the air, it’s the one to reach for. It’ll keep you warm, while the monochromatic stripe pattern feels light and breezy. Plus, it’s über-chic!
There are endless ways to style a Breton-stripe knit, from layering it with shirts to dressing it up for an evening event. You can get your hands on so many different iterations of striped knits, depending on your style and what will go most with your existing wardrobe. From polo collars to deep-Vs or, one of my favourites, a high roll-neck, the options are practically limitless.
I opted for a style from H&M, which has a great boxy shape that allows for plenty of layering and multiple styling options. Although it’s now sold out, I’ve found an excellent alternative from & Other Stories. The high collar gives it a sophisticated feel—not only is it ideal for keeping snug in, but it also feels quite dressed-up! To attest to its versatility, below, I’ve styled it in five different ways, so keep reading to see all the possibilities and, should you like what you see, shop the looks.
