FashionLove - Classy Basics 101 - The Breton Stripe Top

There are little as timeless pieces of clothing as the Breton Stripe top. Audrey and Marilyn loved it as much as nowadays celebrities. But why is this simple piece so timeless? Well maybe because you can dress it up and down however much you want. You can dress it up by wearing a black skirt and ballet flats or heels along with it, just as dressing it down by wearing it with casual boyfriend or skinny jeans and sneakers.

That's the awesome thing about the Breton, you can wear it with almost everything you want! The key is to find the right shape, colour and setting of stripes.

The same type works just as well with navy or red coloured stripes. These are just a few, of course there is so much more! One thing is sure that as long as the stripes match with the ground colour and aren't too off this is a bullet proof timeless piece to classy up your wardrobe!
