Early in her career, Coco Chanel spent time at the French seaside because she owned a hat-making shop in Deauville. This is where she drew inspiration from the sailors’ uniforms, incorporating their look into her nautical collection. At the seaside, the shirt was worn for work and comfort; Coco Chanel gave it urban chic. The Breton stripe top was to be forever associated with her because of the iconic 1928 photo below. Well, she looks quite chic bien sûr, but the woman needs a scarf to go with those stripes!

Stripes come in all different styles, from vertical pinstripes to the classic French marinière T-shirt with its distinctive bi-color horizontal stripes.They are considered one of the foundational prints for pattern-mixing because they are clean and graphic, and can function as a neutral background. If you want to “kick it up a notch” pair some stripes on stripes and see what happensThere's plenty of style inspiration going already with mod shots from @MAGJES and @greycity to get you going, so get in touch with your inner Coco Chanel and tie a scarf on some stripes, y'all!
My own casual wardrobe “uniform” (very suitable to Cape Cod!) is heavy on a collection of various marinières in many colors besides the classic blue and white. I also love a menswear button up shirt in a basic vertical stripe. Here's a favorite summer “look” -- Plumes en Fete with a Saint James marinière:

Stripes are indeed super fun to pattern mix with:
Glorious match!!!Quick post and run to make the taco beads! Yes- I am making taco beads for people with dogs named Taco, to be used on fancy show leads.
But for my walk this morning it was Jaguar Quetzal on a floral and animal print t-shirt (before the cold front comes in and knocks our temperatures back 40+ degrees tonight) Sleet is in the forecast for tomorrow....In Texas, you really do have to keep 2 or 3 seasons of clothes on the ready at all times.

A little stripe on stripe from last summer…
It looks like Princess Anne and I were on the same scarfing agenda, as I wore La Femme CSGM to a dinner last night
One of my fav designs - I also own a few 90s, including the same CW as on Princess Anne)))

Most of my stripe tops are summer wear and are packed away because the temperatures are in the single digits Fahrenheit these days. So here are a few examples from the archives.
Stars and Stripes with La Voie Lactee
For the Fourth of July with La Folle Parade
What scarf will go with this striped shirt? with Le Carnaval de Venise
And, black and white galore with Zebra Pegasus.
Today, I’m wearing a sedate pinstriped gray top with Duo Cosmique as my scarf of the day.
