There are thousands of patterns: floral, polka dot, checkered, and the famous stripes! It's THE pattern that never goes out of style. Stripes have always been in our wardrobes; we love them in summer and winter, day and night.

A BIT OF HISTORY?

We all know this pattern thanks to the famous sailor's striped shirt, it was a work uniform called "tricot rayé" (striped knit) at the time. For a little history, it primarily served as underwear; men didn't have boxers or briefs, so it provided them with protection.

It was then in 1917 that Coco CHANEL launched the "marinière" (sailor shirt) trend! For the era, it was quite shocking: She repurposed a masculine work garment for women to wear!

And finally, it was Jean Paul Gaultier who revived the idea for his fashion show in 1978. The marinière became the flagship item of his collection. And it even became the piece that launched his career! Today, he never abandons it and continues to imagine new clothes around this print.

It was from these years that stripes became one of the most popular patterns in fashion!

 

 

WHAT STRIPED LOOKS TO ADOPT?

For men:

The striped pattern is made for you, gentlemen! Vertical, horizontal, two-tone or multicolored, they are among the great classics, there is something for everyone!

1- In winter, opt for a thin striped shirt. It will be perfect for the office, both sophisticated and simple: it's the perfect combo! Wear it with a suit and dress shoes. For a daytime look, wear it with raw denim jeans, a leather belt, and sneakers. Trendy and timeless, the casual chic men's shirt with stripes is an essential item for your winter wardrobe.

2- In summer, we prefer thicker and more colorful stripes! This is THE season when you can dare, so take advantage! For the more timid, choose a sleeveless shirt with thin stripes, but with a warm color like red, for example. Wear it with raw denim jeans and loafers for a beach-like style.

 

 

For women:

Stripes are found on sweaters, t-shirts but also on pants or skirts! They come in all colors, some pieces more sophisticated than others, but one thing is for sure, ladies, you will find what you are looking for!

In winter, opt for a striped sweater, both simple and effective. It can be worn with a skirt for a more glamorous look, but also with trousers for a more casual style. A pretty chic women's sweater with a striped pattern, paired with a skirt or trousers, will certainly make an impression.

There's also the unbeatable striped shirt, which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years: it's THE must-have item in your wardrobe! Wear a striped shirt with jeans and sneakers during the day, and with tailored trousers for the office. It's the perfect look!

 

 

In summer, dare to wear a striped dress; it adds movement to your silhouette. There are vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, thick or thin stripes, in bright colors: it's up to you to choose! The casual chic dress with striped patterns is the essential piece to have in your summer wardrobe.

We prefer colorful stripes to enhance a tan; they will give a happier look to your outfit.
