The Striped T-Shirt Alternative

• I especially like the python print, but I don’t seem to ever tire of nautical stripes.

• I’m with you about those nautical stripes. I find a too busy top, too busy.

• Love these tops. I am a little tired of the ubiquitous striped tops. Maybe because my closet is full of them.

• How can any chic woman or man grow tired of a Breton tee? It is the epitome of chic!! The tops shown above are okay but they don’t compare to the classic Breton tee. There is a reason why those navy and cream stripes caught the eye of Coco Chanel–they always look modern, minimalist and sophisticated. Plus I love the utilitarian quality of the classic Breton–everyone can afford some version of it and I’ve yet to see someone look bad in a Breton! Take a look at pictures of Coco, Picasso, Audrey, Bardot, Jean Seberg, Cary Grant etc. in their Bretons–the ease and elegance is beyond and could never be achieved by wearing a python print tee or that other zigzag thing up there. Long live the Breton!!!

• I’m just a wee tad tired of them…

• Hopefully the Breton trend will go away and the style will go back to being a true classic.

• I love your blog Preston!! Agree or disagree with the suggestions it really has helped clarify my style choices. Frankly, I had no idea how passionately I felt for the Breton until this very afternoon. Long live Keep it Chic!!

• Sometimes a girl just needs a break! These are fab and I’m not even a “snake person”. I don’t think you are getting rid of the classics but just changing it up?
