5 Easy ways to wear stripes this summer
How to pull of this perennial print trend in a variety of modern ways
Stripes are arguably the definitive summer motif and – unlike florals – a perennial print trend that all men should be comfortable wearing.
Here, we show you five new and easy ways to introduce stripes to your wardrobe this season, from the timeless Breton top to bold statement tees.
The Breton Top/T-Shirt
We couldn’t talk about stripes without mentioning this iconic menswear staple. Originally created as a uniform for the French Navy back in 1858, the Breton top has gone on to cement its place in the pantheon of menswear, proving a suave and sophisticated choice for off-duty days.
But we’re not going down the obvious route by telling you to wear it with jeans or chino shorts. Oh no – this season, why not dress yours up with slim-cut white trousers and a pair of suede Derbies? It’s a simple yet sophisticated combination that wouldn’t look out of place in the Cote D’Azur.
That said, we all know you can’t trust the British summertime, so if the weather looks changeable, reach for a lightweight unlined mac in complementing navy blue to ward off the inevitable showers.
