An elevated take on the Breton top, Saint Laurent’s black and white striped sweater feels elegant and considered in equal measure. It’s knitted in Italy from a sumptuous blend of cotton and wool to a relaxed fit with a round neck, a buttoned shoulder and ribbed cuffs. Style it with shorts and slingback pumps for a polished look.
Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury ready-to-wear. Today, the iconic label is fronted by Anthony Vaccarello, who aims to explore Saint Laurent’s early years through his creations.
Vogue UK Digital Fashion Writer, Alice Cary says: “There’s no doubt that Breton has stood the test of time. Sailor stripes are a one-way ticket to nailing laissez-faire French-girl style; proving just as suitable for modern-day fashion plates as Breton was for the French navy in the 19th-century”. 25 August 2021.
