Breton chic

Chanteuse Francoise Hardy personified style for me back in the 60s. In this iconic photo she wears the simple striped t-shirt that was typical of her classic and rather androgynous style.  Fast forward to 2011 and Breton style t-shirts are everywhere again - but if the thought of wearing horizontal stripes makes you run for the hills then think again. It is possible to wear this left bank chic look on less than perfect bods if you stick to narrow stripes. I bought this £10 one from Gap (it comes in a long sleeve version too) and it looks great with jeans and a classic black jacket. Tres chic n'est pas?
