Nautical

The nautical style is a fresh, clean aesthetic inspired by sailors' uniforms and the atmosphere of the coast. Its recognisable marks: a white-and-blue (and red) palette, horizontal Breton stripes, gold buttons, sailor collars, anchors, double-breasted pea coats. The style was popularised as early as the start of the 20th century by Coco Chanel, inspired by sailors' clothing. The nautical style is associated with summer, holidays, freshness and effortless elegance. It combines the precision of a uniform cut with the lightness of a resort mood. The striped Breton top long ago became a timeless wardrobe classic. This style returns every summer as a symbol of the sea, freedom and aristocratic 'yachting' chic, remaining at once simple and unfailingly elegant.
