STYLE NOTES:

  • SHOW YOUR STRIPES: Put a new spin on the classic Breton top from body-hugging Henley to collared and cosy roll neck styles.
  • KEEP IT POLISHED: Elevate classic navy/white colourways with hardware accents like brass buttons, loafer horsebits or chainlink jewellery.
  • TOE THE LINE: Steer away from yachtie cosplay and swap out flats for a pair of chic platforms.
  • YES, CAPTAIN: Upgrade that tired beanie with a trending sailor cap.
