BASIC MATTER 24: NAUTICAL STRIPES

I have always admired anyone who can pull off nautical stripes and yes, Pia last night was on the spot – chic!

Popularized by Coco Chanel, nautical stripes are more like a fashion staple than a trend and have been worn by everyone - from the French who pair it with tapered, navy coats to style icon, Audrey Hepburn.

My mom is a big fan too. She would normally wear the classic, boxy marinière paired with more than 3 strands of pearls – definitely tres chic!
