The iconic Breton stripe traces its roots to the traditional uniform of the French navy, where its bold lines served a practical purpose at sea. In the early 20th century, Coco Chanel embraced this nautical style after time spent along the French coast, introducing it into women’s fashion. Her interpretation transformed a functional garment into a relaxed yet sophisticated staple, now widely recognized as a symbol of effortless elegance and coastal-inspired style.
