why we love stripes

A Breton stripe is a much loved favourite here at Celtic & Co. and is a specific type of pattern featuring horizontal stripes, typically in navy blue and white. The Breton stripe originated from the maritime heritage of Brittany, a region in France and was originally worn by French sailors in the 19th century as part of their naval uniform.

Striped co-ords are a fantastic addition to any wardrobe, offering both style and convenience. Matching sets take the guesswork out of outfit planning, and allow you to look put together with minimal effort. Pair this set with denim shorts for a cool summer look or style separately for unlimited outfit ideas!

Striped dresses can be a great way to wear stripes if you are unsure how to style pattern. A timeless staple that brings both versatility and charm to any wardrobe, the stripes create a flattering silhouette on all body types. For a summer outfit just pair with some sandals and there you have it! A fun and stylish outfit! To transition to the evening add a light jacket. or layer with a slouchy knit.

We think that textured stripe jumpers are a wardrobe essential, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The unique textures of these yarns add depth and interest to the classic stripe pattern, making these jumpers stand out in any outfit. For a laid-back look, pair with linen trousers and espadrilles. Or for cooler summer evenings, these textured knits team perfectly layered over a flowy midi dress with some strappy sandals. 

Stripes are a great choice for creating effortlessly stylish casual outfits. Their timeless appeal and versatility make them a go-to pattern for laid-back looks, adding visual interest without being overly bold, making them perfect for everyday wear.
