Create your own iconic sweater featuring the timeless Breton stripes. Traditionally described as a cotton top with blue stripes, the Breton style originated from French navy uniforms in the late 1800s. Inspired by this trend, this sweater incorporates stripes with a modern twist – a relaxed fit and an off-the-shoulder neckline.
