What has fashion, on the streets of France got to do with sub Saharan Africa? Oh! la la!


I guess if zebras were colored navy blue, then the answers would have been simple. Its the Breton stripe shirt.

How did the striped shirt transcend into the fashion highway, from the seaside of Brittany in France?  The popularity started among ordinary fishermen, and dating back to the 1858, the France Navy formally adopted the striped shirt, requiring the navy in Breton to wear navy blue and white stripe shirts for easy identification on sea.


When Coco Channel visited the sailors of Breton, she took noticed of their awesome uniform, which eventually inspired her 1917 style collection. This revolutionized the Breton shirts on the streets.Considered as an all seasonal trend. Breton shirts are a must have for the fabulous.
