It seems to have got somewhat chilly outside there in the real world away from The Established Man towers, where rest assured it's as toasty as can be, but we can't help thinking about the summer. One hope's its only a mere turn around the corner and we're there but this being the Great British Isles who knows really?
As soon as the air starts to get warmer here we're the first ones to perform the grand swap and jig our wardrobe towards shorts, espadrilles and plentiful lazy shirts and tees. A sure fire staple of our day to day wardrobe is the venerable and classic that is the Breton top. Here's a favorite with the girls at Vogue when they're not writing features on Poo..weird that one no? But it's a unisex, ageless garment that anyone can happily whip on; and no you need not a drop of French blood in you to wear one, trust us.
There are so many guises of this shirt of the sailing fraternity that you'll be spoilt for choice and especially this coming season, its a fan for the buyers of both ladies and menswear. For the true original head to Arthur Beale on Shaftsbury Avenue who stock the Saint James' version but on the fashion front there's no let up with A.P.C, H&M, Uniqlo and Topshop all putting there versions out there. Reiss did a fine red and white version last year we grabbed in duty free en route to the South of France, we like a winter version in the Albam chunky knit with shoulder buttons and how can we forget the Prada take on breton several seasons ago with their fish print shirts and accessories. Crown on the fashionable front must be to the Comme De Garcons PLAY version...perfect for Valentines too what with the little red heart keeping its beady eyes out.
