“The Fashion Edit”: the Breton top

If there’s one thing you can depend on the French for, it’s looking effortlessly chic whatever the weather. French people (particularly those from Brittany) have been wearing the Breton top for years, and it’s a staple for any self-respecting summer wardrobe.

Wear it on work experience with tailored (flared!) trousers or tucked-in to a pencil skirt, wear with cute trousers and TOMS or shorts and sandals.
