When French style enters my mind, I cannot leave out the essential item of stripes. From the classic Breton or Marinière with the stylish boatneck to modern twists on the classic – the Mélange Paréo from La Ligne ideal for the beach (seen above) to the sleeveless v-neck handkerchief top from Banana Republic, stripes are timeless. The key to discover what works best on your body, with your skin tone and for your lifestyle.
Today I have compiled a list of eleven different brands to shop for quality stripe options available at a variety of price points. While I have included images to shop directly, each of the links will take you to the entire selection of stripe tops, dresses, bottoms, etc. available in a variety of different colors and designs.
And to complete your seasonal capsule wardrobe, be sure to peruse TSLL Capsule Wardrobe Shop where I have hand-selected items for both fall and spring.

I bought a Breton-striped top at Printemps in Paris many moons ago. One of my early trips. It held up for DECADES. Often, the store brands of the venerable French “grands magasins” offer great quality at an easy price.
Thank you for sharing even more places to find quality items. Sounds like a worthwhile purchase. 🙂
Love the stripes!
