Marc Jacobs celebrated label had an unambiguous focus on stripes for Spring/Summer 2013 - and predicted that the stores and magazines would be filled with parallel lines for spring. All hail the power of that man!
It strikes my mind how James Dean, Pablo Picasso and Rudolf Nureyev appeared in classic breton stripes and made them iconic. Not to metnion Coco Chanel, the true pioneer of nautical versions.

| Playing dress up after looking into my drawers and cabinets for striped favorites! Layering my mattress striped blazer over a woolen nautical cardigan, a favorite canvas shirt over washed out "blue collars" with breton stripes underneath. Topping it of with satin ties and bows and the inevitable pocket square. All in worn in blue hues. |
