La Mariniere

Sailor style is fun, simple, dynamic and pretty non-conformist. It's a classic, timeless style, using functional pieces that no matter the fashion era they will always be trendy. The typical french-sailor striped t-shirt or "la marinière” has this big power of being always fashionable, and spring 2010 makes no exception. This year it's back again in a more classic way to give a chic touch to our wardrobes. Since Coco Chanel first discovered "la marinière", designers proposed their own versions. Givenchy did a number of striped jackets for its spring collection 2010.

There are a few timeless pieces that have survived throughout all fashion trends becoming essential items in our wardrobes. Genuine classic clothing piece, the t-shirt is characterized by plainness, comfort and versatility. Imagine how our lives would be without that basic t-shirt? It can be worn in so many fashionable ways and in every combination possible, giving us the opportunity to play with colors and shapes.
