Life is not just summer vacation. But in the striped shirt we feel like that. For that we love it and discover it again and again
It's nothing but striped cotton - and so much more: the image of the sun, the beach and the rushing sea. The unspoilt Breton fisherman who wore it long before it became fashionable. The boyish character of a Pablo Picasso, who seduced the women even as an old man in a striped shirt. The awakening, the dynamic, the recklessness of a Coco Chanel staging herself in trousers and the "marinière rayée" (as the French call it) on the shoulders of her lover. The striped shirt, this baby bath fresh everyday uniform, evokes associations. Anyone who sees it immediately has pictures in their heads. That's what makes his magic so many, even if they once wore a shirt, stay loyal to the line.
The classic t-shirt, in which the French naval recruits still insist on boarding for the first few months, has always been the favorite of the international upperclass, meeting in fashionable coastal towns such as Newport, Brighton, Nice or Saint-Tropez. Especially where the sea was close and lured the life. The female fans of the Ringelshirts - such as the actress ChroniquesDuVasteMonde Bardot or the American millionaire Gloria Vanderbilt - especially appreciated his simple-sporty style and of course his maritime aura. But the real secret of the Breton body lies in the effect it exerts on its wearers. Women in striped shirts - no matter how wicked, hungover or un-sleeping they are - always envelop a certain innocent elegance. Why is that? On the one hand with the color combination, which is similar to the purity of a Nivea can. On the other hand, the simplicity of the ring shirt leaves much room for your own interpretations. It does not clutter up, does not cover anything, but becomes the perfect piece of clothing only when combined with a strong personality. Apart from price and brand, who have never played a major role in the striped shirt, it is this restraint that makes the striped look so sympathetic.
