Synonymous with seafarers, the iconic Breton shirt originated from Northern France and has since become firmly embedded in capsule wardrobes. Finding the right kind of stripe takes time, however, but I’ve finally found a contemporary piece for all my sailor dreams!

The unbelievably soft and lightweight sweater that kept me warm atop Étretat’s wind-swept cliffs.

I’m surprised this is the first time I’m writing about a H&M piece I’m head over heels with!
