Do you know how the trend of blue and white stripes originated?

Favourite to everyone, the navy pattern is a must trend for every summer season. The blue and white combination reflects sophisticated elegance and is therefore very suitable for both the daily, business and evening occasions. Both men and women adore this trend, and do you know how it originated?

Long ago, in 1858, the French navy introduced as a uniform a t-shirt with dark blue and white stripes in order to make their sailors more visible in the waves. In the original, the shirt had 21 stripes on it, one for each Napoleon’s victory. 

In 1917, Coco Chanel, inspired by sailors, presented a collection in the high-fashion world that the bourgeoisie readily accepted and wore in the high-class resorts. This was, the blue-white trend from Paris, the capital of fashion, began to spread throughout the world.

Around the middle of the last century, it became part of the everyday fashion of many men thanks to Hollywood! Many actors and actresses such as Marlon Brand, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Merlin Monroe and Bridget Bardot appeared in models with blue and white strips both on movies and in private life. The famous painter Pablo Picasso also did not remain immune to this trend, so the blue and white t-shirt in which he often appeared became his trademark.

Dresses, overalls, pants, blouses, accessories in the navy design are some of the items with which you will be perfectly stylized each summer season. More than pleasant and comfortable, models with stripes will not only flatter your figure but will transform the most ordinary into an interesting and trendy outfit. A marine blue design is very easy to combine, and with appropriate accompanying accessories and shoes, you can look elegant at a business meeting, but also during a light stroll along the seaside coast.
