I think it's like mixing black and brown. Get whichever is the better shirt and mix away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-cream-so-many-breton-and-nautical-stripes#post-523895 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:45:41 +0000 Vicki 523895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say cream probably looks better on me, Amy. I just didn't know if that would be limiting in any way (pairing with white is out and would be off in some way). Yes, I think it truly gets back to cut and quality of the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-cream-so-many-breton-and-nautical-stripes#post-523885 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:39:40 +0000 Amy 523885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, I like both white or cream. Which looks better with your complexion? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-cream-so-many-breton-and-nautical-stripes#post-523804 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:57:02 +0000 MsMary 523804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a light cream. But really, when I was shopping for my Breton stripe top it was more important to get exactly the right piece, that fit exactly right, and if it had been white instead of off-white that would have been okay with me, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-cream-so-many-breton-and-nautical-stripes#post-523709 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:32:06 +0000 Angie 523709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know! I love vertical stripes, Vicki. Clean, iconically classic, modern, simple and crisp - OF COURSE I love them :)</p> <p>Hmmm. I like stripes with high colour contrast - with a colour (or black) AND white/cream. Or an emerald and navy stripe. The stripes must be graphic in order for me to like them for myself and my own style. But I can appreciate other types of stripes for other style personas. </p> <p>I think it's a personal choice - like most patterns are. I do not prefer stripes that look like mattresses (ticky stripes).</p> <p>And gangster pinstripes always hold a special place in my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-or-cream-so-many-breton-and-nautical-stripes#post-523704 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:24:50 +0000 Vicki 523704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With this tee in abundance these days, do you have a preference for white or cream as the alternating color to blues, reds, etc.? Just wondering here if one background color is more sea-worthy in usage and style or does it come down to one's coloring and personal choice? </p>
