I've long loved the easy chic of Breton stripe shirts but stayed away because I'm a very busty lady. My 2013 goal is to polish my casual wear so I started the hunt for my perfect Breton.
Anything too tight on my bust made the stripes turn either unflattering or draw too much attention to my chest.
Sizing up in thinner materials to be loose on the bust made the fit sloppy on my body.
After some research, I tried St. James. I like this one but need your input.
Pros:
Thick material
- doesn't pull over my chest
- holds the sleeve roll exceptionally well.
- 'feels' classic
Woven and not dyed stripes ( very crisp)
Ecru instead of white (more flattering)
Feels comfortable but polished at the same time
Cons?
Does a girl with a chest like mine look silly?
I'm wearing work trousers in this photo. IRL I'll style them with a leaner bottom and red lips if I'm feeling extra chic
