Solid stripes: the best Breton jumpers and how to style them

‘A Breton jumper never dates’

Top of our most wanted list is Swedish brand Totême’s take on the classic Breton (£400), which has slightly oversized proportions with a vent at the sides and a roll neck. Totême’s minimal uniform approach to dressing is the epitome of chic: it’s that Scandi thing that we Brits often try to recreate with varying degrees of success. The good news is that pretty much the entire high street has paid homage to this particular sweater: Gap’s version sold out immediately; Topshop’s (£42) flips the colour balance; Zara’s (left) is a hands down bargain and Cos’s take on the style comes with a zip-neck detail (£79).
