Take 3 Dresses

The nautical look is a perennial of the spring summer fashion wardrobe. You either love or hate stripes, it is a Marmite thing. For me it is a case of what's not to love. But I advise caution when it comes to buying, not because I'm a believer of some silly rules invented about what you can and can not wear - you know me it is all about proportions and using your eye.

The caution you need to exercise is in the cut of the cloth. Cheaper high street products are fine for the beach but if you want to cut muster out and about then go for quality. I've chosen 3 options to suit taste and body shapes all from my-wardrobe.

  11. Always a big fan of breton stripes in shirts. Totally agree about the cut thing. I just bought a striped Anglomania dress and was really worried about the horizontal stripes - but the cut was so clever, the dress falls beautifully.
