The timeless nature of a classic striped shirt is captured by style icons time and time again—from the ’50s elegance of Audrey Hepburn to ’60s rebel Edie Sedgwick to present-day fashionistas like Charlotte Gainsbourg. The iconic striped shirt is not only the starting point and anchor from which clothing line Chance builds off of, but founder Julia Leach says it is “the paper clip of personal style.” With a fresh take on French classics, the nautically themed lifestyle brand offers effortless fashion for the modern-day muse. Leach, who is also the former creative director of Kate Spade, combines the spirit of travel with that of city life to create functional, artfully designed clothing, accessories, and travel-related essentials.
Whether you’re packing a suitcase or wrapping a gift this winter, make sure you check out Chance for a boatneck top, pajamas with pockets, a straw stitched fedora, or vintage Vera scarves.
