Block stripes are back in trend

Breathe fresh life into your hot-weather wardrobe with block stripes. Part nautical and part Riviera, block stripes are great for times when you want to subtly stand out from the crowd.

Remember James Dean's black-and-white striped tee in the film Rebel Without A Cause or Shah Rukh Khan's charming red-and-white stripe T-shirt in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Those Breton stripes are back in a different form — wide stripes of blocks of different colours or prints.
