The simple, yet classic Breton Top was worn mainly by French sailor's long before Madame Coco changed the fashion scene in the 1930's. The nautical-looking top truly conjures up the essence of Coco Chanel. This classic piece should be a key player in every girl's wardrobe, simply because by pairing it with a simple pair of rolled up jeans - et viola...nothing else to say dressed-down chic never looked so good.
This spring/summer, havetolove has stocked up on the most adorable Breton top, from Sonia By Sonia Rykiel, who once again puts her quirky touch in to a classic piece by adding a detachable chain necklace, decorated with mini Eiffel Towers. The 'Je T'aime Paris' style is perfect for this season's Parisian trend. The stripes are perfect for any nautical look. One simple top, fit for two different trends...Coco Chanel would be proud!
The nautical trend is again key this spring, where stripes will dominate, providing us with that crisp classic look which always looks so effortlessly chic. Whether it be quirky striped tops or sweaters, teamed with a classic cut jeans and a rolled up arm blazer, the look is so simple. We expect to cater to all your nautical needs this season, with not only Sonia By Sonia Rykiel following suit, but also Bolongaro Trevor and Manoush!
To polish the look, we have the perfect selection of 'look at me' sunglasses...the ideal option being the Marc Jacobs square frame navy shades! (as pictured) But the motto here is the bigger the better! and we have no shortage of oversized sunnies...classic oval shapes from Marc By Marc Jacobs with colourful logo detailing, or the perfect Jackie O style, jet black with a fully tinted lense...now that's dramatic.
Or if you like to lead the fash pack, as we do, avaitors remain the style that speaks volumes. Whethers its fresh and colourful from Carrera or sultry and statement from Alexander McQueen...we have everything to perfect the nautical look.

Its an exciting season ahead at havetolove, with spring fast approaching; we are looking forward to the new trends that will be influencing our wardrobe in the weeks to come. A muted colour palette is prominent amongst all collections seeing cream, taupe, peach and tan darkened with hints of navy and black, giving the spring season a light hearted romantic feel. Fabrics are soft and airy with jerseys, cottons and denims mixed with silks and chiffons for an elegant contrast of texture. A key piece being Olivia Rubin's Matisse dress (see image) which comprises of a structured peach base highlighted with a black silk scribble pattern overlay.
A re-occurring spring trend which returns this season with a twist is nautical, an ever so chic and timeless style that can be found with added quirk at Manoush, in striped sailor playsuits and embellished twin sets. Colours remain classic with a combination of red, white and blue; the French brand has never summed up Parisian style so well.
In order to make our trend driven pieces so wearable, the addition of staples to our wardrobe is a must, C.R.A.F.T jeans provides us wiht the perfect blue rinse skinny jean with subtle racer detailing and ankle zips, a style that had proved ever popular.
We hope that you are as excited at we are for the spring season as its proving to be a one to love forward to.
Bye for now
