Your blue and red striped sailor sweater, an effortlessly wearable piece.
In the world of fashion, there are iconic pieces that continue to inspire as the years go by. Does it seem strange to wear a sailor sweater in the city? Yet gone are the days when the breton sweater was inevitably paired with rain boots and a rain slicker.
The sailor sweater for women
Robustness or elegance? Sophistication or simplicity? The fisherman sweater ticks all the boxes, and that is what makes it a standard-bearer of French elegance.
The sailor sweater for men
Do you go out of your way to avoid garments with ill-fitting cuts? Whether you wear it three times a week or every now and then, it will maintain its harmonious shape — that is one of its greatest qualities. With canvas shorts or a great pair of chino pants… With traditional espadrilles or understated sneakers… It can be worn with almost anything.
What cut for your sailor sweater?
To bring complete satisfaction to both those who want a more modern style and purists who only have eyes for the original model, the Le Minor sailor sweater is available in several cuts. Let us start with the straight cut, as it is the one we have been producing since the knitwear workshop was founded over a century ago. Being rooted in tradition does not mean standing still. Le Minor has understood this well by offering two reinterpretations of its famous sweater. There is the relaxed cut for a more modern look. And the sport cut for a blouson effect with a sportswear edge.
