Arket's new collection is a whole mood. And that mood, despite the brand hailing from Sweden, is French. The edit, which is rather fittingly called 'Stripes Revisited', contains multiple riffs on the classic Breton. If you've always envied the French - for their food but also for their fashion - this collection is right up your street (or should that be rue?) because of its pared-back yet polished take on everyday dressing.
Looking for a transitional coat to wear from now until the start of summer? Arket's single-breasted style, made of a cotton-linen blend, feels oh-so-elegant and easy. Searching for a sweater dress? This collection has two superlative options - one made of jersey, one of knit - both of which are striped.
