Sailor Playsuit by Cooperative

Cooperative

As playsuits branch out beyond eighties influence, many high street styles are taking in a greater variety of retro influences. This Sailor Playsuit by boutique brand Cooperative is available now from Urban Outfitters and lends influence from a casual sixties aesthetic.

The combination of top and shorts into one outfit provides a modern interpretation of a relaxed retro chic, with Parisian influence playing a large part. The city shorts style combined with a loose fitting long sleeved top plays with the sixties injection of a boyish look, working best with a closer fit that shown in this picture.
