It can be argued that there is nothing more summery than a good [bright and bold stripe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep), a few of which can be found in the Head Porter SS14 Brighton collection. Ok, more than a few. Bringing up images of WASPs in The Hamptons, cruising along the waters on their million dollar yachts, the line of [bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-x-porter) would bring a touch of playful poshness to any outfit.

Yet for those who don't want to adopt such an appearance, the Head Porter SS14 Brighton collection is versatile enough to have a bit of street cred as well. It helps that the design was in fact inspired by deck chairs of the British seaside town for which it was named and not anything to do with The Hamptons.
