Women's Autumn Seaside Outfit: Fleurs des Sables Inspiration
Seaside style does not end with the last days of summer. As the light changes and the vegetation of the dunes takes on new shades, the maritime wardrobe can evolve too.
With Fleurs des Sables, Mat de Misaine explores this transition through a landscape where wildflowers meet sand and ocean. Calcaire, Olive, Pacifique, Marine, Mordoré and Anis create a palette inspired by the coastline.
Breton tops, shirts, knitwear and trousers offer a different approach to seasonal dressing. How can you create a seaside-inspired outfit in autumn? What colours work with olive green or navy blue? And how can you wear a Breton top as temperatures begin to fall?
Fleurs des Sables, Where Vegetation Meets the Ocean
Dunes are not made of sand alone. They are also home to vegetation that changes with the seasons, transforming the colours of the landscape.
It is this encounter that inspires the Fleurs des Sables universe.
For Winter 2026, Calcaire and Mordoré evoke mineral and natural tones, Olive and Anis introduce shades inspired by vegetation, while Pacifique and Marine echo the ocean.
This palette forms the common thread running through the collection.
The inspiration, however, remains distinct from the characteristics of the garments themselves: coastal landscapes shape the creative universe of Fleurs des Sables, while colours, cuts, patterns and compositions vary from one style to another.
The women's Fleurs des Sables collection brings together the different pieces created around this universe.
How to Embrace Seaside Style in Autumn
The maritime wardrobe is often associated with a few instantly recognisable pieces, beginning with the Breton top.
In autumn, these familiar elements can remain part of the wardrobe while being combined with different colours and layers.
Fleurs des Sables offers several examples. The VENTEST and MYRA Breton tops sit alongside shirts, jumpers and a selection of trousers. The collection therefore allows the silhouette to evolve while maintaining its connection to the maritime universe.
A Breton top can, for example, provide the starting point for an outfit with trousers. A shirt offers a different interpretation, while knitwear can add an extra layer as temperatures change.
Seaside style then becomes less literal. Rather than relying solely on the classic combination of blue and white, it explores colours and patterns that extend the visual language of the coastline.
To extend this inspiration, Signal du Large explores another facet of the coastline and offers a fresh perspective on how to reinterpret women's nautical style through nautical and graphic codes.

What Colours Go with Olive Green?
Olive plays an important role in Fleurs des Sables.
It appears notably on the PASADENA high-waisted trousers, PALMER wide-leg trousers and CLINFOC cropped shirt. The CANADA shirt also incorporates Olive into its print.
Within the theme's palette, Olive is combined with Calcaire, Pacifique, Marine, Mordoré and Anis.
One option is to stay within a natural palette by combining Olive with Calcaire. Another is to contrast green with a blue such as Marine or Pacifique, reinforcing the meeting of vegetation and maritime influences that defines Fleurs des Sables.
Anis can introduce a brighter note. In the current collection, this colour notably appears on a printed scarf.
These combinations are not rules. They simply offer ways to use the theme's palette as a starting point when creating an outfit.

Marine, Pacifique and Calcaire: Reinterpreting Maritime Colours
Blue naturally retains its place within the Mat de Misaine universe, but Fleurs des Sables explores it through several different shades.
Marine is the tone most directly associated with the traditional maritime wardrobe, while Pacifique and Pacifique Clair offer alternative interpretations of blue.
The PANILLA straight-leg trousers are available in Pacifique, while the TREMEL roll-neck jumper appears in Pacifique Clair. The TOPAZO jumper is offered in Marine.
These shades can be combined with Calcaire to create a seaside-inspired colour pairing, or contrasted with the theme's more botanical tones.
Colour therefore becomes a way to retain a maritime reference without necessarily building the entire outfit around the traditional codes of the Breton top.
Breton Tops, Stripes and Prints: Bringing Patterns to Life
Patterns add another dimension to Fleurs des Sables.
The MYRA Breton top combines Calcaire and Pistache. VENTEST offers a more traditional maritime interpretation in Écru/Marine. The CADRAN shirt introduces Noisette stripes, while CANADA features an Olive print.
These pieces allow for different styling approaches.
Stripes can become the main pattern of an outfit and be paired with plain trousers. A printed shirt can similarly become the focal point of the silhouette.
The idea is not necessarily to combine several patterns, but rather to choose one around which to build the outfit.
For more possibilities, our women's shirts and blouses offer a variety of cuts, colours and patterns from the Mat de Misaine wardrobe.
How to Create a Fleurs des Sables Look
An outfit can be built gradually around one central piece.
You could, for example, start with:
- a Breton top paired with trousers
- a printed shirt with plain trousers
- Marine or Pacifique knitwear with Olive trousers
- a Calcaire piece complemented by a bolder colour
- a printed accessory to introduce the theme's colours more subtly
The collection includes several trouser shapes. PANILLA has a straight-leg cut, PALMER a wide-leg cut and PASADENA a high waist. These differences make it possible to vary the silhouette according to the shape you are looking for.
Explore further options among our women's trousers and cropped trousers.
Accessories offer another way to introduce the Fleurs des Sables palette. A Pacifique scarf, Anis scarf or Calcaire bag can add one of the theme's colours without making it the dominant shade of the outfit.
What Materials Are Featured in Fleurs des Sables?
There is no single material that defines Fleurs des Sables.
The pieces currently brought together within the collection feature a variety of compositions. The catalogue can notably be filtered by several materials, including cotton, wool, viscose, alpaca, polyamide and polyester.
Garments within the same category may therefore have different compositions.
To find the exact composition of a Breton top, jumper, shirt or pair of trousers, it is necessary to consult the information provided on the individual product page.
This approach makes it possible to choose a garment based on its actual characteristics rather than attributing a particular material or property to the collection as a whole.
Fleurs des Sables, Another Way to Wear Maritime Style
Fleurs des Sables tells the story of the coastline through the vegetation that grows between the sand and the ocean.
The Breton top remains present, but it sits alongside printed shirts, knitwear, trousers and a more botanical colour palette. Olive meets Marine and Pacifique. Calcaire is paired with Anis and Mordoré.
The result offers another interpretation of seaside dressing as autumn approaches - one that is less focused solely on traditional nautical codes and more open to the colours of the coastal landscape.
A natural continuation of Mat de Misaine's Atlantic-inspired universe, where each theme explores a different facet of the coastline.
