Breathless is a 1960s French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, one of the most popular French nouvelle vague (new wave) film that was both visually attractive and had the use of new film technology.
About a young petty criminal who models him self on the film persona of Humphrey Bogart, so the fashion and coolness in this film is perfect for the 60s. There are many styles that run through out this film but an on going look is strips, on both Jean Seberg's iconic dress and shirt.
Focusing on two outfits the stripped dress as well as the stripped top with skirt, two completely different styles but with very similar looks.
Dress:
It's always hard to find an exact replica of a dress unless you get it tailor made to look the same, which is a good way to get the exact outfit you want but does cost more. This dress is from Rokit and is a 70s summer dress for £40, to make the dress look more fitted add a belt to it that way it will tuck everything in.

Top & Skirt combo:
If your like me and are finding it hard to hunt down a vintage stripy top then I would go and have a look in H&M as you will more than likely find one that's very similar and it will be cheaper.
As for the skirt I have found one that is what colour I can imagine her wearing it (as its a black & white image) and it will go fantastically with a white and red stripped top!
This skirt is from Beyond Retro for £20 http://www.beyondretro.com/en/women/skirts/midi-skirts/midi-skirt-rust-red-with-pleat-detail-e00131586.html
