Nautical Ahoy!

Ahoy there ladies! We’re here to tell you to set your sails and sights on the nautical look. Are you lucky enough to be boating or beaching this summer? If not, no problem! You can partake in the ocean life by rocking the nautical style.  This look traditionally consists of the blue, white, and red color palette. Stripes are also a must-have for this fashion. The treat of wearing nautical is that all the clothes are light and fast-drying to adapt to life at sea. 

These items have made their way to land locked style lovers. Sperrys are a perfect example of this crossover.  These shoes were traditionally worn on boats because of their no wear scuff bottoms. Now, they are being worn by men as a dress up shoe and women as a sporty fun day shoe. You can’t step on a college campus without running into a pair of Sperrys! They come in all sizes and colors for all ages.

The perfect nautical accessories finish off your ensemble. Earrings, bracelets, and necklaces with ocean animals or boat parts such as wheels, anchors etc. are perfect for summer! You can pick your favorite marine animal to make it personal. 

In keeping with the boat trend, jewelry designers have been crafting pieces from rope and knots to pay homage to sailors. Necklaces and bracelets are woven in classic docking knots for a fun flare! Check out Kiel James Patrick’s collection and Nantucket Knot Works for more ideas. These pieces are easy to do yourself but are more elegant and last longer when ordered online.

Although the look is more summer appropriate, Seaton makes an amazing sweater perfect for fall that keeps with the traditional nautical theme but strays in color and fabric. These sweaters are slightly pricey but definitely worth the unique look.
