Nautical colors are usually associated with whites, navy blues, reds and maroons. As well as horizontal stripes on shirts and navy blue and white vertical stripes on pants. Over the past few seasons, many companies have begun playing around with the colors and even how they're worn.
Classic Nautical:
A classic nautical outfit is simply a horizontal striped shirt (blue/red with white) and white or khaki pants. Flats look great with white pants because white makes legs look longer and with heels they may appear freakishly long. To the right is a good way to sport nautical and stay conservative.
For us on a small budget or just love to save, forever21.com has a huge collection of nautical themed clothes as seen to the left.Dressy Nautical:
A fancy edge to make nautical clothes pop is a small splash of red or yellow. Red, usually associated with nautical clothes, gives a highlight and is frequently used by designers such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. To add a larger edge to these stripes a nice gold or yellow really gives a big accent as seen to the right. But above all, the best part of the nautical theme are the anchors!
Necklaces, bags and rings all give a summer edge to all kinds of outfits.
For some reason, I love this trend! and it is so true, with the blossom of spring and summer so many people start wearing it. Who would have said popeye the sailor outfit would turn out to be so popular on fashion? :)
ReplyDeleteI like the nautical trend although with this style its usually a hit or miss. . .
ReplyDeleteYou are completely right! This nautical style is something fresh and fun, but can be tricky because the style is easy to overdue. My favorite color that is used by this style is yellow and of course anchors are brilliant!
