Dear Anton, I really like the nautical style popping up on the runway and the streets. Can you recommend a few pieces to get me started on this trend? -MelanieDear Melanie,
One of the most popular trends from the nautical theme is the horizontal stripes in traditional colors like red, white and navy blue, sometimes even rubber ducky yellow. But rather than the played out wide stripes sailor shirts have, the stripes range from pencil-thin pinstripes to downright chunky pillars of color. Another print of seaside theme is that of the anchor. Twisted Heart has embraced the trend this season with their Stripe Betty Hoodie and Deep Sea Anchor Hoodie in Baltic.
In tops you’ll want to look for a lot of mid-length sleeves with boat neck cuts. Ankh offers a top with a summer-colored Sailor Jerry theme in their Short Sleeve Crest Henley. Blouses with mid waist rope ties to give volume to your silhouette and enhance the naval air of your outfit. Cropped jackets with like Juicy’s Skirted Trench Coat in Jaipur are also something to keep your eyes peeled for.
Bottom halves are getting into the flow of things too. You'll find plenty of pants, shorts and skirts with buttoned up sides or hints of the sailor's 6 buttoned closure pants running throughout the fabric. The brass buttons against the clean white fabric of Lotta Stensson’s Sailor Short in White has just the right look. A lot of these are produced in wide leg and boot cut. And the best part about the sailor style bottom? It flatters all hips no matter the size.
I hope this helps,
Anton
