What Are We Wearing?

Nautical looks are some of the most classic and timeless styles you can go with come Summer. With the kick-off of summer, we will see lots of nautical-inspired fashion, especially on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.

Elevated Stripes

Im loving an elevated version of the classic nautical stripe with these Ralph Lauren linen stripe wide-leg pants. This pant looks elegant yet feels comfortable and light, and a bonus - these pants offer a slimming effect with the long lines of the stripes to follow the leg. Style this with a fitted tank or button-down shorts and a head scarf for a modern take. The beautiful light blue stripe on this Veronica Beard ruched shirt dress is another sweet option that is so easy to put together. Style this with a large sun hat, hoops, and an espadrille for any maritime event.

Sailor Styles

For nautical Summer styles, boat necks, horizontal stripes, and gold button details are all the rage. Keep a few of these beloved classic tops on hand to wear with cut-off shorts, linen pants, or white jeans for casual daytime gatherings. Add some polish to your look in structured sailor pants with gold buttons; I’d style these with a high wedge or heel for an evening date night or outings with friends.

Bathing Suits

A sporty take on these marine blues is to go with an asymmetric neckline or thick horizontal stripe for your swimwear. The racerback top on this Heidi Klein suit is sporty and chic, and I love the zipper for some added shine. A simple navy one-piece is always a good idea if you want a clean, classic look, or opt for this fun candy stripe for a little more flair. These styles feel playful and sexy but still appropriate for a day of socializing in the sun.
