Get The Look: Nautical Style For Summer

The nautical look is set to be one of the hottest trends this summer and has already hit the high street with lots of nautical themed goodies flooding stores everywhere. Personally, we’re huge fans of this look, so we thought we’d show you how you can stay on trend this summer without breaking the bank.

This look is characterised by nautical colour schemes (think white, red and blue), horizontal stripes and sailing themed accessories. The best thing is, it looks great on anyone. No matter what your age, shape or size, there’s something for everyone when it comes to this style. Another bonus is that unlike many hot trends out there, this is a truly casual look – meaning it’s the perfect choice for the day to day whether you’re quickly running to the store or picking the kids up from school.

Boat Shoes

Donning a pair of boat shoes is one way to easily add a nautical twist to any outfit. They’re a super stylish yet functional choice of footwear and look great with everything from dresses to jeans. There’s a huge range of choice out there when it comes to women’s boat shoes but we particularly love this pair by British deck shoe manufacturers, Chatham Marine (£49):

Stripes

If you’re looking to crack the nautical look this summer, then get ready to rock some stripes! Nothing says nautical better than striped top but it’s best to keep it simple. Team a simple striped t-shirt with a pair of white jeans or cropped pants to complete the look. We love this striped top by Boden ($38) but you’ll find something similar in most stores this season.

We think this top would go perfectly with these jeans from Topshop ($80):

 

 A Splash Of Red

 When we think nautical, we mainly think of blue and white but a really simple way to brighten up a nautical themed outfit is by adding a splash of red to your look. You can jazz up your outfit very easily by adding a neck scarf or teaming the rest of your look with a pair of red deck shoes.

We think this neck scarf from Macy’s ($21.99) is the perfect way to add that splash of colour to your outfit:

Nautical Themed Accessories

Complete the look by teaming your outfit with some carefully selected nautical accessories – think about adding an anchor pendant into the mix or nautical themed handbag.

Our top pick has to be this gorgeous tote bag from L.L. Bean ($29.95) – perfect for carrying around all life’s essentials whilst staying on trend.

 That’s all for now but hopefully you’re now all clued up on how to get the nautical look just right this summer from head to toe.
