Sailin’ With The Nautical Fashion Trend

By Stacy Wells — July 13, 2012

Hitting the beach, the boat, the bayside bistro? The crisp, clean nautical fashion trend floats the boat! Not only is it fun, functional fashion, but these looks are also fabulously priced this time of the season. Check out the wide range of bright nautical styles all under $50!

Classy bermuda shorts from Ralph Lauren in navy or white (accented with the cutest sailor buttons!) start your nautical wardrobe basics. Bermudas are a little longer, covering the thighs (which sometimes give us trouble…). Navy is the quintessential nautical fashion trend color. Not only is it the shade of the sea, but it looks lovely on everyone (ever wonder why the airlines dress their crew in navy?). Nautical styles can be sexy too – figure hugging striped skirts, crop tops, and bathing suit. Drawstrings draw you in…jaunty jersey dresses or short shorts. Stripes are BIG in the nautical fashion trend like this cute Alternate Ending Top (look for stripe patterns that accentuate the positive – smaller stripes around the middle, different patterns around the chest). Linen and cloth beach bags are perfect for the nautical fashion trend ~ who wants some fancy leather tote on the sailboat?

Don’t forget the feet! Nautical styles add a touch of color to your summer wardrobe! From flip flops to slip ons you can’t go wrong in these sweet shoes!

See you at the sea shore in your amazing nautical styles!
