Nautical fashion trend
This fashion tendency has never really been out of fashion, but this year it seems that the nautical trend is once again making the rounds.
Every year has its specific fashion variations and the one of this year is to look like you are just off to the yacht club rather than a Royal Navy recruit. Moderation is the key to wearing navy and avoiding looking like Popeye. Covering yourself in stripes and gold buttons from top to bottom is not the way to stay in fashion this summer.
The secret to wearing navy motiffs this season is in both subtlety and color combinations. Nautical outfits are normally associated with white and navy but cream and navy and a splattering of beige and red, especially when accessorizing, really works too.
Nautical Accessories
There are also some rules for wearing nautical accessories well. Don’t go overboard with the bling. Keep jewelry simple – a plain gold chain or some anchor drop earrings, or a rope bracelet or fine necklace decorated with delicate sea charms.
Handbag designers have really jumped onboard with striped totes, oversized sailor duffle bags and navy and white clutches. So choose your bag from the huge variety.
Shoes have also been given a nautical twist, with anchor and stripe prints in white and navy or cork heels. If you want to liven up your outfit, then visit your local store and buy a heart-stopping pair of red shoes and matching handbag.
Hats are always one of the most favourite accessories especially in the summer time. They not only bring color to our outfit, but protect our hair as well.
Be careful when wearing stripes
One of the negatives of the nautical look is that it is suitable mostly for slim silhouettes than a woman with more than a few curves. Yet is it still possible for ladies of larger proportions to dip their toe in the water! Minimize the stripes and concentrate on nautical accessories instead. An anchor necklace, a rope belt, a sailor’s barrel bag or some wedge espadrilles.
If you have a big bust but still love to wear striped tops and T-shirts then follow fashion advice by making sure you go for a V or sweetheart neckline or one which is scooped or square, in order to give some distance between your neck and your chest. A boat-neck cut or a high round-necked striped top will do nothing to enhance your figure.
