Nautical is a popular look right now and is perfect as we transition into summer with dreams of relaxing on a boat with the wind blowing through our hair. Okay, maybe not the wind part as I will wind-up with a tangled puffball as a hairdo. Anyways, nautical is pretty trendy right now. I think that "nautical" can be pretty widely interpreted but here are a few style concepts that I associate with this trend: the color navy, anchor prints, boat shoes, and stripes.
These striped, espadrille flats are, to me, what makes this outfit nautical. I picked them up on clearance for five dollars (!!) on a recent trip to Target. They are so cute and comfy. I have a feeling that these flats are going to be favorites this summer.
So, favorite basic dress + striped espadrilles = the foundation of this outfit. The day I wore this, the weather was a little bit too chilly for a short-sleeved dress. So, I decided to wear an open chambray for a little bit of extra warmth. An open chambray is a great alternative when a denim jacket is too heavy! The belt was a last minute detail because I thought it made the outfit a little bit more nautically.
Here are a few fun nautical pieces that I've found. Are you on board (pun intended) with the nautical trend?
