Some Nautical Inspiration
Dress || Heels || Clutch || Earrings || Bracelet
Maybe it’s because I grew up on the water, but I am constantly finding inspiration from nautical influences. Especially in the summertime, the look is out in full force with breezy outfits and pops of navy. Whether it’s maritime prints, sailboat details, or anchor motifs, I’m all on board. Since I’m always in the mood for more nautical, here’s a quick roundup of some the preppiest pieces.
Map Print Shirt Dress
As soon as I laid eyes on this dress, I knew it had to be mine! The shirtdress style alone is enough to make my heart swoon. The fact that it’s in this gorgeous Long Island nautical print only makes me love it anymore. Already coming with a very fetching rattan belt, it’s the perfect little number to throw on and go. If you need something much more casual, the print also comes in a retro bikini top and bottom.
Nautical Screen Printed Sweatshirt
Time and time again J. Crew is my number one source for nautical motifs. They seem seem to be on a constant rotation at their stores, no matter the season. This printed sweatshirt is brand new and hot of the press. In a fresh and pristine white, it’s going to make your post sail tan glow, especially with white chino shorts. I don’t know where ‘Bellport’ is, but it would be amazing to find out.
‘Apres Sail’ Open Sweater
Even on the hottest days, it can sometimes get a little chilly out on the water. It’s a good idea to have a sweater on hand, just in case. Could this pick from Talbots been more perfect? At first glance, it looks like a standard navy sweater, but leaves makes quite a statement on your way out.
Nautical Square Scarf
On particularly windy days, out on the water, I highly recommend throwing on a scarf to keep yourself looking chic. After all, if it’s good enough for Jackie O, then it’s good enough for me. The head scarf is a timeless look that I have a sneaking suspicion will be making a very major comeback in the years to come.
Seaworthy Platform Sneakers
Did everyone own a pair of Sperry’s in high school or was it just me? These particular sneakers are an undated version on an old favorite. Still, they have the non-slip soles that you can trust. Wear them at the boat club or around town, they’ll go with everything you could possibly throw together.
I think I know myself pretty well. That being said, I always keep an eye out for fun nautical pieces. Even though summer is beginning to wind down, I say dress like you’re on your way to a yacht club with some nautical inspiration, even if it’s just to the grocery store!
