Unfortunately my summer has come to an end and I decided to dedicate this post to what I believe has become the style of this summer: nautical. Of course all of the preps have been into nautical for such a long time, it's practically in our blood. Most of us have heard of a brand called Kiel James Patrick (KJP) which is the ultimate all American and nautical brand, but this summer I have seen so many stores such as Target, Nordstrom, J Crew, Vineyard Vines, and local boutiques really go all out on the nautical theme. I am all for the nautical style (it is probably one of my favorite styles) and I was delighted to see it spread around more this summer than I have ever seen before.
1. Stripes
Stripes really are the way to go when going nauti! I, myself, am a huge stripe advocate and believe that stripes are a great way to make any outfit a little more exciting! A personal favorite striped top of mine is the striped J Crew painter tee that you can find in almost any color!
2. Anchors
The beloved universal symbol of all nautical preppiness: the anchor! As we know, KJP is known for their infamous anchor bracelets and necklaces, but did you know they are coming out with pearl anchor earrings? These are definitely something I will be on the lookout for! They're gorgeous!!
3. Navy
As they say, navy is a neutral, and they definitely aren't wrong about that one! Within the past year, I have noticed my closet shift towards having what seems like 2/3 of my closet be the color navy. But seriously, can you blame me? Navy matches with practically every color and who doesn't love something that matches with everything?4. Knots
Knotted accessories are the perfect nautical accessory that goes with any outfit! So understated, yet shows that you have that nautical flair!
5. Woven Accessories
Don't ask me why, however I've always felt like basket woven type accessories are so nautical and perfect for a day out to the beach, yacht, pier, etc. I believe that Sarah Vickers definitely captures the beauty of woven accessories in her outfits the best!!
Summer may be coming to an end but that doesn't mean our summer style inspirations don't! What is so great about the nautical style is that bits and pieces of it can be worn throughout the year, even in the coldest of months!! Hope y'all enjoyed this weekends Fashion Friday!
XOXO,
