Recently, for some reason, I’ve been obsessed with everything naval. I don’t recognize what caused it, but I realized, as I flipped through my different fashion magazines, that my fixation isn’t without demand.
Obviously, when I say naval, I’m not talking Popeye or sailor uniforms. There are many difficult ways to pull off a simple, light summer look with this timeless drift. First is my personal desired: Stripes?
Generally, when going for a nautical look, stripes are inclined to be thin and have a loyal color palette. Navy and White is the most common, but versions of red and white or navy and red also work really fit. Like I said before, though, keep the stripes thin to shun looking like a candy cane or our nation’s flag. Your peak can be long-sleeved, a thin cotton tee, a tank top, basically whatever you — or the weather, in some cases — say aloud. Tops can additionally be made of any fabric: Cotton, silk, man-made — stripes can normally work with any material.
When it comes to bottoms, less is more in terms of colors. Neutrals are always the best choices for nautical outfits. Think khakis, white or practically any gloom of denim you could imagine. Focus more on the fit of your pants or shorts than what color or cloth they are.
Nautical-inspired looks can, of course, carry over to the beach. This year, aim came out with an excess of striped bikinis with tiny gold accents great for your seaside look, all at a reasonable price. Plain navy, white and red also work glowing paired together or mixed and matched.
If you’re looking for a small quantity of nautical flair but don’t want to go all out, accessories are a great selection. Try a chunky cord bracelet or anything with a little anchor pendant. Now, before some of you go tying rope about your wrists, that’s not what I indicate. Many companies make bracelets out of a range of materials — like rope — and if done correctly, they can be a quirky way to make a statement. Proenza Schouler did it last period when they made adorable, multi-colored bracelets out of wicker climbing rope and carabineer clasps.
Anything gold can stress a nautical look. Tiny gold buttons on striped shirts can offer you a subtle effect without blinging yourself out too much. A fragile gold anchor, sailboat necklace or small ball earrings are immense choices. If you’re not really a jewelry person, a vivacious stripe of red lipstick looks magnificent with any skin tone.
Above all, keep your seafaring look easy. If you go overboard — no joke intended — with accessories or stripes, it won’t be pretty.
