True Blue: Nautical Trends






Top: Abercrombie and Fitch, Shorts: Forever21, Shoes: by Candies

      Summer means anything and everything nautical.  This timeless trend can be pulled off in plenty of different ways, starting with the classic stripe.  Thick or thin but most commonly blue and white,     
    nautical stripes create the sailor look with a bit more elegance.  A patriotic color palette of reds, 
      whites, and blues can also be used to bring out the classic, boating look. Neutrals such as khakis 
                          or even certain denims can be paired with these colors as well.

To complete any nautical look, tiny gold accents are used to produce a subtle effect without looking too gaudy.  If you want to try something a little more, I would recommend a bulky, rope bracelet or even an anchor necklace to really embrace this look and make it your own.  Finally, a stripe of simple, red lipstick will finish off this tasteful trend.
