There is
just something about summer that begs for nautical themes and prints. Perhaps
it is the idea of a seaside vacation, or new and exotic adventures, or the fact
that the reds, whites and blues are all such fresh and cheerful colours. Bardot
wore the now iconic Breton stripes in many of her summer photos, and the sailor
theme has been a part of our summer attire since the 19th century,
first for children, and later as a part of female fashion.
But history
lesson aside, we’re big fans of wearing nautical themed clothing in the summer,
and we know that a lot of you are as well, so we prepared four sets to inspire
you and your summer wardrobe.
We’re
kicking it off with Sailor’s ruin, featuring
a wiggle dress to die for, and a round nautical themed purse. We opted for a
single piece of jewellery, keeping the look sleek and deadly!
Next up is Anchors aweigh, a cute and playful set
that is equally at home in the city as it is at the seaside. The classic capris
and top combo is dressed up with onyx jewellery, a big red flower and a pair of
wedges.
And
finally,
Smooth Sailing. This seemingly plain
top has a beautifully
detailed back, and we decided not to draw attention to the red bows by pairing
it with a
red skirt. The dark blue wedges bring a little spring in your step,
and the minimalist
jewellery and makeup serve to enhance the fresh, natural look
so popular in the summer.
