I thought the first ever post on my blog should be dedicated to my favourite ever trend for this spring, the nautical look. Breton stripes seem to be everywhere at the moment and are an easy way to update our wardrobe in any situation, smart enough for work, cool enough for everyday and funky enough for a night out this look has something for everyone!
You can get into this look fairly cheap as the website Boohoo.com suggests, a few stripped tops and key accessories teamed up with blacks, reds and grey are a good place to start. I found New Look and absolute saviour for affordable tops, try these for a little ‘soupçon’ of the look in your wardrobe:
Tops
Some fine expamples of the Nautical look
1) Striped Longline Tunic – £16.00
2) Bonjour Paris! Top – £12.00
3) Bow Print Tunic – £20.00
If you’re not quite ready for the full on sailor look but still want to be on trend this seasons, a few key accessories paired with the right colour clothes can go a long way to keeping you stylish yet away from those sometimes scary horizontal stripes. Here are some of my favourite:
Bags
Accessorise with the Nautical theme
1) Nica at Debenhams – £29.00
2) Clarks – £19.99
Shoes
1) Dune – £80.00
2) Miss Selfridges – £15.00
3) Office – £35.00
Accessories
1) Accessorize £5
2) Accessorize £18
3) Accessorize £14
It’s a fun and funky look to play around with so make sure to put your own spin on it and integrate it into your own style. As with everything, you need to make sure you’re comfortable with the look, wear it with confidence and you’ll rock it!
