Nautical Adventures – Some ideas on how to go nuts on Nautical Styles

I was walking through Myers the other day and noticed in the mannequin dressed in one of my favourite styles – Nautical! It’s not because I like boating or can afford such an expensive sport, but I really do like the simplistic style and the colours – Navy, Red and White! Stripes are also a big thing with nautical styles, and I know not many of us out there can take horizontal stripes on us. Here are some ways that we can dress in the nautical theme without a) getting carried away b)having to wear striped tops necessarily.

• Striped top – if you can carry off wearing a horizontally striped top, accessorise with plain items. Silver chains and bracelets are a good choice. Team it up with a trench coat either in red or navy.

• Striped/nautical themed scarf – If you prefer not to wear a striped top, try accessorising with a scarf. This scarf has got a nautical them to it, with the rope prints. Tie it around your neck loosely or tightly. If you don’t like wearing scarves, the tie the scarf around a bag. Team it up with something red, say a top, cute shoes or even accessories. A military style jacket can also finish off the look.

• Nautical Themed Accessories – If you really want to get into the nautical style but not game enough to try out the outfit, here are some accessories that might help you along. Striped bags with rope handles, or bags with an anchor, caps, jewellery with some red and silver or even shells, nautical themed jewellery, watches…the list is endless. The idea is to have fun without looking like you’re a commander of the seas!
