3 ways to rock the nautical look this summer

Check these out, too...

  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
In a sea of sundresses and shorts, our take on the classic nautical trend is sure to make you stand out. The sailor inspired vibe is all about flattering stripes and navy, white and red pieces that are sure to standout. Anchors aweigh! 

 

At brunch: Ahoy, ladies!

Pair crisp white skinnies with a striped tank for a lunch date with your besties. Add a pair of red flats or pumps to make your outfit really pop. A slouchy cut tank is more posh and less polished. Cool!

At the beach: Go overboard

Why not sport a sailor-themed bikini during your next beach day? Wide stripes not only look cute but also create the illusion of curves. Classic wayfarers and leather sandals polish off your preppy look.

At the biggest party of the summer: Set sail in color

While the rest of your crew sports micro-minis, a bold curve-hugging maxi dress is a great option to show off your bod without showing too much skin. Red and blue bands look gorge with an armful of gold bangles.

The maxi dress makes the model look really tall, which is perfectly fine, but it's like...whoa she's tall.

I agree with @sprinklz28 the dress is an odd length and i don't think i could pull it off.
