Roped In

This spring, we’re raving about all things rope. Braided straps and woven knots are inspiring a totally fresh way to wear the nautical trend. Add that wow-factor to your everyday style by mixing fun rope details with jeans and basic tops.

No boat? No prob! Rig up some serious chic on shore with these twisted picks.


Need something to keep you warm but still wanna look oh-so-cool on those breezy spring nights? A cropped jacket in a nautical stripe is the perfect compromise. Cinch yourself at the waist with a rope tie and you’re set.

A rope belt ties any look together. We love this one over a solid-hued dress or atop a simple tank ‘n’ skirt combo.

Stomp around in style with a new take on the strappy sandal. Faux leather and metal details mix with rope straps for a combo that’s fit for land or sea.

To add just a dash of nautical to your outfit, try a knotted rope bracelet. Go au natural with a neutral or choose a bright one for a pop of springy color. These weaved rope cuffs look cool and effortless – our springtime motto!
