SAIL AWAY WITH THE NAUTICAL LOOK.

Posted on 07. Jun, 2009 by Afrohottie in Fashion & Beauty

The nautical look is one style that never goes out of fashion. It is arguably one of the most popular styles in the world of fashion and every year sees a variation of this trend. Nautical outfits are typically associated with white and navy, cream, red, and even beige (For Rope Effect). Today so many designers are coming up with nautical themed bags, shoes, belts and jewelry. These days one can find striped totes, rope jewelry, and belts with nautical colours. Creating a great nautical look is not difficult. For example you can team up a plain white dress with nautical accessories like navy and white platforms, a red belt or scarf or bag. If you want to formalize your look then nothing spells elegance and classy than a beautifully cut blazer and a pair of white sailor-style wide pants.

Remember to add oversized navy, white or red sunglasses to give you a rich look.

However, try not to go over the top with this trend. Combining too many nautical themed accessories is not ideal. It is also important for bigger women to avoid striped outfits because they add inches to the body. Instead play down the stripes and concentrate on sea-faring accessories like navy stripe bags, rope belts, and anchor necklaces. The nautical look is smart, stylish and pleasing to the eye. You don’t really have to possess a ship to work this look, just dress up as if you do. Check out these fantastic styles below.
