The summer is back and 2011 fashion trends are blazing hot. Social Kingston is especially in love with the nautical trend. Nautical isn't just a color, or a stripe, or a piece of clothing it is a full on fashion world of its own. The trend is versatile and chic ranging from cool and casual to formal and sexy. This wouldn't be the first time the captain and his crew have been thrust onto the runways of New York and Paris. However this time around designers are thinking less navy and more yacht club. The signature navy blue, red, and bold stripes have evolved to create fashionable pieces that are just to die for. It is also guaranteed to give the average Jane or Joe a mysteriously sultry edge.
This fashion trend is not particularly hard to capture, however if it goes wrong, it goes SERIOUSLY wrong. But don't worry we got your back and if you stick with these grounds rules you'll be turning heads all day:
The Stripes
The easiest way to go nautical is through stripes particularly navy blue or black stripes. Do not over stripe. Incorporating stripes can be as simple as a scarf, a pocket or accessories. If you opt for a large stripe item e.g. a dress or jacket, solid pieces are your best bet at avoiding cheesy.
