One of my favorite trends this season is the nautical – sailor – striped style. I love it for it's iconic beginnings, it's classic style and it's casual appeal. See below what you think…
Mix and match floral and striped pieces to create an unified look. I had my doubts about this trend, but now… I’m a believer!

Nautical Fashion Inspiration The nautical look was made fashionable by Coco Chanel in the 20′s.
The fashion icon was having an affair with the Duke of Westminster, a huge yachting fan, and began to take on the attire of a sailor after observing fishermen on her holidays. She wore wide-legged sailor pants, striped boatneck sweaters and flat boating shoes. Her androgynous style appealed to other independent women of the time like Katharine Hepburn.
I love how a simple Breton t-shirt can be paired with skinny jeans and sandals or glamoured up with a boyish blazer and heels :
The striped shirts were made part of the French seaman’s uniform in 1858 :
