Nautical Fashion Trend
 The high seas have inspired this summer’s hottest trend: navy and white stripes will be everywhere this season, from Bermuda shorts, and shoes to summer dresses. Here are eight stylish, marine-inspired items to sport this summer.
 
For warm summer days
Incorporate these items into your wardrobe for a casual yet stylish look.
 
 
Modern Amusement Annie Hall Short in Navy
These cute shorts are a must for summer. Wear them with a white tank top and flip flops for a casual look, or with a navy blue vest and heels for a dressier feel.
 
 
Heather Tote
This carry-all is super handy, and its metallic eyelets give it a particular marine-inspired look.
 
 
 
Hammette Shoes by Keds
A wedge heel is the perfect compromise between comfortable and feminine. They look great with jeans... and everything else!

Women’s Ruffled Henley
This light top with puffy sleeves is perfect for warm days. A white miniskirt or denim capris are great options for completing the ensemble.

For cool summer nights
White and navy stripes also give off a refined vibe. Put aside your shorts in favour of a skirt or heels, as well as a few accessories to complete the look.
