Another trend that seems to follow us into every Spring/Summer 2011 cycle is stripes. While navy and white stripes are a must for the look (though black and white can also work in 2011), the real key to Summer's take on nautical stripes is that they dominate the outfit. This look is all about drawing attention to the stripes above all else in the outfit (and it totally works).
The center piece of this outfit is all about the striped dress. Pairing it with these casual boots gives it a more everyday, wearable look. Pair it up some some heels or some gladiator flats gives this classic look more of a nightlife feel.
We have touched on 70's glamour coming back this season. This spring summer is the return of the bell bottom jeans. A style which originated with the sailor pants of the US navy and helping create the military look from past seasons. Presents the perfect opportunity for creating nautical ensembles. A striped top with flares is a combination that brings the 70's look into 2011.
An inspirational look from Anja Rubik's sailor fashion tribute from the June 2010 issue of Vogue Korea.
Bringing a dominant piece (like the striped blazer above) brings structure in the basic white on white outfit underneath. Want to be more bold, instead of using the basic clutch seen in the photo, pick a clutch or accessory with a bold pattern or colour to give that wow factor.
