Horizontal stripes and folded denim are no longer just for sailors. This season, the breezy nautical look is in and is making a splash in countries all around the world. This trend is perfect for the hot summer season and adds fun and spontaneity after a spring season dominated by florals. The defining look for this trend? Thin, horizontal stripes that alternate between blue and white. Seen on dresses, shorts and flowy tops, this pattern is flattering for most skin tones. However, on body types that are more top-heavy, these stripes could exaggerate your width. In these cases, work vertical stripes. This allows you to take advantage of the same trend, while flattering your figure. Denim also works great in nautical outfits. Try looser fitted rolled up shorts and complete the look with a neutral sun hat. A look perfect for hitting the beach? We think so.
