Get the Nautical Look

7 April 2010

The classic nautical look is here to stay for another season and its staple blazer and cardigan has a slight military/admiral touch which is easy to team up with casual pieces such as trousers, jeans and shorts. This year striped Breton top is another essential for this look and an easy separate to wear in a casual or a more polished version of which both are equally suitable.

This is one of my favourite pieces for this look which goes perfectly well with a casual day look with denims or with navy slacks or white slim leg style trousers!

Nautical wedges €24 from Next

Wedges are not only comfortable to wear, they also give a lift elongating the legs making it more flattering looking especially teamed up with shorts, a dress or a short skirt.

Everyone should possess a trench coat at this stage while it has become a part of the Irish staple wardrobe. With the transition from winter to summer, it is sometimes difficult to know what type of coat to wear. As you have to be prepared for unpredictable showers or sudden spells of ray, a smart choice is to invest in trench coat and this red nautical style one will brighten up any dull day.
