Modern nautical look by little luxury list

The essential pieces for a modern nautical look

What is it about warmer weather that makes me reach for stripes?

I think it has to do with a subtle nod towards going for a clean, nautical look. Stripes are a classic print and bring an interesting visual element to an outfit.  But a good striped skirt paired with a simple, fitted top makes me think of an easy, elegant outfit.  This is a pairing that works equally well for the office as well as for a weekend outing.  Just remember to have your colors pay homage to the bright days and blue waters with a mix of white and navy blue colors.

A modern nautical look includes the following:

– a fitted v-neck top

– light scarf to tie around your neck (extra points if it is in a fun nautical print!)

– a striped skirt with a twist (think asymmetrical stripes or stripes of different widths)

– a military style blazer with either pockets or buttons on each side

– a sensible, but chic pair of sandals (high heels if you can handle it!)

    Same here! I could wear stripes all the time. The little lace top looks like the perfect spring piece. Have a jolly good day, sweetie.

    The warmer weather means stripes for me as well. I own many striped tops and I’ve love to get a striped skirt sometime soon.
