Blazers-Navy and White Nautical Fashion Trends

Nautical fashion never really dies. Every year there is always a variation on this fashion trend. The nautical scheme uses mainly navy teamed with pure snow white. At other times nautical stripes use navy, but with soft cream, ivory, or red. Natural tan is frequently the leather colour of choice for accessories such as scarves and belts. However, red, yellow, emerald and orange can also be used in accessories to pick up the look from strict to saucy.



Because this very dark navy is so similar to that of service uniforms, it has an authoritarian look which instantly marks the wearer out as groomed. This is understated chic that always looks good.




To achieve more formality with the nautical fashion look, a blazer is the obvious choice, especially when teamed with well cut trousers or a well made skirt. As you can see from these photos, the look is so easy to dress up or soften down.




These three pictures all show how a navy blazer or striped jacket can add pizzazz to long shorts, cropped pants or classic pants. The light striped jacket right and cropped pants appear even more informal than the white tailored shorts and dark navy blazer. The darker the navy item, and the less added bright contrast, the more gravitas to the nautical outfit. The winter version of the nautical jacket style is the double-breasted reefer coat and cropped Napoleonic jacket.
