OOTD: Nautical & Beyond.

Summer twenie-eleven is officially over....so does the nautical trend too? The nautical look is one of the most hackneyed in the fashion lexicon. Like yours truly, she adoro stripes! I even think it's one of those wardrobe staples. However, it's a look that doesn't have to be so literally interpreted. 

Besides, there's a reason why nautical-inspired fashion never seems to go out of style. If you want to channel the nautical look, you don't have to dress in stripes from head to foot. You can substitute white crispy slacks with bell bottoms. Besides fashion history states that sailors wore those to give them the comfort of working on the ship.  It's all in the detailing as well. Besides, you want to look cute, not like the captain of a ship right? 

wickeRmoss'  2¢ worth: why the nautical trend doesn't seem to falter.

• Nautical style basics, such as striped tees and white bottoms, are readily purchased as separates.
• Solid bottoms and striped tees are pieces that are versatile, easy to mix and match into many other outfits.
• Sailor style is not a fad; women and men have loved it for over centuries.
• No matter what your skin tone is, you are sure to find shades of blue, white or red that will flatter you the most.

In summary, it's a safe bet that a wardrobe favorite for a hundred years will be in style long enough for you to wear out your nautical fashions.

Oh well, this is how I embraced the last day of summer.

I opted for stripes with my favo colours,

The only missing is a 

yacht. 

Right.
