Look of the Day: Mod Nautical

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 03:50:22 -0700

I've tried the nautical look, I've tried the mod look, but I've yet to do the mod nautical combo. Fashionave921 exemplifies this look to perfection with her thigh-high gray tights, blue jumper, and yellow cardi. I'm smitten with her saltwater sandals, and her white belt cinches the whole look together.

Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to fashionave921!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Looks of the Week!

FabSugar — Sun, 31 May 2009 10:15:22 -0700

This week's Look Book showed signs of Summer - bare legs, short skirts, sandals. My favorites are sassy in Sydney, bikini babe, casual cute, edgy glamor, statement necklace, and sail away. I've long missed the sailorette look, that's why femmeriots's outfit stood out from the bunch.

Look of the Day: Stripes and Tweed

FabSugarUK — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 01:00:57 -0700

High waisted shorts are having a bit of a moment so Sugar reader Hebden is bang on trend with this ensemble. She teamed the vintage item with a nautical striped t-shirt and a tweed jacket.

With tights to keep her legs warm it's a great Spring outfit and can easily be adapted for the warmer months.

Here's what she's wearing:

Shirt - Dover Street Market
Tweed and velvet jacket - Nicole Farhi
High-waisted flannel shorts - vintage Ralph Lauren
Flats - Jones the Bootmaker

Trend Alert: Nautical Shoes

FabSugarUK — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:00:34 -0800

The nautical trend is never far away, seeming to re-emerge every season. For Spring 2009 it's taking on footwear with casual espadrilles, striped flats, and funky heels.

It's no secret that I'm a Stella McCartney fan, but these nautical heels with cute boat print detail (£387) leave me literally weak at the knees.

For a more affordable heel, how about these colour block platforms (£25) from New Look? Team with a burlesque style sailor dress for a fun Spring look. See below for more nautical footwear.

Navy Patent Bow Pump - £25.00	Colour Block Platforms - £25.00
Aplay - £18.00	Fabulous Espadrilles - £59.00
Stella McCartney Nautical platform sandal - £387.00

The Look For Less: J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:00:22 -0700

Sailor pants are such fun. They're a quick and casual way to look nautical and fresh and what's not to love about those adorable buttons? These J Brand Shoreman Sailor Pant ($217) are adorable but ahoy mate expensive! Let's see if we can find the look on the cheap . . .

These Delia's Quinn Low-Rise Sailor Flares ($40), are equally crisp and clean. The lightweight fabric is perfect for warm weather and I prefer the navy buttons over the brass anyway.

Trend Alert: Nautical Bikini

FabSugarUK — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:00:41 -0700

It's bikini season again (I know, it always comes round too quickly) which means the stores are packed with various swimwear items. Whilst on her honeymoon, Coleen showed off an impressive range of bikinis mainly sticking to solid bright colours.

However, I like to have more fun with swimwear so one of my favourite trends this Summer is the continuation of of sailor chic as bikinis get taken over by stars and stripes. This is certainly not a trend for top-heavy girls as the horizontal stripes may not be too flattering.

See below for the best nautical inspired items available this Summer.

John Lewis Figi Stripe Bikini Shorts, Blue/White - £10.00	Deckchair Stripe Bikini - £24.00
Retro Cotton Stripe Bikini - £24.00	Nautical Stripe Bikini - £24.00
Blue and red rope print bikini top - £14.00	Diesel Nautical Plunge Suit - £72.00

Dress Me Up: Come Sail Away

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:00:22 -0700

A pair of perfect navy blue sailor pants miraculously made their way into my life recently and have inspired me to bring out my inner sailor-ette, full force. The nautical trend has long been a part of fashion history - hello, Jean Paul Gaultier - but these perfect pants make me want to come sail away, and Shopbop's nautical selection is allowing me to do just that. Won't you join me on my proverbial ship by incorporating anchors, stripes (a la 3.1 Phillip Lim's resort line, left), and brass buttons into your closet? Is that an "aye aye Fab" I hear?!

Cheap & Chic: Nautical Navy & White

FabSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:00:11 -0700

While Gabrielle Union's infectious smile draws me in, her nautical navy and white Laila Azhar dress keeps me there. The Summer season calls for sailing and sailing calls for a nautical outfit. Whether or not you partake in the water games, wear yourself a nautical navy and white ensemble because it's refined and refreshing. If a nighttime activity sounds more up your stream than daytime sailing, follow Gabrielle and pick a polished nautical outfit that will look appropriate on land, when the sun goes down.
