New Nautical Styles for Spring

From crisp navy-and-white stripes to breezy linen knits the color of sun-kissed sand, nautical style delivers that effortless polish that feels just as at home running weekday errands as it does sipping an Aperol spritz on the deck of a sailboat. This spring, designers are charting a more playful course, scattering cheeky sailboat prints across silk scarves, swapping standard buttons for tiny enamel anchors, and looping rope-knot belts through impeccably cut shorts. The result is a capsule of timeless silhouettes—Breton tees, cable-knit pullovers, tailored shorts—that still slip seamlessly into your daily wardrobe yet instantly cue “vacation mode” the moment you step off the plane. Pack it, wear it on repeat, and prepare for smooth sailing wherever the season takes you.

• I LOVE a Tory Tunic and just got this classic navy version which is made of a beautiful, fine cotton. Throw on over this preppy white tank swimsuit and pack your pool essentials in this rope tote to complete the look.
• This navy dress has a gorgeous shape and when you look closely the eyelet features rope swirls and anchors in the pattern! The nehru collar and halter style are a little sexy while still providing a lot of coverage. Ugh, I love it. Pair with a simple white wicker clutch.
• My striped trousers above are so comfortable, and due to the high-waist and vertical stripe they really elongate your figure. Pair with a simple white tank for an effortless seaside look. (This white tank is the BEST, but this one is really good and 1/4 the price).
• My pajama collection is almost entirely striped, and these and these are two of my favorite styles - chic options for sipping your morning coffee on a hotel balcony overlooking the water.
• This easy shirtdress has flattering sleeves and a fun oceanic print. Pair with chunky fisherman sandals or delicate thong sandals. (Under $150!)
• I just got this striped shortsleeve sweater (on sale!) which has a lovely linen-silk knit that looks equally fab with my favorite relaxed denim as it does with white high waisted trousers. I'd tie this rope belt at the waist of the trousers - so chic!
• I love the metallic clasp on this one shoulder swimsuit, and would pair with this stunning blue and white pareo for pool days.
• I just ordered this cute sailboat set for our baby boy - the embroidery is beautiful and such a great price!
• This navy and white colorblocked dress is nautical, yet refined. Play up the seaside vibe with fun shell earrings or lean more professional with these chic navy slingbacks.
• A thick cabana stripe is always so chic, especially on this maxi dress. I'd pair with these grecian inspired sandals that are on major sale this weekend!
• I love a long crochet dress as a beach coverup, and this one is elevated and 60% off! Complement the simple silhouette with a statement shell necklace for lunch alfresco before returning to a sun lounger for the afternoon.
• This striped straw tote will add nautical polish to any white dress in your closet. (Find my favorite white dresses here!)
• I love the sunset hues and abstract nature of this nautical printed dress. I'd pair with a strappy heel like this for a dinner date by the water.
• This linen dress is one of Tuckernuck's bestselling styles. (It has over 1,000 reviews!) It works with sneakers for ice cream runs or chic statement flats for a casual dinner date.
• Every woman needs a classic breton stripe top and this short sleeved shirt has the right effortless je ne sais quoi. Pair with white pants, shorts or a skirt - or just a bathing suit!
• This strapless dress is begging to come along on your next coastal getaway.
• A striped tee lends instant coastal allure to any look, and I'd pair with this scarf tied at my neck or in my hair with white linen pants for an outfit that works from Cape Cod to Capri.
• This striped cotton shirtdress is on sale for under $125 and a current favorite of mine. (Last seen here!) Throw a white beach sweater over your shoulders and pair with these timeless and super comfortable slides.
• This breezy shell-print coverup is so happy and comes in maxi and mini versions.
• For a subtle take on the nautical trend, slip on this ruched navy dress which is as comfortable as a t-shirt but elevated enough for fine dining, and pair with a shellegant clutch and strappy espadrilles (I own and love these, but size down 1/2 size!)
