Stripes are always popular but I especially love it when they are incorporated into the summery nautical theme. Whether you are taking a boat trip or going for a beach resort holiday, nautical inspired designs are great pieces to bring along to add to that holiday cheer!

The first look I have put together consists of items that I think would be great for a pool party or more dressy event. The Topshop striped dress is a love at first sight for me and it is available in regular sizing here as well for ladies who prefer a longer length. It matches so well with the feminine summer straw hat and cute crystal stud earrings in my opinion!

Top-Sider® ‘Anchors Aweigh’ Maxi Dress From Nordstrom

This second look is more fun and casual compared to the first. Maxi dresses are really popular this summer and I absolutely love the chic mirroring effect and cute anchor prints of the ‘Anchors Aweigh’ Maxi Dress! Anchor motifs can also be found in bags and jewelry for that cool sailor vibe, as seen above.

Apart from stripe prints and anchor graphics, the nautical fashion style also include adorable marine-inspired designs such as a pair of lovely penguin studs or sea shell pendant necklace as found here. Such designs are more creative and can definitely complement the classic stripe pieces.
