Keep the ship theme subtle in the office with this soft pocket
square. Anchor Chief pocket square, $42 at Bonobos.
The perfect print for a pool party? Swimming fish. Hawkings McGill seersucker short, $49 at Urban Outfitters.
Bungee belts—another trend this summer—are a staple in the nautical aesthetic. O-ring flat braided belt, $79.50 at Club Monaco.
The shape of an anchor makes for a sleek, chic tie bar subtle enough for the 9-to-5. Anchor tie bar, $65 at J.Crew.
Whether an afternoon in the cabana or out on the boat, you can never
have too many tank tops. Striped tank top in dark blue, $12.95 at
H&M.
If nautical had a BFF, a stripe pattern would be it. Stripe knit silk tie, $47.49 at Nordstrom.
Anchor patterns should be in thinner prints, like on these shorts, not bold and loud like a drunken sailor. Dockers anchor rolled short, $39 at
Urban Outfitters.
An accessory like the cuff link is an excellent way to show off the nautical look in a classic and conservative fashion. Vintage ship cuff links, $65 at Billy Reid.
SPF only goes so far, so keep the sun’s rays at bay with this fedora. Single stripe straw fedora, $29.95 at Gap.
Pastel and muted stripes fit well with the cool beach breeze.
Short-sleeve popover in brick red stripe, $79.50 at J.Crew.
Stripes and leather add contrast to those solid, muted chinos or shorts. Boater belt in blue, $150 at Rag & Bone.
Anchor the nautical look (pun intended) with a bottom in a solid color, preferably pastel, such as these shorts. Maddox linen herringbone short in green, $89.50 at Club Monaco.
Yacht-club- and golf-course-approved, a polo will never
steer you wrong. Slub jersey stripe polo, $65.50 at Brooks Brothers.
Pair this lightweight neckwear with that fedora for windy
afternoons on the boat. Big ethnic printed scarf, $39 at Scotch & Soda.
Insert a splash of color with this short-sleeve shirt over a solid pair of shorts or chinos. Short-sleeve gingham check seersucker sport shirt, $65.50 at Brooks Brothers.
