Today a pick your style after a silence of one week. This trend is a trend that always pops up almost every year in the designers collections. I guess it just brings that summery feeling with it, with beaches, the sea, ships.. Ships? Yes, this also called Nautical trend is based on the uniforms of sailors from the navy. The colours were then mostly blue, white and gold (the buttons), with a neckerchief + square knots and of course a white hat to top it off.
But what is this sailor style in fashion? Think about the colours red, blue, white, silver and gold. Think also of stripes, shorts and jumpsuits. And think of shapes that remind you of the sea, like anchors, steering-wheels, seastars and shells. Here are some items that portray exactely that nautical feeling:
Leg Avenue Women's Matey Peep Toe Pump
Full tilt nautical stripe women
anchor home!" woven bag in red
Sailing into the sunset Modcloth
Hearts Aweigh Necklace - Black
And now I'll show you an example of fashion that uses this trend. In the Korean Vogue of this year was namely a nautical shoot! Here are some pictures of it :) Also here is a shot from the fashionshow from Spijker and Spijkers S-S 2011, where the used the nautical theme but also made it quite new.
Oh, and I can't restrain myself to make a little sideline. I think some of you though the word sailor was connected to the japanese schoolgirluniforms. Indeed, those schooluniforms have a lot in commen with the original navy uniforms because they have that same collor and square knot, but it is still very different, because there is no nautical sense too it, its plainy used for school. This uniform is very commen to japanese daily life and is largely portraied in anime and manga, wich the navy uniform isn't. Sailor moon for example is one of the most famous animes and the characters wear indeed sailor uniforms for school but also when defying enemies.
Well.. that was it for today :) I hope this post makes my absense for a weak ok. Next post will be on wednesday I think. Realise that I can't take outfitpictures in a while, cause my camera is broken... But there will be a lot of fashion related stuff, I promise! :D
PS: Sailor Moon is btw a really good anime. I just watched the last season so I'm done with sailor moon now, but I kinda regret it cause it is so cute!
