No matter if you’re beach-bound or sticking to the city streets, nautical outfits are one seriously festive way to celebrate the start of summer—sartorially speaking, of course. To be discovered below, there is an abundance of brands associated with maritime-inspired fashion, such as La Ligne, Zimmermann, Loro Piana, and Polo Ralph Lauren; however, even labels like The Row and Max Mara are following suit with their own delightfully nautical designs. Some of our favorites include classic fisherman sandals, woven tote bags, and even elegant espadrilles courtesy of Loewe.

At its core, a notably nautical outfit is masterfully minimal. Just take Toteme’s linen miniskirt, for example. When paired with a striped tank top from J.Crew and Everlane’s white overshirt, this final result is just the right amount of festive. Hat Attack’s fashion-favorite moon bag is not to be ignored in the equation, either. Equally as quietly luxurious are Loro Piana’s striped pajama-style pants. To match, style with Zara’s oversized button-up and a raffia tote from Hunting Season.

Now a moment for stripes—striped sweaters, to be exact. Whether it’s Matthew Bruch’s polo pick or Denimist’s crewneck version, the staple is essential to any nautical summer outfit. Styling-wise, the cozy choice pairs well with anything and everything, but especially denim shorts from Slvrlake or Citizens of Humanity’s baggy jeans. Delightful daytime dresses are also high on our summer’s most wanted list, specifically Lafayette 148’s striped strapless dress or a polished shirtdress from Khaite. Other nautical highlights include Zimmermann’s matching crochet skirt set, an Alex Mill striped suit vest, to statement swimwear from SIR and Eres.

Below, 10 notably nautical outfits to sport (and shop!) all summer long.

The Nautical Tank With a Linen Midiskirt

Nothing screams summer quite like a hint of linen or a blue and white stripe, of course. Luckily, this nautical outfit includes both. Frome Toteme and J.Crew, style the classic closet combination with espadrilles from Loewe and a raffia-adorned moon bag from Hat Attack. The finishing touch? Mateo’s delightfully dainty pearl necklace.

The Day Dress With a Classic Sneaker

Speaking of classic closet combinations, dresses and sneakers are the perfect pairing. Styling-wise, wear La Ligne’s striped midi dress with everyday white sneakers from Superga. Then, accessorize with a sun hat from Gigi Burris, Loeffler Randall’s woven tote, and simple pearl earrings from Mejuri.

The Flowy, Billowing Pant With a Boat Shoe

Breezy, billowing pants are one surefire way to stay cool and casual this summer—and this striped pair from Loro Piana is a prized pick. Style the staple with Zara’s oversized button-up and Agolde’s timeless white tank. Masterfully maritime accessories include boat shoes from Castañer and Hunting Season’s basket bag.

The Striped Polo Sweater With a White Jean Short

A striped sweater is a must in any nautical-inspired summer capsule wardrobe. Styled alongside white jean shorts from Slvrlake, the essential is effortlessly casual and chic. Fisherman sandals from The Row and a Prada bucket hat are nautical no-brainers, while Altuzarra’s Watermill tote is a seasonal star.

The Crisp White Shirtdress With a Smoking Loafer

Upgrade any summer workwear outfit by pairing Polo Ralph Lauren’s printed crewneck sweater with Khaite’s crisp white shirtdress and suede smoking loafers from Porte & Paire. The perfectly polished look goes one step further with a Dragon Diffusion tote bag and sunnies from Prada.

The Oversized Crewneck With a Baggy Jean

Metallic sandals from H&M add an element of shine to the attire, while The Row’s Banana shoulder bag is elegant enough to carry for everyday. Earrings from Lie Studio and Celine Eyewear shades are also noteworthy.
