Fashion lovers anxiously await Memorial Day for one reason and one reason only. It officially marks the start of the summer season — or at least, our summer-approved wardrobes. But white is not the only trend that’s finally in season! It’s true, there are a few other trends that can finally set sail.
What’s the one trend to set our sights on this season? Nautical, of course! The blue-and-white striped look reigns supreme all summer long. No matter how we wear it, it’s the beach-inspired look that is appropriate at almost any spring or summer event. But why blend in when we were born to stand out? Forget about following the trend, let’s lead it! Be the captain and take the lead in this designer sweater dress, now on sale!

Nautical-inspired looks have been all over the runway, but it’s an easy trend to add in our day-to-day lives, too. The Rag & Bone Short Dress nails the nautical trend to perfection in an easy, breezy way.
Whether we’re heading to an afternoon lunch or enjoying a night under the stars, this minidress will keep us warm, but not too warm. The knit dress is heavy enough to be worn at nighttime when looking to stay warm, but the sleeveless shoulders will keep things light and breezy for the day.
Speaking of light and breezy! The pencil-like silhouette is a lot looser fitting than most other pencil skirts. The bottom of the dress is more flared and less structured. It’s great when looking for a piece that appears chic but remains comfortable.
Just as chic? The blue and white contrast! Straying away from traditional nautical-inspired looks, this dress features three shades instead of just two. The rounded-collar features a blocky blue stripe that is supported by a lighter blue/grey-like stripe that alternates with a white one. The best way we can describe all three tones together? It’s not just a perfect trio, it’s a trifecta!

What’s the most lustworthy part of this dress? It can instantly be dressed up or dressed down at a moment’s notice! The classic and traditional feel make this silhouette ideal when adding a pair of all-white sneakers. Layer this look to perfection with an oversized denim jacket, too! This will be a great look when heading to any Memorial Day party or even looking ahead to the Fourth of July? Add a red lip here to really pledge our allegiance to America!
As easy as this look can be dressed down, it can be dressed up, too! Leave the red lip on and slip out of those sneakers! Go ahead and pair a yellow-based heel or maybe a nude strappy stiletto with it! Rather flats? No problem! Pick a summer-y sandal, like these simple slides. Pull the entire ensemble together with hoop earrings and even a nude tote! It’s the classic look that will have the perfect pop of color!
Looking to master the nautical trend? This striped dress will have Us all looking like a pro!
