In our article we will teach you how to combine colors correctly and create your own marine style in your wardrobe.
Have you seen photo shoots by the sea or on a yacht in fashion magazines? Do you remember what harmonious images the models had? If you want to look just as good and bring back stunning photos from the sea, you should listen to the advice from our article. It examines different styles, colors, and styles that, in the right combination, will make the image holistic and harmonious.
A certain style of image can not only lift your mood or emphasize your individuality, but also add new colors to your life. The maritime style of clothing is invariably associated with relaxation, summer warmth and the coolness of azure water. In itself, such an outfit is not difficult to create, but very original and unusual.
Accessories. In particular, these are hats and caps. There are two options for hats for sailors: a visor cap and a cap. Accordingly, the first one is sewn according to a simplified pattern; it does not have a visor, but it looks extremely stylish. The second, on the contrary, is complemented by a visor. She is also called the 'captain';

Color palette. Don't think that any stripe will immediately make you a little closer to the nautical style. The most suitable colors are blue, black white, red and gold. At the same time, the main ones in the range should be white and blue (or black), and red and gold act exclusively as additional ones. Please note that in some countries, gray and natural beige also predominate in nautical themes.
If the goal is not to become the star of a themed birthday party or to decorate a corporate party, there is no need to wear all the bright accents at the same time. It is enough to follow the color scheme and complement the image with a few catchy details.
Marine style in clothing for women can have two directions: sailor and captain.
The sailor style of clothing was simple and relaxed. Coco Chanel loved him very much. Due to its unusual nature, this trend gained particular popularity among aristocrats. The British were especially proud of their fleet, so almost every weekend they dressed 'like sailors' and walked in the squares;
The captain's style is radically different from the sailor's. There is no ostentatious simplicity or looseness here; on the contrary, all elements of the image speak of high status. Buttons and other metal parts are traditionally painted gold or silver. To add rigor to the outfit, it is recommended to complement the outfit with military-style outerwear: an overcoat, a jacket, and others.
You can also immediately distinguish these styles with the help of a simple analysis of the outfit's palette. The brighter the shades, the simpler the image is considered. For example, dark blue is the prerogative of senior personnel, but at the same time, sailors wear vests with black stripes.
To complete the look, it is recommended to try on accessories. For the 'sailor' style these are rope necklaces, caps and others. For captains - hats or caps, gold buttons, stripes with metallic threads and others.
Of course, yuft boots are considered traditional sailor shoes: with thick non-slip soles. But if we talk about casual nautical style for women, the simplest and most pleasant option is ballet flats or open sandals to match the outfit. Often such fashionable additions are made of canvas to once again remind you of the origins of the outfit.
Shoe options to complement the nautical style of clothing:
Moccasins or sleepers on flat rubber or jute (rope). They combine two elements of a nautical theme - the presence of ropes and simplicity. This allows you to flaunt these shoes along the beach coasts and embankments;
Ballet shoes. Another simple and stylish option that will perfectly match any chosen nautical style. Red ballet shoes will create a bright accent, and blue or beige ones will highlight the bright stripes on the vest;
Sneakers. White sneakers go perfectly with any outfit. Converse or low-top regular New Look models will be a great alternative to moccasins.
Brands offer various options for women's clothing in a nautical style. The most common are luxurious blouses and T-shirts with a turn-down wide collar. What to wear to look like a real sailor:
Sailor suit. A T-shirt with short sleeves and a straight cut, the main feature of which is a wide square collar. The second name is T-short. Unlike a traditional vest, a sailor jacket is not necessarily complemented by a striped print. It can be plain: blue, white or light blue;
Vest. This is a long sleeve with a stripe print. Borrowed from the uniform of the Russian navy. Real vests must be painted white with blue stripes;
T-shirt. An analogue of a classic vest, but with short sleeves or without them at all. This is a great option for the summer, especially considering that many designers create real works of fashion art from such T-shirts. They are decorated with cutouts, stripes, and complemented with lace inserts and frills. You can easily make it yourself if you just carefully cut off the sleeves of the turtleneck and (if necessary) sew on stripes;
Pencil or cargo skirt. These models are an example of a universal basic wardrobe. They fit any top. The pencil model can be successfully combined with spacious sailor shorts of any color, and cargo will complement the look with a vest or a light overcoat jacket;
Jeans. Mom jeans or boyfriend jeans will add simplicity and eclecticism to the outfit, mixing the lightness of the image and the convenience of an everyday outfit. In a high-waisted model, you can tuck in vests or make an asymmetrical release. Another significant advantage of such a bottom is that it is suitable for thin and plump girls;
Straight cotton trousers. You don't have to wear jeans in summer. Trousers made from natural fabrics - linen, cotton or canvas - look even more organic when worn as a sailor. In addition, they can be any color: red, beige, white. The only thing is that these clothes do not need to be weighed down with embroidery or other overly bright elements;
Dresses with various prints. Not a single fashion collection dedicated to nautical style can do without them. It is absolutely not necessary to wear a sailor suit if you want to transform into a true sailor. Lovely wrap dresses or options with a sun skirt will highlight the femininity of the nautical style. The combination of this clothing with a peakless cap and light-colored sneakers or sleepers looks especially interesting.
If you are going to a party dedicated to a marine theme, then you can use a more extravagant style of clothing - pirate (as in the photo). Then we recommend decorating yourself with a bandana, various scarves, or even a decorative eye patch. The main advantage of this choice is the opportunity to buy a ready-made suit.
