Nautical Trend: Classic, Preppy and Chic

As we see more and more spring (and summer) fashion make its debut, I cannot help but notice that the nautical trend is back in full force. I am not at all surprised. The nautical trend is classic, preppy and chic. I am thrilled to see that it's still hot for 2014. As I was rounding up the items for this post, I remembered I did a nautical trend post almost exactly a year ago where I also shared my key rules for pulling off the trend. If you're curious or looking for tips, check it out - the rules still apply! In the meantime, below are a few of my nautical faves, 2014 edition.

1 |  2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24

With all of these nautical items appearing in stores, it must mean spring and summer are coming soon, right? It's so hard not to scoop up every single item! However, I predict that we will see many more items make their appearance over the next few months as well. All of this nautical talk definitely has me dreaming about summer and boating, but instead a snow storm is coming (again). Kind of sounds like a broken record, doesn't it? I just keep reminding myself warmer weather is coming eventually…it has to, right?

Are you excited for the return of the nautical trend?
