Ship Shape Style
04-02-2009
The catwalks and the high street are recycling stock! This coming summer one of the trends to follow is the Nautical Theme. A light, easy casual look that featured last summer in many high street stores. Based mainly around red, white and blue you can mix in a dash of yellow or pink for a softer look. The military style double breasted that we saw last season are featured strongly as well. Because of the trend featuring last year you can save money easily, and stay ‘afloat'! (… afloat… like a boat!)
