The Nautical Edit

There is something so crisp and timeless about nautical style in the spring. Fresh navy and white always feel right this time of year, offering a look that is both polished and effortless. From classic striped knits to tailored blazers, sailboat motifs, and chic gold-button details, these are the pieces I reach for when I want my wardrobe to feel refined, versatile, and ready for everything from seaside strolls to casual lunches in town.

• I love the vintage feel of this navy matching set. It looks incredibly chic worn together with simple slingback flats or sandals, or you can split the pieces up to wear the top with white denim later this spring. This knit set is so comfortable, holds its shape well, and is machine washable, plus you can get $50 off your order with code "Stacie50".
• There are many striped sweaters to choose from but this striped crewneck is likely to be my most-worn this spring. It's cropped enough to look amazing with high waisted jeans and skirts, but is cut loose enough so it isn't clingy. Throw it over your shoulders like I did above, or pair it with crisp ecru jeans and loafers for a classic weekend look.
• The gold toggle hardware on this ivory leather bag is subtly nautical and adds such an elegant touch. I would carry it by the top handles for a lunch date, or use the crossbody strap when running errands around town. I love it so much I have it in camel and am tempted by the navy woven version as well.
• A beautifully tailored cotton midi dress is a true wardrobe hero. The square neckline and pleated waist flatters every figure. Wear it to spring weddings with a block heel, or dress it down for brunch with woven flats.
• I just got this beautiful cashmere wrap scarf featuring hand-painted sailboats. It is the perfect lightweight layer to drape over your shoulders on chilly coastal evenings or wrap around your neck with a trench coat. Same goes for this silk scarf, which I plan to wear tied in my hair, or as a belt with this leather scarf belt.
• There is nothing easier than a knit midi dress for transitional weather. Throw it on with a blazer now, and switch to strappy sandals and a sun hat for summer getaways.
• How fun is the contrast sailor collar on this cozy cotton sweater? The scalloped piping gives it a sweet, feminine edge that pairs perfectly with tailored navy pants for work or play. (Size down.)
• This iconic navy cotton tunic is a piece you will reach for year after year. It works beautifully as a chic swimsuit coverup by the pool, or styled with crisp white jeans and gold jewelry for an evening out.
• This crisp linen midi dress features a beautiful hand-painted stripe effect. I just tried it on in store and the slim silhouette is incredibly flattering. Just add your favorite heels (these are amazing!) for meeting friends for a cocktail.
• I am always drawn to a classic nautical knit, and this striped sweater is no exception. The cozy merino wool is perfect for breezy spring mornings paired with crisp white denim and simple loafers.
• Date nights call for something sophisticated, like this tailored sleeveless blouse. The hook and eye closures are such a chic detail. I would style it with wide-leg white trousers, a chic clutch (love how it looks like a knot), and gold earrings.
• What could be cuter than the sailboat motif on this nautical cardigan? It is a cozy, heavyweight layer that looks absolutely adorable tossed over a simple white tee and jeans for chilly boat rides.
• Striped accessories are the perfect way to welcome spring, and this coastal block sandal is a fresh take on one of my most-worn pairs of heels. I preordered them along with these striped slingback flats, both of which will make any navy, blue, or white piece in your wardrobe feel fresh for spring.
• A sporty stripe on this canvas tote is reminicent of sailcloth and makes it an instant spring staple. It is incredibly lightweight and water-resistant, making it my ideal companion for busy office commutes or long travel days.
• This one-shoulder dress feels effortless and the cinched waist reminds me of Ariel's dress when she's washed up on land with legs. Wear it barefoot on the beach, then add these shell earrings for seaside cocktails.
• This navy and cream pleated skirt is so chic, and I'd wear it with the buttons off center with a simple navy tank and woven leather clutch.
• Weekend errands are so much chicer in this practical navy skort. It offers the polished look of a mini skirt with the comfortable ease of shorts, making it ideal for everything from golf to grocery runs. Pair with this pointelle sweater and crisp white sneakers.
• If you want an outfit that feels instantly put-together, this polo dress is the answer. The knit fabric is incredibly comfortable. I would style it with clean white slides for travel, or block heels for an al fresco lunch.
• I am completely smitten with the dual collar detail on this cable knit sweater. The thick cotton gauge provides lovely texture. It is the ultimate preppy layer to drape over your shoulders or wear with tailored white chino shorts and gold sandals.
• The woven rope trim on this striped linen skirt adds such a chic, unexpected detail. It is a stunning choice for spring luncheons or dinners on vacation. Just tuck in a crisp white blouse and add simple sandals!
• There is an effortless elegance to this striped polo. The subtle touch of cashmere makes it feel wonderfully luxurious. I would wear it with tailored trousers for meetings, or throw it on with denim shorts and woven woven ballet flats for Saturday farmers market runs.
