Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away!

I've talked before about how nautical themes are a good look for spring and summer. This warm-weather genre is definitely one of my favorites and I think it has to do with the fact that my Grandpa was in the Navy and when I was in high school, I would wear his authentic, wool sailor pants as part of my own quirky style. I've outgrown the pants (my Grandpa was a thin, thin man and since then, well, I've added a few inches of hips!) but my love of nautical-inspired clothing stays with me - especially sailor pants.

Now days the naval look is pretty ubiquitous and it's not hard to find a pair of pants with a few buttons on each side that fit the nautical bill. I'm most partial to the authentic-looking navy blue pants, but those aren't always the most practical for hot summer months, which is why just about anything with extra buttons will do!

White sailor pants look crisp, summery and fresh and are easy to pair with summer favorites.

I love this pair of nautical-inspired capris because they integrate another nautical theme: stripes! Put any of these together with a crisp white blouse or a bright red tank top and you can't go wrong!
