4 Core Fashion Finds

Nicole Sjostedt

Nautical-themed clothing is showing up in stores everywhere this summer. No surprise as whites, stripes, and linens are always summer favorites! This popular look may be labeled a trend, but it’s really a timeless wardrobe classic. Here are four great summer nautical finds:

Linen jacket: Always a fan of an easy pleaser, this light, airy jacket smartens up any casual ensemble. With a babydoll shape, pleat detail, and three-quarter sleeves, it’s a classic summer jacket with a modern, mod-like feel. Available at The Gap, $25, www.gap.com for locations across Canada.

Striped tank top: White and navy stripes were a match made in heaven! Fresh, clean, and regal is what this ribbed tank delivers. With a slight v-neck and longer cut, this is a perfect top to layer. Available at Banana Republic, $19, www.bananarepublic.com for locations across Canada.

High-waisted short: Finally a short that is sexy, stylish, and sensible! For those of us who enjoy keeping our knickers (panties) from the visual department and for the few of us who like the midriff covered, this retro 70’s high-waisted short tucks away the belly and elongates the legs. By Wilfred, $95, available at Aritzia Base. www.artizia.com for locations across Canada.
