I like this trend a lot.

This trend does seem to resurface every couple of seasons (much like butterflies!) but I always seem to like it. It can be done so fresh & chic and elegant, but when paired with Gaultier & Breton stripes it makes me think of the uber-kitschness that is Pierre et Gilles who of course did the imagery for Gaultier's Le Male packaging.

For my formal, me and some friends are going to dress up as sailors, it will be sooo much fun!!! and we have already bought the cute hats, and are going to get striped tees and white pleated skirts, anyother ideas would be fantastic!!! Like i dont no what i should take as a bag, thats sailor-ish....

 

[softgrey]

i love the pics you posted stilista.......

 

[henriette]

sailor pants & navy-striped long-sleeved knits never go out of style, though i prefer to wear them separatley.

 

[julesrules815]

^definitely! if you wear them togehter, it looks too costume-y

 

[stilista]

i love the pics you posted stilista.......

I'm pleased you like them! I'm going to look at more Pierre et Gilles photography, I'd forgotten how much I liked it

I love that style. It is fresh, sort of preppy but not in the annoying way.
There was an editorial about it in ElleGirl DE and it was just gorgeous, will scan!

 

[julesrules815]

the nautical look is in someone's collection every spring

i'm loving all of this......
everything nautically-inspired has always held such allure for me.....

my grandmother used to dress me up as a little girl in all of this....
wrap me up in navy and white....boat-necks and wide stripes and rope....
right down to the shoes....i remember it all so clearly....

i still have some of the little pieces!!...

i love that it is a look that can be carried from childhood to adulthood and mould with you even as your tastes and lifestyle change so greatly...
it is such an eternally chic look....

beautiful....thankyou for all the images....

 

[adorefaith]

^^ did that come out incorrectly....wrap me up in rope...??....


i didn't mean it that way......
