Maritime Trend for Spring & Summer: Your 90s Take on Nautical

Balmain, Victoria Beckham

We always expect the appearance of nautical trend every spring, strong sailors stripes make us cling to that ever-versatile stripe top. But this season, nautical takes a 90s turn as street styling transforms classic stripes, dog-tooth and rococo prints. Styles to watch for spring and summer are oversized shapes, sporty bomber jackets and a scattering of embellishment.

On the catwalk, Balmain unleashed attitude with bold checks, feminine and vintage-inspired stripes, and heavy gold detailing for a tough yet luxe edge. While Victoria Beckham opted for clean sailing with hints of pastel. Shop Boohoo´s Maritime Trend, take a peek!
