Red Sky At Night, Sailor’s Delight. Red Sky In Morning, Sailor’s Warning

Want to be a sailor?

Make sure your bottoms are high waisted, add bold horizontal stripes, a calm white, a shade of cherry red, a navy blue, the typical anchor accessory, and canvas shoes. As bold as this may sound, the nautical theme is a simple and well put together look. Remember not to overplay the ensemble, you don’t want to look as if you’re wearing a costume. 

Tips found at eHow:

• Wear a thin navy and white horizontal-striped sweater with wide leg navy or white pants and a gold bangle bracelet for a timeless nautical feel.
• Pair a white jean skirt with a boat-neck T-shirt in navy or red and add a thick navy belt and navy Keds.
• Invest in classic sailor pants, which have two rows of buttons on the front panel. These can give any outfit a nautical feel without looking overdone.
• Use wide-leg dark jeans as the staple of your outfit, then layer a bright white v-neck sweater over a navy blouse or T-shirt. Add red beads for an extra pop.
• Remember that a well-tailored navy blazer with white jeans captures a simple but classic nautical feel that you can wear anywhere.
• Give a plain outfit a nautical feel by putting on gold anchor earrings or a necklace with anchors. This is a quick and inexpensive way to achieve this look.
• Substitute royal blue, bright green or deep yellow instead of navy for a fresh variation on the expected nautical theme.

Want more? Invest in a cropped pea coat, canvas wedges, and lightweight scarves.
