Summer Seasonal Trends: Nautical

For those with Summer types, nautical and coastal schemes offer an ideal way to embrace the season’s essence with cool, muted tones that complement your natural features.

Soft blues, crisp whites, and gentle neutrals to create harmonious and refreshing outfits. By incorporating shades like sky blue, seafoam green, and sandy beige, we can design looks that reflect the tranquility of the coast while enhancing your complexion. For example, layering a light blue linen shirt with white trousers and adding a coral scarf can create a chic and effortless ensemble perfect for a summer day. Accessories like nautical-themed jewelry and woven belts further enhance the coastal vibe without overwhelming your look. 

Coastal Inspirations from Nature

Coastal colors are inspired by the natural beauty of seaside environments. The colors of the ocean, sky, sand, and marine life play a pivotal role in shaping these palettes, bringing the tranquility and freshness of the coast into our designs.

Influence of Maritime Culture on Design

Maritime culture, with its emphasis on functionality and simplicity, has profoundly influenced nautical design. Elements such as rope, anchors, and weathered wood are commonly incorporated to evoke the rugged and practical spirit of seafaring life.

Blues, Whites, Neutrals

Nautical color schemes prominently feature various shades of blue, from deep navy to light sky blue, paired with crisp whites and soft neutrals. These colors evoke the serene and refreshing feel of the sea and sky.

Stripes, Anchors, Seashells

Stripes are a quintessential nautical pattern, often seen in clothing and decor. Other common motifs include anchors, seashells, and maritime symbols, adding a touch of nautical charm to any ensemble or space.

Shades of Blue: Navy, Sky, and Ocean Blue

Blues are the cornerstone of nautical palettes. Navy blue offers a deep, classic look, while sky and ocean blues bring lighter, more vibrant touches.

Crisp Whites and Off-Whites

Whites and off-whites complement the blues, providing a clean, airy feel that enhances the overall nautical theme.

Neutral Sands and Beiges

Neutral tones like sand and beige add warmth and balance, grounding the palette and making it versatile for various applications.

Accent Colors for Coastal Vibes

Soft Pastels: Coral, Seafoam, and Lavender

Pastels like coral, seafoam, and lavender introduce subtle color variations that enhance the coastal feel without overwhelming the primary palette.

Earthy Tones: Driftwood Brown, Seaweed Green

Earthy tones such as driftwood brown and seaweed green add depth and a natural touch, reflecting the diverse colors found along the coastline.

Outfit Combinations

Examples of Personalized Outfit Combinations

Consider a personalized outfit combination like a navy blue blazer over a white linen blouse paired with beige trousers for a classic look. Alternatively, for a more relaxed feel, try a sky-blue shirt with white shorts and a coral belt. These combinations not only adhere to nautical themes but also cater to individual skin tones, ensuring a harmonious and stylish appearance.
