Growing up on a yacht in the Pacific means my idea of maritime wear is not based on anything related to fashion. Thankfully however nautical is regularly on-trend and I've included a few of my favourites - whether you're on the water, at the beach, visiting a bar or lounging at the club.
I love the Water Print dress from Max - a Maxi dress is ideal for any age and can be dressed up or down with ease. Along the more casual side is Ket-ze's Cycle Dress in a classic blue and white stripe. Australian label Gorman's love of print is showcased in the stylish look of reversed matching prints. For the more elegant occasion, try this timeless combination from Carlson - a flowing white dress worn with a bold navy striped jacket and you wouldn't look amiss in any of the world's premium sailing ports in this chic print two-piece from Camilla and Marc.
Accessorise your heart out with a wonderful hat from WORLD, the fabulous cat's eye sunglasses from Prada and on-point necklace from Zoe & Morgan and a playful bag from Deadly Ponies. Complete your look with Thierry Mugler's Aqua Chic Angel fragrance.
For stripy feet, check The Line Up for my selections from Witchery, Skechers and Kathryn Wilson. Ahoy to you all!
