Nothing screams summer like chic and sophisticated nautical striped swimsuits! This classic trend is no longer reserved for sailors and fishermen. Nope, thanks to Coco Chanel and a growing list of A-list celebs, the popular horizontal striped pattern has evolved into a casual-chic style staple that every woman should have in her summer wardrobe…and that includes you!
Designers such as Rygy Sport have known for years that nautical striped swimsuits are a classic and casual-chic way to celebrate summer. New 2010 swimsuit styles like the appropriately named Nautical Stripes two-piece and monokini feature the sexy style staple in red and white. But to snag a more classic look, check out the new navy and white Poa Unit swimsuit by Banana Moon or the blue and white Capri Spa swimsuit by Seafolly. We’re also loving the Mallorca swimsuit by Lisa Curran!
Whether featured in a casual tank, playful sundress, or a classic swimsuit, you can’t deny that nautical stripes are a top choice among fashion-forward women who plan to flock to the beach this summer. Sure, the timeless print may be simple, but it definitely packs a whole lotta punch! For 2010, don’t be scared to get a little bit “nauti,” with new nautical striped swimsuits!
