If you’re looking for a trendless summer look then the nautical touches which abound this season are for you. Not only does the sailor look have longevity, it’s ultra-flattering – think: A-line shapes, all-weather, long-sleeved marinière tops and square neck sundresses. The details to look for? Contrast stitching adds interest to linen pieces, while slouchy white trousers in the same fabric are a do-it-all piece.
