Sailorcore Is Trending: Here's What You Need To Know

Lean into spring’s maritime mood …

More polished than the fisherman aesthetic, which hinges upon low-key staples like rain macs and cable-knit jumpers, spring’s maritime mood leans into full-blown sailor. Sailorcore, to be precise. On the runway for SS25, there were multiple nautical nods, with sailor hats, bibs and polished brass all on show. See brands such as Max Mara, Erdem and Ralph Lauren. Sailorcore is trickling down to how we shop, too: fashion index Lyst has reported that searches for Breton stripes are up 388 per cent this quarter.

What’s trending now? We love Cali-cool brand Dôen’s take on the look, with linen tops and mini shift dresses that you can instantly see Kate Moss wearing with a pair of great black ballet flats. Add a pair of sailor trousers to your wish-list. They’re classic and go well with both crisp shirting and a great T-shirt. (Make French labels such as Sézane and Claudie Pierlot your go-tos here.) A final note: get on board with the boat shoe. It’s the most novel – and perhaps the coolest – way to pledge your allegiance to the sailorcore look.
