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

By Sarah Macken March 18 2025

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 sailorcore. On the runway for SS25 – from Ralph Lauren and Erdem to Max Mara – there were multiple nautical nods, with sailor hats, bibs, and polished brass all on show. 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, which you can picture Kate Moss wearing with ballet flats. Add a pair of sailor trousers to your wishlist: a timeless classic that pairs well with both crisp shirting and a great T-shirt, especially from French labels Sézane and Claudie Pierlot. A final note: get on board with boat shoes as the most novel way to pledge your allegiance to the sailorcore look.
