Curate your May maritime wardrobe …
SHIPPING FORECAST: The nautical mood sweeping the SS26 runways feels polished, not costumey. Celine, Ralph Lauren and Dior are just a few of the fashion houses to embrace maritime fashion again. Think classic navy paired with soft whites, red and denim but with a sharp, modern edge – it’s safe to say the “coastal grandmother” sensibility is taking a back seat this season. What to invest in? Stripes (T-shirts and shirts) are central to the trend. Tailored navy blazers, white cotton trousers (try threading a silk scarf through the belt loops), and classic, functional totes will tie it all together. Sneakerinas (the hybrid of ballet flats and sneakers) add an unexpected contrast.
