Trendy Update
Make nautical feel more 2015 by styling classic pieces with edgier elements. We love how blogger Kate Davidson Hudson paired her Breton-stripe shirt and navy pea coat with an on-trend fringe skirt. For a slightly dressed-up version of the look, try this nautical striped top by Theory, $66.50, styled with this gorgeous Vince Camuto fringe pencil skirt in vanilla, $52.08.

Dress up nautical stripes like fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia with a monochromatic palette and structured, close-fitting separates. (Try this Guess Jersey Crop Top in black and white, $23.93, and Modern Kiwi Emily Pleated Midi Skirt in black, $25).

Stylish Separates
For a playful take on the trend, take a cue from J. Crew's summer collection and juxtapose nautical pieces like a rope belt and loose-fit striped tee (try this one by Volcom) with an unexpected silhouette or pop of color.

Kendall Jenner's striped crop top and culottes bring a sexy, fashion-forward flair to the nautical trend. Snag your own high-end pair of culottes here.

There's a reason nautical never goes out of style: The sailor-inspired trend, with its structured jackets, striped tees and navy and white color scheme, is one of summer's most universally flattering looks.

But if you're bored with the same nautical getups you've seen for decades, don't give up just yet. Scroll ahead for your ultimate shopping guide to nautical fashion this summer, and recreate each look with our affordable picks.
