If its summer time and there is an outdoor event going on - someone somewhere is always wearing.....stripes!
Here at Kit Heath we just love the Nautical trends that re-occur in one form or another year on year - making us re-asses our wardrobes and head out to the shops to grab the latest pair of espadrille wedges and St.James t-shirt! Its timeless, classic and well lets face it makes casual, smart!
It marks the arrival of summer, of holidays by the coast, relaxation and excitement.
We love it on the beach, we love it for Cowes week and for Henley. We love it for summer BBQ's with friends and a glass of Pimms or three, but most of all we love it for its sense of tradition.
Whether it is stripes, knots, yacht motifs or gold bottoms on sleeves - sometimes it is the little things that make an outfit bang on trend.
Its all about the embellishments, so lets make it a figure of eight necklace in high polished silver to match the stainless steel cleats on deck!
It's couture roots make us feel like Coco herself, aspirations of 20's glamour aboard luxury yachts, hazy evenings in Saint Tropez soaking up the chic bars and restaurants by the marina post afternoon cruise. Yes, yes, yes! Let it be us - the glitterati, swapping Jimmy Choo's for Dubarrys!
We know it comes about every year and that is why we love it so - it's like the CocaCola advert reminds us its Christmas and that "the holidays are coming!"
