I keep imagining my summer like this: I go sailing in the Adriatic sea. I spend a month in Martha’s Vineyard. I take a roadtrip to Maine and eat lobster rolls. And in each summer fantasy I’m wearing stripes or rope, thanks to the coolness of nautical-inspired dressing. I love mixing the classic stripe with bold metallics or a sleek nude, and of course taking edgier versions of classic seafarer pieces. Here’s how to wear it:
A body-conscious skirt with a metallic top:
DKNY sequin top, $ at net-a-porter.com; BCBG skirt, $135 at bcbg.com
A little striped shift dress with killer nude or brown heels (a simple sandal would be great for day):

Canvas heels, off-grey skinny jeans and a playfully edgy top:
Or a really cool statement necklace and a hot lwd (little white dress, you need one for summer)
