All aboard!  Nautical-inspired clothing has set sail this season.  Designs from BCBG, French Connection, and Milly have updated the seafaring look with a new sophistication.  Nautical stripes, rope detailing, and red, white and navy blue still prevail,  but with a modern twist.  Shorter hemlines, luxurious fabrics, and simple details dominate these looks, making nautical chic the next best thing.  You’ll be ready to jump aboard with my top 5 picks!
