Now it’s the turn of one of my favourite trends…nautical! Why is it my favourite you ask? Well, it’s easy peasy and I think it suits everyone.

Key colours for this naval officer/pirate trend are navy, black, white, gold and red. You can also go a bit silly with accessories - anchors on necklaces, neckties and bags, big sparkly rings and chunky gold bangles.

Your starting point for a great nautical themed outfit should be a stripey top, like this blue and white striped Barnaby vest from Firetrap which is also available in red and white - just choose the most flattering colour on you, or - since they’re only £9.99 - choose both!

Next up decide what you’d like on your bottom half - if the weather isn’t too bad try a denim skirt, or for a night out choose this Lipsy black tulip mini skirt, which costs just £12.99.

Another great nighttime ’sailor’ look is this Rare Tulip Curve dress in white which is just £9.99!! Team it with a stripey blue and white cardigan and a pair of Firetrap peep toe red heels to look fantastic!

For a daytime look, especially when the weather is a bit chilly try these dark blue Henley’s Dimk jeans which are just £24.99 (that’s £40 off the RRP!). This Apple Bottoms military jacket fits in perfectly with the nautical trend with its big gold buttons and cropped length. With a price of just £24.99 - saving you a massive £45 - it’d be rude not to!
