One of the numerous advantages of running a Real Estate & Yachting agency in Mykonos, is getting to spend a lot of time on board luxurious yachts! Therefore, my wardrobe essentials include a lot of Breton marinières and other striped garments. But again, that would still have happened even if I had a different job! 🙂 The greatest formula for a nautical chic look is navy blue, white and stripes! And if you opt for a more polished, fashionable look, a pop of red (lips, scarf or any accessory etc) will work like a charm!
The key elements of a nautical chic style:
Peacoats

Sailor Pants

Accessories
[show_lookbook_widget id=”302520″]
The Breton Marinière
[show_lookbook_widget id=”302519″]
The Breton marinière (“the French sailor shirt”) made a splash when it was worn by Coco Chanel at the French Riviera, who made it famous among the French upper classes. Following Chanel’s footsteps, Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier have reimagined many key elements of nautical chic attire with great success. The Breton marinière is a timeless basic piece (un basique) that looks good on everyone!
My favorite equation for stripe placement is 20 percent of the darker color, and 80 percent of the lighter. I wore my marinière with these Zimmermann culottes as an alternative to the sailor pants, a pair of sliders and glammed it up with a few minimal jewelries. The bag of the day was this Mulbrery clutch which we forgot to include in the photos of course! 🙂
What about you? Do you like the French sailor shirt and nautical chic attire? Let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for reading and have a gorgeous Friday!

I definitely love this look. Especially for the South of France. In fact I don’t know what makes me think of the French Riviera more than those cute little stripes haha. Loving the sandals you paired with this as well. You look stylish yet sporty for a boat ride. 🙂

You look gorgeous as always, Stella! I love this entire outfit, the pieces work so well together and are fitting (no pun intended 😉 for a day well spent on the boat! I had no idea that Chanel was the start of the striped shirt and why it’s associated with French style, I learnt something new today, thank you! I hope you have the most amazing week ahead, beauty, and thanks so much for sharing!
