Heritage-inspired Summer 2017 collection brings authenticity of Nautica

The Nautica journey of the Tailored Traveler continues for Summer 2017, moving from coastal seaside ports to chic poolside cabana settings. From striped swimwear to breezy fabrics and heritage inspired knits, this season reflects a summer of endless possibilities.
The men’s collection includes a vibrant color palette made up of Riviera blues, softened aquas and sun-washed corals. Classic warm-weather fabrics such as chambray, linens and french terry are represented across the collection, from knits and button-downs to shorts and pants. Patterns are clean, striped and colorblocked, with moments of leaf and floral prints sprinkled throughout. Heritage, athletic-inspired pieces make a big statement, with trimmed cotton pique polos, zip track jackets and colorful swimwear, reminding us of our authentic origins.
A versatile stretch breaker short can be worn poolside, or paired with a light layering sweater or polo shirt to create a more polished evening look. A unique chambray-inspired nylon bomber can be worn as a key transitional piece for when the season turns. From trusted seasonal favorites to unique statement pieces, this collection is made up of refined styles that work from the pool to the city.
The women’s collection consists of delicate sunset hues like soft pinks and dusty blues, offset with stronger shades of Vermillion Orange and Deep Indigo. Bold prints such as graphic scarf prints, floral patterns, batik dye and brush stroke stripes are mixed with nautical-inspired white and navy stripes. Classic poolside dresses are reinvented, appearing in a breezy striped linen chambray and a variegated stripe maxi dress. Iconic pieces like the Breton stripe knit top and the classic indigo denim jacket feature new subtle finishes and nautical touches.
This season’s knits, designed in relaxed silhouettes of cotton linen slubs, serve as go-to pieces with feminine draping and a soft hand feel. Novelty grommet details can be found on pieces across all categories. Long-sleeve pieces like the indigo marled sweater or the chambray linen viscose blazer are perfect for the season’s cooler nights on the water.
The Nautica Summer 2017 Modern Lifestyle Collection brings chic poolside adventures and resort getaways to life by mixing classic, updated nautical pieces with heritage-inspired items for a season worth remembering.
