Nautical is an aesthetic centered around sailing and living near the sea.
Visual[]
Nautical visuals mostly involve images of life on the sea, on a boat, or even from the shore living in a lighthouse (which differentiates it from a Tropical aesthetic, which tends to have more of a focus on warmer beaches as opposed to the rocky coasts often associated with Lighthouse imagery). This aesthetic also includes or relates to a ship tied up to the dock. This aesthetic gives the feeling of being at sea or on the ocean or relaxing on a boat or a yacht. Elements that can be included in the Nautical aesthetic include:
- The ocean and beach
- Boating/sailing
- Salty air
- Turtles
- Dolphins
- Seagulls
- Docks and boardwalks
- Lighthouses
- Beach houses
Fashion[]
Fashion found in the aesthetic often involves a navy jacket with brass buttons, a crisp white sailor's uniform, a sou'wester hat, and a yellow slicker, or a fisherman's sweater. Historic traditions in nautical dress continue to influence modern nautical apparel. When it comes to nautical dressing, blues, stripes, and sweaters are staples for a reason. Their look reflects the essence of what it should look and feel like to be on the sea. There is even a Lolita subgenre based on sailors(as well as pirates) that can be worn. A lot of resort wear can also be included in Nautical fashion. Items, colors, and patterns tend to include:
- Shades of blue, green, black, white, light pink, and cream colors
- Iridescence
- Scale patterns
- Loose fitting clothing
- Transparent and translucent materials
- Dresses
- Skirts
- Clothes featuring themes and motifs related to the sea
- Cardigans
- Beachwear
