With summer in full swing, there’s definitely a deluge of nautical trends out there to dive into. The trick to pulling off the ever-popular nautical look is to keep things clean and subtle. Luckily, there are tons of nautical-inspired pieces out there for men this season that are not only super wearable, but classically stylish as well.

Below are a couple of key things to note when putting together your own nautical-inspired ensemble:

Stripes: Whether done in a lightweight sweater or a Henley tee, stripes are the cornerstone to a classic nautical look.

Crisp whites: White shorts or lightweight pants are quintessentially summer. Khaki, grey and navy are also great alternatives when it comes to bottoms or outerwear.

Boat shoes:  Whether you go for a traditional boat shoe or one of its many modern iterations, this is a classic summer staple you simply can’t go without.
