Gentlemen looking to acquire that sultry sailor look are in luck, because these nautical menswear looks are here to provide that chic seafarer appearance that comes with cruising the open waters of the sea.
Traditional sailors often featured a very traditional overall appearance. The use of blue and white stripes and iconic sailor hats have been used as striking nautical references in fashion for years now. That's why there should be no surprise as to why these modern menswear collections have incorporated these iconic sailor references into the designs as way to portray that breezy, seaside feeling.
From streetwear sailor collections to sailor-inspired fashion shoots, these nautical menswear looks are bringing back seafarer styles back into the 21st century.
