The Lucky Magazine July 2012 'The Edge of Summer' photoshoot takes the publication's readership on to a tour of the high seas. Model Bekah Jenkins assumes the role quite well here, brandishing an Americana take on the [marine-friendly motif](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep).

The star-spangled banner displayed near the rear of a wooden boat in the Edge of Summer instantly brings about images of sailing trips spent along U.S. beds of water. And while some may harbor a fear of tides, Jenkins has invited viewers to merely peer at seaside ensembles as she is found sporting [blue and white stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit), loose sarongs and a knit see-through sweater. The best part of this editorial is the fact that it modernizes [classic nautical looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-sailcloth-tanker-jacket) with retro pink sunglasses and a patterned bra.
