Nauticaljacket

While the warmer weather continues for some of us, there's every excuse to indulge in summer clothing that manages to be both stylish and practical. This Sybil Striped Nautical Jacket from Missguided is an ideal choice at a price that's easy to say yes to.

The cropped shape lends itself well to a crossover fifties/sixties aesthetic, adding a femininity to the sailor-inspired piece. Made from a light jersey fabric, it's the perfect cover-up for summer evenings, too. The Breton stripe stays classic in navy and white, while the addition of anchor-emblazoned gold look buttons has a cool kitsch.
