Great sportswear should be easy to wear, easy to pair, and look effortlessly sophisticated. For spring 2015, Nautica marries styles and functionality with a collection inspired by latitude; a brilliant way to rethink the brand’s hallmark of sailor stripes and nautical motifs. Favorites include comfortable and slightly structured updates to the sheath dresses, form fitted nylon jackets and vests, chambray blouses and lightweight crew neck knits sweaters, all found in a palette of predominantly blue and cream. See the slide show above for my top picks from the collection, which you can shop at Nautica.com in the spring, but there’s also some great holiday gift items, from wallets and tech items to watches, sunglasses, handbags, hats, and robes!
