Hellooooo, Sailor!

It’s Fleet Week here in New York City, and single girls are going out in throngs (and thongs) in an attempt to hook themselves a sailor.

The best game plan? Fashion.

“A very sophisticated nautical look is a popular trend this summer, not the sailor pants and sweaters with anchors we’re used to seeing in the past. This summer it’s more about white flat front pants with a slightly flared leg, paired with a navy blue and white striped sweater. For fun, finish this look with red or silver ballet flats and its anchors away!” says Shari Shakun, VP and General Merchandise Manager at SmartBargains.com.

Some of my favorite nautical looks:

From SmartBargains.com, this Helen Welsh Canvas Satchel is just the tool to bag your man.

Also from SmartBargains, check out this flirty Necessary Objects navy dress:

From Venus.com, this bikini has an Enhancer triangle top with molded foam cups to add cleavage and shape, which, of course, will make wooing said sailor an easier task.

From Fredericks of Hollywood, our favorite site for things from naughty to flirty to pretty, this cute sailor top is a must-try. Pair it with the anchor chain, it’ll send the message.

And on your toesies, you want these adorable Rockport sandals, perfect to complement your any nautical look:
