We’ve all been moaning about the wet and windy weather for well over a week now, and although there’s nothing we can do about it (the weathergods don’t seem to be responding to our pleas right now) we can make the best of a bad situation.

All this unnecessary water has got us thinking about the nautical trend; after all, who doesn’t love the chance to dress like a sailor and embrace the stripes eh?

We only had to cast our minds back to a few weeks ago when Jean Paul Gaultier launched his Diet Coke bottles for some recent inspiration. See – there’s a silver lining to every cloud!

Take a look at some of our favourite nautical pieces dominating the literal and online shelves. We bet you’ll find something you like… and if you’re anything like us, a swift fashion purchase is bound to turn your weather-induced frown upside down.
