Dear Glamourettes,

Good news for money saving Glamourettes, the nautical trend which was very big last summer is set to continue into spring summer 2010.

See the collections for Tommy Hilfiger shown in New York and Givenchy’s jackets from the Paris show.

Nautical is a flattering look to wear, and can be achieved with minimum effort. Any wardrobe can be easily adapted to fit in with this trend, a striped tshirt will do the trick or if your feeling thrifty even a few gold buttons sewn across the shoulder seams of a jumper will instantly transform it for the new season.

For more statement pieces there is no shortage available out there on the high street, online and in the designer houses.  

The look above is brought to you by high street and online retailer Next. Next has always been a great destination for fashion basics, but more recently the odd high fashion item and a great shoe department, all of these are at great competitive prices.

A tailored blazer is a fab investment piece if you haven’t already got one leftover from last season with the boyfriend jacket trend. As with the look above for those braver souls a nautical tee or blazer paired with shorts is also a good look. Shorts were hot on the catwalks with the likes of Marc Jacobs and even Hermes daring to bare.

Tailored Blazer £45 Striped T-Shirt £32 Cuffed Shorts £20 Platform Sandals £38 Nautical Bracelets £12. All at Next.
