- Keep it classy but cool in this season’s nautical This will be an easy and breezy look on Spring Break. Navy and white stripes abound and are essential to any nautical attire. And since nautical is a repeat of trends past and somewhat of a staple, you might even have plenty of choices in your current wardrobe. Go ahead and pull out that striped skirt or shirt.

Floral is in the air this spring!
