Queen Victoria sent tongues wagging when she dressed young , Edward VII, in a sailor suit and ever since, there has always been doses of the nautical trend throughout fashion. Although often pegged as quite a smart trend with its gold oversized anchor buttons and fitted navy blazers there is an up and coming twist on this look. Nautical has gone rugged and effortless inspired by men grafting at sea wearing functional clothing as well as durability and with winter upon us, comfort and style seem to go hand in hand. The key is to keep it simple and not look like you just stepped off your privately hired yacht, but to steer clear of gold and use white and navy with touches of beige or browns with moderation.

From the sea to our shores, the ever so classic navy and white stripes will always for the basis of this trend and this Norse Projects Hauge LS Tee in Off White and Dress Blue has navigated its way into our hearts with its ribbed navy crewneck and sleeves making it easy to wear season after season.

Corduroys are always a go to garment whether your a marine bracing yourself for a feisty storm at sea, or an urban gentleman fighting his way through the winter chills they are known for their durability especially when Universal Works are in steering the ship and these Universal Works Suit Chino come in this classic army colour and taper slightly towards to hem allowing you to roll them up and show off your hard wearing winter boots.

Now what nautical look would be complete without this Won Hundred Sailor Hat in Total Eclipse (worn slightly to side of course for full affect). Made from a chunky navy wool mix which will most certainly keep your head warm.

Keep it simple and you can't go wrong so set your sail this season, GB style.
