Ship Shape

With the 50th anniversary of Jaws approaching, we’re taking this summer’s style cues from an unexpected character: the ornery but lovable shark-hunting Quint.

Fisherman-core is the latest of the fashion “core”s to surface in these warmer months, but it’s not as niche as you might think.

Get your sea legs ready with chunky knits, Breton stripes, and khakis in relaxed fits; all key pieces that may already live in your closet. Then, go fishing for playful, maritime-inspired prints and accessories featuring scales, shells, ropes, or wave motifs. Tie that with a netted bag or even a fish-shaped purse (yes, you need it!) and a pair of wide-strap, flat sandals and you’re ready to set sail.
