Although sailors are usually known to roam the seas, it seems they are also testing the waters of the fashion world.
The nautical/sailor style may seem old fashioned, but the traditional blue and white colors of the style have been spotted in various locations of high fashion. 

Seen in fashion lines of companies like Victoria Secret and Wet Seal:

While being sported by celebrities like Katy Perry and Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester:

The Sailor Style is chic, trendy and up and coming.

This weekend when I went out to visit my sister in Buffalo, New York we headed to the Walden Galleria Mall with the plans of a shopping spree.The mall is always a hot spot for us because it is home to top fashion stores
like Guess, Urban Outfitters, Anthropology, H&M and Forever 21.

 After spending an hour in Forever 21, the store usually over-stocked with the cutest styles, it seemed this time, their clothes were letting me down. After sifting through racks of clothing, I finally came across the cutest pair of sailor style shorts. As I have written about in an earlier post, drawing mock tattoos is a habit of mine. One of my favorite things to draw is an anchor like Amy Winehouse’s (R.I.P). I was also a sailor girl for Halloween:

Spotting these nautical style shorts I knew I had hit the jackpot! Not only were these shorts the sailor style, they were high waisted. Yet another one of my favorite styles! I bought them right away and couldn't wait to wear them!

Here is the final look:

Of all the current fashion fads “happening” right now, my personal favorite is the thigh high sock.
The thigh high sock is one of the best fashion fads our current generation has.

Thigh high socks can transform any plain outfit to fashion forward in the simplest way possible.
They go perfect with a mini dress, a cute skirt, shorts or even an oversized t-shirt.
You can accompany them with a pair of tights, or simply just wear them alone.

You can switch them up by wearing print tights with a solid sock, or solid tights with a printed sock.

Although knee high socks are also currently in fashion, thigh high socks steal my heart because of their perfect length. The placement on your leg makes them look elongated for a dressy/classy look.

Also, the length is perfect for the current season. When it’s too cold to go bare legged but too nice to go out supporting a thick tight, the thigh high provides a perfect amount of coverage but doesn’t take away from your outfit, still giving you that fashion look.

Another plus about thigh high socks is that they can go with a variety of footwear. You can pair them with a heel for going out or combat boots to keep it casual.

When you feel your outfit is missing something, throw on a pair of thigh high socks, they are the perfect attribute to spice up any outfit!
