The Nautical Look

Image

Three children are posing together on a wicker bench. Caption reads: "The nautical look is an important spring theme in children's wear, and it could mean the use of stripes in navy and white accented with red, or an outfit in black and white combined with touches of bright yellow. They also could include (from left) this knit top and short set, about $43, from Brigadoon; a striped jacket, $30, classic white pants, $15, and a white shirt, $10, from The Children's Place; or the tried-and-true look of a striped knit dress, $34, from Louise Godell. Other fun looks include cropped tops and clam-digger pants in bright prints, says B.J. Rafenstein, owner of Louise Goodell, 314 E. Silver Spring Dr., Whitefish Bay."
