Nautica

Traditional menswear with an infusion of color.

by Liz Zack

In Short
Primary colors and conservative styles dominate, with lots of baggy jeans and colored shirts in strong stripes and solids. Bright yellow finds its way into the Nautica line nearly every season, as does some type of light windbreaker. It's great weekend wear (certainly great boating wear, if that fits your lifestyle) and it also does nicely for casual Fridays. Swimwear lines for the ladies make an appearance, as does sleepwear for both him and her.
