30 Spring Purchases with a Nautical Theme from Zara, Dôen, J.Crew, and More
(Image credit: Kourken Pakchanian/Conde Nast via Getty Images) Most Wanted is a weekly feature where a member of the Who What Wear team or a friend of the brand shares their top 30 fashion and beauty favorites currently on their wish list. While working on this article, I had a realization: how incredible would an ocean-themed Met Gala be? Imagine all the creative references: seashells, coral, waves, mermaids, fishing nets, and sailboats, just to name a few. Who would like to share my idea with Anna Wintour? For now, I’ll focus on a fun nautical-themed shopping guide. Below, I've compiled my favorite maritime-inspired purchases from Zara, H&M, Dôen, J.Crew, and more. Some items have clear references to the sea, while others are inspired in a more subtle way. You’ll find sailor stripes, boat shoes, starfish patterns, seashell jewelry, and more. Whether your budget is for an $18 H&M shirt or a $990 crochet Chloé bag, I believe you'll discover something on my list that catches your eye. Keep scrolling to shop my selections.
