Black Owned Preppy Style: Tips for Preppy Coastal Fashion from the Bee Blunt Studio Martha’s Vineyard Pop Up
Embrace Nautical Stripes
Stripes are a quintessential element of preppy coastal fashion. Whether in a classic navy and white or bold red, striped patterns evoke a maritime charm perfect for seaside adventures. Consider incorporating striped shirts, dresses, or even accessories like scarves to add a nautical touch to your outfit.
Opt for Linen and Cotton Fabrics
Comfortable and breathable fabrics like linen and cotton are staples in coastal fashion. These materials are perfect for warm weather, allowing you to stay cool and stylish. Look for pieces like crisp linen shirts or cotton sundresses to keep your wardrobe both functional and fashionable.
Incorporate Bold Colors and Patterns
Preppy coastal fashion is not afraid to play with color. From vibrant pastels to rich jewel tones, incorporating bold colors can add a cheerful and lively feel to your outfit. Additionally, playful patterns such as gingham, polka dots, and florals can enhance the preppy vibe.
Layer with Light Sweaters and Blazers
For those cooler coastal evenings, layering is key. Light sweaters in soft hues or classic blazers can add sophistication and warmth to your ensemble without weighing you down. Opt for timeless pieces that can be easily mixed and matched with your existing wardrobe.
Accessorize with Care
Accessories play a significant role in completing the preppy coastal look. Consider adding statement pieces like oversized sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, or pearl jewelry to elevate your outfit. The Tiny Tassel’s collection offers playful and colorful tassel earrings that can add a fun twist to any look.
Choose Footwear Wisely
When it comes to footwear, comfort and style should go hand in hand. Boat shoes, espadrilles, and sleek sandals are ideal choices for strolling around the Vineyard. These options offer both functionality and style, seamlessly blending with the coastal aesthetic.
Don’t Forget the Details
Lastly, pay attention to the details. Subtle elements like embroidered logos, monogrammed items, or a well-chosen belt can add that extra touch of preppy elegance. Sanctuaire’s curated selections can provide unique finds that add personality and flair to your look.
By incorporating these tips into your wardrobe, you can effortlessly achieve a preppy coastal style that is both chic and timeless. Whether you’re attending the summer pop-up or simply enjoying a day by the sea, embrace the spirit of the coast with confidence and style.
