Every time the weather warms up, I get really into the easy elegance of coastal (nautical/Nantucket/Hamptons/New England) style. Here are five common elements of this laid-back style:
1. Stripes
Stripes, stripes, stripes. Everywhere, stripes. Broad stripes, seersucker, ticking stripes, any stripes!

2. Classic Colors
Red, blue, and a little bit of yellow: in addition to being just plain classic, they're also sailing colors.
3. White
Ah, white. Clean, clean white.
4. Heritage Pieces
Not all coastal stuff is spic-and-span--there's an element of heritage in well-worn antiques. Especially if you're going for a masculine look.
5. Nautical Ephemera
Rope, signal flags, boats, anchors, oars and other sailing-inspired touches are a dead giveaway for coastal style!

This is one of my very favorite looks combining things that I love..... stripes, navy and a big dose of cozy!
Love this post Marissa! Coastal style is one of my absolute favorites. That first image is perfection!
