Some of our fashion writer's sailorcore selections

In celebration of World Ocean Day, we are taking inspiration from the high seas. 

Fashion’s love affair with all things nautical remains very much in vogue. 

It’s the perennial trend that has us sailing smoothly into summer style. This season it’s all about sailorcore.
