Beach boys

This summer, Nautica's menswear collection is inspired by America's southern coastline. Designed to be worn while sailing or for the beach, the look is clean and simple, with the brand's signature white and navy colour palette offset by bright turquoise, cardinal red, yellow and green. For a classic summer look, we like the navy blazer (HK$1,680), blue gingham check shirt (HK$590) and white shorts (all far right; HK$730). For something more casual, there's the red, white and navy check shirt (HK$730), the sailing boat T-shirt (HK$330) and vintage denim straight-fit jeans (all right; HK$730).
