The nautical trend is a classic, but usually seen just for spring. This fall, the gold nautical buttons that adorned designer skirts, jackets, and coats inspired us to embrace the trend in the colder seasons. Pull some red, white and blue out of your closet or shop for some new special pieces. Either way, these pieces are classics well suited for those of you looking for a trend with staying power.
