There’s something about a day on the water that calls for style that’s easy, polished, and just a little bit playful. Whether you’re hosting friends on the boat, heading out for a quick cruise, or relaxing dockside, your outfit should feel effortless and look put-together. From flowy dresses to crisp polos, these are the looks we’re loving for every kind of boat day.

For Her: Classic Looks with a Feminine Edge

1. The Blue & White Embroidered Maxi

Flowy and flattering, this look is made for golden hour on the boat. Paired with soft curls and sandals, it’s picture-perfect for summer evenings on the water. The Chatham is one of our favorites! 

2. Nautical Navy Knits

A nautical knit sweater is the cutest addition to your outfit on breezy summer nights. Toss it on over shorts or a crisp white skirt for a cozy breeze-friendly option that still looks polished. Pro tip: Throw it over your shoulders if it's too warm to wear! 

3. Striped & Structured

This sleeveless navy dress with bold white trim is a showstopper—clean lines, strong contrast, and a little retro glam. It’s a standout look for sunset cruising, while being classic enough to wear for all the summers to come! 

4. Easy White Sundresses

A soft white sundress with subtle nautical motifs (like tiny sailboats or embroidery) gives just enough boat-day energy without being kitschy. Add a straw bag and you’re set! 

For Him: Clean, Sharp, and Coastal

1. White Polo + Navy or Sky Shorts

A classic combo that works every time. These pieces feel clean and fresh without trying too hard. Great for daytime outings or dockside dinners.

2. Coastal Crewnecks

The navy skull-and-crossbones sweatshirt? Just the right amount of edge. Pair with khaki shorts and boat shoes for an updated nautical vibe.

3. Mix the Blues

From deep navy to light chambray, layering different shades of blue adds depth without straying from that core coastal palette. Simple, refined, and endlessly wearable.
