A sun filled penthouse is a proper setting for the nautically inspired NAUTICA women's looks for Fall 2011.
What we expect from this contemporary label was there---modern classic designs that are inspired by it's All- American heritage...full of separates that easily work into any wardrobe.
Navy navy navy...and crisp, wearable references to the iconic blue and white stripe French sailor top that endures forever...and utilitarian/military design elements.
And performance wear elements = feminine and functional- against the elements.
