This year, it seems that more women’s brands than ever before have added a bit of nautical flavor to their summer lines.  From sailor stripes, to boat necks, to the occasional burgees, nautical themes are prevalent on everything from t-shirts, to shorts, to sweaters, and everything in between.  One piece that does a fantastic job of conveying a nautical feel without being too over the top is the Anchors Away Dress ($95) by Madewell.

Made of cotton, this loose fitting tunic dress is the perfect choice for a warm summer day.  The white and navy colorway immediately makes us think of being on the water, and the the boat neck completes the look flawlessly.  With a length of 32 1/2″ from shoulder to hem, this dress should fall right above the knee, and is a great choice for the office or a day out and about.  Because the Anchors Away Dress is an online exclusive, you will need to visit Madewell.com if you are interested in adding it to your wardrobe.  That being said, we are sure you will have a great experience, the Madewell online customer service team is one of the best we have ever dealt with.  If you place an order this week, enter the code YESPLEASE when you checkout for free shipping.
