Fashion Week: Nautica

Nautica's image has always been classic americana on the high seas. With Chris Cox, at the helm as creative director, Nautica is delivering the same message as it did 27 years ago, when the company first started.

Nautica Spring 2011

Who is the customer: The all-American nautical man

Why buy: This collection takes a spin on the typical prep look.



What to buy: Navy blazers are always classic.

Bypass: Clashing ties and suits

Overall contribution to fashion: Your man will look sharp in any of these simple suits. Nautica is priced pretty affordably, and has long been a leader in men's formal fashion.
