Ahoy! How to Look Like You Just Stepped Off a Yacht

If you want to give off yacht vibes, this airy crochet mini ($140) is just the thing. With spaghetti straps and a halter neckline, it'll show off your sun-kissed shoulders. Pop it on with some strappy sandals for a million-dollar look that would be right at home on a luxury yacht.

A large sun hat ($495) is essential if you're spending time on the open seas (or want to look like you are). We love the exaggerated brim of this Eugenia Kim number, which brings a bit of attitude to the typical sun hat, and extra sun protection if you want a shaded face.

For chillier days by the water, yacht people need sweaters. And what better sweater than one with sailor in the name? This one ($90) exudes nautical style with an exaggerated Johnny collar. Made from 100 percent cotton, it's breathable enough for warm days and cozy for when the sun goes down.

Yacht life calls for an elevated beach bag. Skip the simple straw bag and pick one up with some flair, like this Isabel Marant one ($1,080) that's accented with calf's leather and a twisted sheer cotton scarf. We also love the practicality of the straps: two sets, whether you want to hold the bag like a little purse, or a shoulder bag (for when it's full of sunscreen, sunglasses, and a good beach read).

Breezy yacht days call for a simple, summery dress, like this lovely eyelet midi ($200). With a fitted top, empire waist, and flared skirt, it's ultra-flattering — and the flounced hem gives it a sweet, feminine look. Dress it up with a pair of sandals, and if it gets chilly, pop on that sailor sweater for some nautical style.

If you love the crochet midi but are already set on dresses, pick up this super-soft sweater tank ($70), which offers the same flattering halter neckline but in tank-top form. While we love the classic white, we're most excited about the sunshine-y "yellow umbrella" color. It's luxurious, rich, and will bring out all your sun-kissed tones.

Now it's onto sunglasses. If you want to give off yacht vibes, you'll need a pair that's big, chic, and full of attitude. (If they block out the sun, that'll be helpful too.) These Bottega Veneta frames ($455) offer just the right amount of style, with a cat-eye shape and translucent acetate with gold ribbon detailing at the temples. They also provide 100 percent UV protection as an added bonus.

To pair with your new yacht attire, you'll need a pair of strappy sandals that'll dress up everything from your crochet midi to a relaxed-fitted pair of white chinos. These braided leather heels ($170) will do just the trick with a look that's both beachy (thanks to the braided strap) and sultry (with the leather cord around the ankle).

For when you need something flat and with a little more support (while still maintaining that luxurious look), try these beautifully crafted braided leather espadrilles ($895) by Gianvito Rossi. Made in Italy, they deliver on comfort and style and would look beautiful paired with an airy maxi skirt, lightweight denim, and, well, everything on this list.
