Its back! The recurring nautical trend never fails to disappoint, and this year is no different. The retro inspired look combines both the bold and beautiful.

Don’t be afraid to team all three nautical colours together; Letter-box red, clean cut white and deep sea blue connect to create a simple stylish look, perfect for any body shape and occasion. Accessorise with chunky jewellery to add a modern touch to the classic trend and most importantly, keep the nautical trend fun – pair it up with patent flats and this season’s tote bag.

We have picked out our favourite garments. So whether it’s a trip to the shops or a Summer night BBQ with friends, we’ve got it covered.

Summer BBQ with Friends

Linen trousers are a summer holiday wardrobe staple, and these Palazzo Style Trousers are perfect for any summer occasion. Add a Red Stripe Knitted Shrug and a White Camisole for the ultimate nautical look. Finish the outfit with a pair of Lotus Casual Sandals and a Chunky Necklace.

With the exciting new Spring/Summer 2012 season on the horizon – remember all our clothes are available in plus sizes up to size 32 - we’ve decided to pick a couple of our favourites from the new Joanna Hope collection which is exclusive to Marisota…

Four Piece Set

We love this set for two reasons; firstly – it’s great value for money and secondly – it stylishly flatters ladies with curves. Within the set – you get the floral printed chiffon over blouse with waterfall detail, a plain black sleeveless top and simple black soft jersey trousers, which have an elasticated waist for extra comfort. To finish this fabulous outfit off – you also get a lovely jewelled necklace.

Pearl Trim Cream Dress

This beautiful dress is exclusive to Marisota and designed for the Joanna Hope weddings collection – notice the gorgeous pearl detailed collar piece. Although this dress is designed with a wedding occasion in mind, it is still quite versatile and could be worn at number of occasions. Available in sizes up to 32.

Layered Print Top and Scarf

This a fabulously vibrant top, which is sure to make you stand out from the crowd. With a scoop-neck, stunning print and georgette layered material – you’ll feel elegant and stylish.  Choose to wear with or with the scarf that also comes with the top. Available in sizes 32.
