Fresh young urbanite women clad in the new Fall line, sashay across the dinner room floor while fashion guru, Robert Verdi, delivers contagiously funny one-liners throughout brunch.  He taunts that she could be the school teacher, the PTA mom, the busy executive on the go.  Nautica surges in like a breath of cool Fall air!  This brunch is to celebrate that this Fall, Nautica will launch a women’s sportswear collection. Sexy powerful silhouettes that allow for function while on the move will be the profile for the Nautica sportswear collection.  This collection will offer plenty of interchangeable looks that will be fashion staples for seasons to come.  Nautica fuses sensibility with luxury.  Nautica continues to build on its brand, which will define and reinforce the heritage of Nautica’s integrity.

The signature hardware will be updated, each collection has details and trims that are themed throughout: such as the inside collar of a shirt. Each detail is carefully placed for a subtle style that is known and expected from Nautica.

The trench coats are key elements to it all. I love a classic coat and the caramel trench for Fall will be to die for!  The color palette is neutral, yet feminine with shades of pink, periwinkle and green and the brand’s signature colors such as navy, orange, white and yellow.

“We created the women’s collection in response to our consumers’ needs and wants in better sportswear,” said Denise V. Seegal, President and CEO of VF Sportswear, Inc.  “Our research shows that women want stylish clothing that relates to their lifestyle and easily transitions from weekend to work.  The Nautica® women’s collection achieves this mix seamlessly and is the perfect complement to our successful menswear line.”   

The line will include three distinctive collections: Westport, infusing the excitement and energy of the Nautica brand lifestyle with understated luxury and ease; Middleburg, a luxurious collection with feminine prints inspired by traditional architectural elements; and New Hampshire, a neutral color palette of new classics.

Westport
Inspired by the crisp coastal breeze of early autumn, the color palette for Westport is a fresh array of fuchsia, navy, periwinkle, ivory, and chino. This delivery offers an elevated aesthetic to casual dressing with lux shirting refined with dobby detailing and yarn dyes in feminine silhouettes. For occasions that call for cool sophistication, silk winter sail prints offered in shirt, skirt and dress silhouettes provide effortless style. Our pinstripe city stretch brings a sense of ease and elegance to pants, skirts and jackets that are perfect for work or play. Feather weight cashmere sweaters and cardigans with pointelle detail help take the chill out of the Fall air. Fine-gauge cable knit cotton takes on a modern twist with a sleeveless turtleneck vest and dress along with classic crew neck sweaters and cardigans. Nothing is more classic than the white cotton shirt. Our updated feminine silhouettes include a delicate tuxedo shirt and finely pleated shirt with poet's collar. Westport infuses the excitement and energy of the Nautica lifestyle with understated luxury and ease.

Middleburg
Middleburg is the perfect group for town and country with a classic color palette of navy and khaki with sophisticated merlot, academy blue, and cashmere yellow accents. Casual luxury best describes the cotton twill crested blazer, updated argyle sweaters, and denim jacket. Stretch fabrics in Penn plaid, Brown plaid, Prince of Wales, and corduroy fuse style, comfort, and ease to suited looks. For crisp days in the country, outerwear is offered in a variety of classic silhouettes with a fresh approach including vest, zip-up fitted jacket, barn jacket, pea coat and duffle coat. Prints inspired by classic architectural elements and silk georgette pieces add a feminine touch that resonates through this group.

New Hampshire
New classics inspired by traditional classics in a neutral palette of natural, camel and chocolate are brought to life with cashmere pink and leaf green accents. New Hampshire is a refined group with a subtle ease that transitions effortlessly from work to weekend. Suit looks that are as refined as they are comfortable in herringbone, Brimfield plaid, melange wool, cotton velveteen and stretch corduroy bring a level of understated sophistication that defines the Nautica brand. Timeless herringbone is carried through from suits to wool outerwear to refined cotton shirts. Classic Fair Isle sweaters take on a fresh, "of the moment" attitude that will warm even the coldest days. Floral paisley printed silks and sweater knits bring an element of soft femininity that completes this group of new classics.
The new women’s line will be available in August at retail stores nationwide.
