Nautica Fall 2012

nautica fall 2012

Ok, I have given you plenty of female eye candy with all of the swimwear the past few weeks.  I thought I would inject a bit of menswear and male models today.  Here are some of the offerings from my former employer, Nautica Fall 2012 .   They have their sporty primary colors of course.  Their jackets are very popular.  As someone who has worked on them, I can tell you that the designers do a great job adding lots of useful details like reflective zipper tape, mesh interior pockets, reinforced openings for iPod headphones, etc.

Don't worry, as I am no longer a paid employee of this company, so I have no reason to compliment them unless I meant it.  Nautica may have lost its brand cachet in recent years, but they definitely make a good quality product for the price point.  (Plus their winter sample sales are a steal!).

Their Fall 2012 sportswear and denim had a rugged, preppy look this season.  The sweaters look quite cozy, and my Dad is a big fan of the multi-pocket vests.  Maybe it's in credit to the models, but don't you just want to snuggle to them?

Nautica Spring 2012





At a recent trip to a museum exhibit, I met up with friends wearing a polo shirt and jeans.  My friends ribbed me, saying that it was the most casual they had ever seen me dressed!  Admittedly, my “casual” would oftentimes be what others would call business casual, but I’m just not that laid back of a dresser.  I’m kind of a preppy guy at heart and wearing flip-flops and grunge clothing is really not my thing.

Which brings me to the Nautica Spring 2012 Collection.  The presentation was held on the rooftop deck of the Empire Hotel (you’ll recognize it as Chuck Bass’ hotel on Gossip Girl) and I attended with my dear friend and partner Mariana Leung of MsFABulous.com.  We were able to snag an interview with Creative Director Chris Cox to find out more about the line.  We also spoke with up-and-coming hip hip star fame and got his views on the collection.
I personally own several pieces of Nautica clothing from board shorts and windbreakers to hoodies.  I love the semi-preppy style of Nautica and this season gave me more of what I want.  Great polos, board shorts, hoodies, pants and a few great jackets!  I loved the color range this season, from nautical blues, yellows and whites to bold reds, oranges and yellows.  I have been craving more color in my wardrobe and this line delivers!
As a lifestyle brand, Nautica is a great fit for me and I know that it will answer the needs of a very wide audience.  I can’t wait for the line to hit the stores and go shopping!
