Sail Away
12 years ago by
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a captain’s hat look so chic. I first fell in love with them while on vacation in Greece a few years ago, but — although they looked elegant in their own way — the local fishermen didn’t pull off this look quite as well as Alex Rubio does here…
After a sea of knitted beanies and wide brim felt hats, it’s such a striking look. It’s so practical for winter (but still different!), and her hair tucked in under her leather jacket makes it feel so Parisian. I’m not sure exactly where her look transports me, but it’s definitely not winter in New York — maybe more a fishing town in the Mediterranean or the streets of the first arrondissement?
Hat, Boutique Saint James; Jacket, No. 21.

Very pretty woman and picture, I wore that hat in the 90s. But i beg to disagree: cultural appropriation doesn’t make anything look better, and real sailors will always pull it off in style without even trying. Mostly because their aesthetics is practical, I feel, and therefore rich with context and life.
There is definitely beauty in necessity! Thank you for the thoughtful comment x
I agree with what I think you are saying. Style is great on it’s own, but it’s best when there is a layer of substance, when there’s a reason for being for the item worn, when there is a story or something behind it.
Well I prefer felt hats like the one you recommended the other day:

J’aime beaucoup la photo, par contre je trouve qu’elle est plus difficile à porter qu’un chapeau ou un bonnet. Attention au look trop pécheur justement.

Definitely Parisian references! I love her “no make up make up’, too…

Beautiful pic!
Passa a trovarmi VeryFP
Let me ask: is this exactly the same jacket on her as that one from No. 21? I mean Alex’s jacket has kinda different detailing.
Oh I love this look. The whole photo is stunning. Neada you’re such a beautiful person.
The stitching on the jacket looks perfect, the hat is cool and the way you wear your hair is so natural, but chic;
I am so impressed by this photo.

J’en ai une… qui ne m’a coûté presque rien dans un bazar de bord de mer. Pr l’instant elle ne m’a servie qu’à Paris et en vacances. Mais un jour elle et moi on fera le tour du monde en cargo ;-)
Top, elle le porte à la perfection !

I like the variety! It reminds me of what Andy wears in The Devil Wears Prada. So cute!
I love the hat! I have a tweed newsboy cap from H&M that I love but I haven’t tried this kind yet. Love your photos

I grew up seeing my father wear these hats thinking nothing of them. I adore this photo, we could see a new trend emerge!

C’est très élégant ! Si ma mère m’entendait dire ça elle deviendrait folle. Elle n’arrête pas de me dire que ce genre de casquette est sublime et je passe mon temps à lui dire que non. Quelle bêtise j’aime énormément en fait maintenant que je vois cette photo.
I have dozen of those for years … Always loved the adventurous idea of it in the city as much as on a boat
Superbe photo!! Et superbe fille. J’adore.
J’ai une casquette de marin comme ca, achete en Bretagne, que je mets tout le temps, je prefere tellement a des bonnets!
C’est vrai qu’elle est très belle cette casquette! J’aime beaucoup la marque St James qui fait de très beaux classiques de qualité. Dans mon blog je parlais aussi de cet accessoire il y a 3 jours!
La photo est juste sublime!

Amoureuse de cette photo, ah Corto Maltese ! Je vais le garder sur mon pinterest !
Pour plus tard, car il faut que ça infuse ces choses-là : d’abord j’ai une petite tête j’ai du mal à trouver un couvre chef qui m’aille correctement, qui ne me dévore pas tout le visage. Et secundo, et là les françaises me comprendront mieux… je vis en Bretagne, j’ai grandi dans un port de pêche alors oui ces casquettes j’en ai vu souvent mais sur les têtes de vieux pêcheurs : rien de fashion ! On est dans le cliché de la marinière, de la vareuse, du ciré jaune Cotten, des bottes Aigle etc. J’aime beaucoup l’idée de détournement, mais pour le coup c’est trop proche de mon identité, de ma terre.
I just adore this look! So perfect. What a cutie.
Love the style, and the hat is real chic.

J’adore cette photo et la casquette. Perso, j’en porte une dès que le temps se gâte. C’est une casquette d’homme et c’est cela qui m’a beaucoup plu, ce côté androgyne. En tout cas, bonne fin d’année à vous et régalez nous encore pour 2015 !
