Whether You're on Land or Sea, Summer Calls for Easy, Breezy Nautical Fashion
Nautical fashion is back on deck this summer. With high-end houses like Prada and Miu Miu leading the charge, the spring 2025 runways were stocked with sophisticated takes on maritime classics. The key to making seafaring staples feel fresh rather than costume-y lies in thoughtful styling. Essentials like a perfectly cut mariner tee, weathered boat shoes, or a soft fisherman sweater pair well with summer's other It items, such as lace-trimmed slips or board shorts.
The Nautical Fashion Staples:
And like many Sex and the City fanatics who moved to New York City, I thought I would inevitably encounter Fleet Week when I got here (remember that episode?). Unlike Carrie and Charlotte, I've yet to find a sailor in the city. Perhaps that's for the best—compelling nautical style often happens far from the docks. Here's our guide on how to wear it.
The Stripe Shirt
Give a classic mariner tee a gamine twist with a pleated mini, sleek heels, and a mermaid-esque bag that subtly nods to sirens of the sea.

We asked readers about wake boats on Wisconsin lakes. Here's what you said.
A large majority of Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers who took a non-scientific poll want to see wake boat regulations at both the state and local levels. We collected responses from 825 people May 24 to 31 amid the debate wake-enhanced boating, which uses ballast tanks to create large waves for surfing and tubing. The boats have raised concerns about shoreline erosion, damage to lakebeds and invasive species. Here are the final results of our poll questions: "Should wake-enhanced boating be regulated differently than other powerboat activities such as water-skiing?" Yes: 76%; No: 24%; No Opinion: 0%. "If you think additional regulation is needed, where should they come from?" A combination of state and local: 53%; state government: 21%; local government: 16%; no opinion: 10%. Wisconsin lawmakers have been meeting with organizations and advocates on both sides of the issue. A number of communities have restricted artificial wake activities, leading to a group suing the Town of Scott in Burnett County last week to overturn the regulations. Three comments capture the sentiment of hundreds of responses from across Wisconsin and beyond: ➤"I am a lake resident in northern Wisconsin. Our lake (Crescent Lake) is to too small and shallow for safe wake surfing. Our shoreline is suffering damage as 2-4 foot waves crash our shore from a neighbor's wake boat. Further, lake residents have been working hard to prevent invasive species from expanding in our lake. Wake boats are an easy way for invasive spread due to their ballast tanks. We do not want these boats spreading additional invasive species from other lakes." — Tim Kilgore, Rhinelander Opinion: We asked readers about arrest of Milwaukee Judge Dugan. Here's what you said. ➤"I have been around all types of boats my whole life: ski boats, kayaks, paddle boards, pontoons, jet skis you name it. In all of my time around these, I have come to find everyone feels like they are the one the lakes are for so they are selfish and never feel like their activity is appreciated or protected enough. There are safe and kind ways for everyone to use everything they'd like and still have enough room to be comfortable on lakes." — Gunnar Schiffmann, Saint Germain ➤"I own 19 acres on Sand Lake in Rusk County. Wake boats are a huge problem. Our shoreline is shrinking. We need your help!" — Tim McCarthy, Ripon Our question about personal experiences with wake-enhanced boating drew the greatest number of responses. Here is a sampling: ➤"I live on a chain where the town and residents voted to ban wake surfing on the lakes. Erosion is not the biggest issue, safety of other lake users and bottom scouring as a result of the bow up operation is. The ballast tanks ... are significant potential transporters of invasive species from lake to lake." — Gary Engstrom, Winchester ➤"My disabled daughter had her wheelchair knocked over while anchored eating lunch in August. This could have killed her and this operation of his boat was legal under current regulation. This is like speed limits, drive your racecar 200 mph at a racetrack, not through the neighborhoods. Our cousin was thrown into the trolling motor while fishing. We've spent thousands on rip rap to stop our loss of property, which cannot be reclaimed per DNR." — David Whitehouse, New Auburn ➤"My family enjoys this type of boating better than tubing or water skiing because it is a slower way to boat and have fun "surfing" the wake. It is way better than water-skiing and tubing because it's not as loud and the boats are going slower so they are much safer for the person behind the boat." — Laurie Siebert, Downers Grove, Illinois ➤"I live on the largest lake in Marinette County. Many of our residents have had to place large rocks on their shoreline, and the lake clarity declines much more quickly when the wake boats take to the water. Our lake is widely used by people who don't live on the lake, so also we are highly susceptible to invasive species. The water ballast needed to use these boats also creates a risk to the health of the native fish and plants." — Sue Morrison, Crivitz ➤"I have lost 3 feet of shoreline due to wake boats, our lake is around 400 acres and is just too small and not deep enough for them." — Bruce Johnson, Turtle Lake ➤"Wake-enhanced boating has provided hours of enjoyment and entertainment for me and my family." — Lawrence Schmit, Lake Beulah ➤"We've had to spend thousands of dollars putting rip rap along our shoreline to stop the erosion from the huge waves they create. When the wake boats are out, most other activity on the lake has to stop. I also have concern about water contamination from uncleaned or on drained ballast tanks." — Steve McCarthy, Mineral Point ➤"I cannot enjoy a pontoon cruise, canoe, kayak or SUP fun if the wake boats are on the lake. Swimming is risky and everyone has to stop the fun for those very few boats that take over the lake the heir huge waves. This is a selfish behavior." — Chris Dierbeck, Oconomowoc ➤"We have a lake home in Rusk County. Every summer there are more wake boats on our little lake which is a little over 200 acres. I am afraid to go out in a kayak anymore (formerly one of my favorite lake activities) and even an evening pontoon ride can be a scary experience if there is even one wake boat on the lake. In addition the wake produced by these boats pounds our shoreline, sending boats that aren't on a lift crashing into docks. I used to like to sit on the docked boat to read but that is often impossible now." — Katherine McCarthy, Port Edwards ➤"Wake boats with artificially enhanced wakes need to be regulated differently than other boats because they are not designed to be compatible on the lakes with other boats. Their wakes cause deep, erratic swells that are dangerous to other boaters, and cause lakebeds and shoreline damage. These boats were not designed to be used on our small shallow inland lakes." — Eileen Burke, Whitewater ➤"The development of 23 and 25 foot wake boats has brought a new challenge to many Wisconsin lakes. Most lakes are too small and too shallow for these boats to operate without disruption of the lake ecosystem." — Tim Kilgore, Rhinelander Thanks to everyone who voted in our poll and left comments. Didn't have a chance to vote? Here's how you can get your voice heard in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ➤"Ideally it would be state, but the representatives and senators in the Northwoods don't seem to care about protecting the lakes. Locals do care as you can see by the number of ordinances that have been adopted by towns. " — Kippy Meessmann, Presque Isle ➤"I enjoy it and see no problem with it as it causes the same waves as all other activities. No change and keep everything the same. " — Kristin Capper, Saint Charles, Illinois ➤"Wake enhanced sports began in the ocean with natural waves. Small lakes cannot support this huge energy without residual damage to the environment as well as disrupting personal recreation by other non-wake enhanced activities." — Chris Dierbeck, Oconomowoc ➤"This is a statewide issue, which would hopefully be more resistant to industry lobbying than many local government bodies. The lake/water resources are used by people from across the state, not just local citizens. The fact that the water is owned/controlled by the national/state governments, not local jurisdictions, is proof positive that local government bodies don't have the expertise to write their own local ordinances." — Jeff Jacobs, Star Lake ➤"Local. The state has been bought and paid for by the boating industry." — Don Franzene, East Troy ➤"Let local government determine if they have lakes big enough and deep enough to accommodate this sport. Most Wisconsin lakes in the north are too small and shallow to accommodate. This is something for Lake Michigan. The state should not pass a law that prevents local communities from implementing stricter controls/regulation. They did that with lake lot size imposing a 100 foot minimum which allowed high density building on lakes that previously had 200 or better limits. The loadings to lakes have increased." — Gary Engstrom, Winchester ➤"Ideally it would be statewide but that will likely be difficult because finding a one-size-fits-all regulation that legislators can agree on will be nearly impossible. Local governments will need to step up." — Jesse Nechodom, Wauwatosa ➤"Each body of water is unique and requires different regulations." — Jeff Strong, Fond du Lac ➤"Really feel they should be restricted to very large lakes that would allow their wakes to dissipate. The state also should require manufacturers to have fully draining ballast tanks to minimize contamination lake to lake." — Steve McCarthy, Mineral Point ➤"Lakes smaller than 1,500 acres with a minimum of 30 foot depth should be the minimum. Larger lakes with shallow depths or odd shapes should be reviewed independently" — Chris Dierbeck, Oconomowoc ➤"Stop these boats from ruining small lakes. OK to use them on larger, deeper lakes where the waves can dissipate and stay away from shore and other boats, kayakers etc. Would suggest lakes smaller than 1,000 acers not permit this activity." — Lawrence Kancius, Hartland Opinion: Former NBA star Paul Pierce is wrong. Marriage isn't only for 'old, poor people.' ➤"The state has always protected and controlled the ultimate water rights. They should be the ones to govern wake-enhanced boating. The best resolution would be to form a truly independent group to study this subject." — Lawrence Schmit, Lake Beulah ➤"I don't think they belong on the lakes in the Northwoods. We depend on tourism and if our lakes are trashed, we are in trouble. When a wake boat is making wakes, it makes it dangerous for kayakers, fishing boats, swimmers, paddleboarders, nesting loons and shorelines. They tear up the bottom of the lakes, threaten breeding grounds in the littoral zones with their waves and who know what they are doing to the thermocline." — Kippy Meessmann, Presque Isle ➤"I don't see a compromise solution for small shallow lakes. And even if a smaller lake has a couple deep holes, those deep areas are not necessarily 200' from shore. If enhanced wakes are allowed only in those deep areas, the concentration of boat traffic would surely cause accidents, dangerous deep & unnavigable swells and even higher waves crashing into those shorelines. I support an ordinance banning the use of artificially enhanced wakes on our smaller Wisconsin lakes." — Eileen Burke, Whitewater ➤"The best resolution is to let everyone use the lakes. Whether your in a kayak or a big wake setting boat there is a sate respectful way to use that equipment. Don't let peoples hobbies and joy be taken away just because of the people from Illinois that were inconsiderate with their rental wake boat. Don't let the few ruin this truly enjoyable spot for the many." — Gunnar Schiffmann, Saint Germain Jim Fitzhenry is the Ideas Lab Editor/Director of Community Engagement for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Why Hailey Bieber's billion-dollar deal is about more than just beauty
This week, E.L.F. Beauty acquired model and mega influencer Hailey Bieber's beauty brand Rhode for $800 million in cash and stock, with another $200 million dependent on growth. Rhode, which launched just under three years ago and has just 10 products, reported net sales of $212 million at the end of March. Bieber will stay with Rhode as the chief creative officer and as a strategic adviser to both E.L.F. and Rhode. The deal shocked much of the cosmetics world. Alexis Androulakis, a beauty industry veteran and one of the creators behind @thelipsticklesbians on TikTok, posted an incredulous video reacting to the sale. 'If you had told me that Rhode would be the first to sell out of all the brands on the docket for sale right now, I would have told you you're out of your mind.' The brands she is referring to, including Glow Recipe, Makeup by Mario, and One/Size, have been in the industry longer, are selling more products and, depending on your chosen metric, are more successful. Companies up for sale aside, Rhode is far from the only beauty line fronted by a celebrity. Rhode's success is due, in equal part, to celebrity, marketing and status. From social media metrics alone, Bieber's influence is clear: some 55 million followers on Instagram and 15 million on TikTok. She is as true a celebrity as we have in 2025. She is married to a generation-defining pop star, has a gaggle of high-profile friends, stylist-curated fashion, and enough celebrity feuds and marriage issues to keep her relevant. Tarang Amin, the CEO of E.L.F. Beauty, told The New York Times that it was Bieber's influence and loyal, younger fan base that made Rhode so attractive. 'I have not seen another brand where there are communities waiting, or a pop-up event in L.A., willing to camp out overnight for 14 hours in line — not just for product, but to buy into the entire lifestyle.' It should be mentioned that Rhode — and this deal — does not exist without Glossier, which the brand emulates in aesthetic and product. Founded in 2014 by Emily Weiss, Glossier was the beauty brand of the mid-2010s. Before it emerged, makeup trends tended heavier: cut-crease eye shadow looks and high-contrast contour made popular by Kim Kardashian and YouTube tutorials. Glossier's ethos, 'skin first, makeup second,' was almost shockingly antithetical at the time. None of the limited products initially offered, like the Perfecting Skin Tint, offered full or even buildable coverage. Glossier felt both revolutionary and exclusionary enough to be aspirational. If you had acne, hyperpigmentation or rosacea, Glossier products where simply not for you. Like the 'clean girl' beauty trend, you could only be a Glossier girl if you already had perfect skin. And thanks to that concept, centering the health of your skin and your so-called 'natural beauty' is commonplace in today's beauty market, including at Rhode, which sell-defines as a skin care company. Weiss' marketing strategy, 'born from content; fueled by community,' quickly made her products status symbols as she pioneered influencer marketing. Tubes of Balm Dotcom lip balm and the pink plastic bubble pouches the products came in were intentionally displayed on brunch tablescapes and wellness posts all over Instagram. Instead of leaning into hard sells and traditional ad campaigns, Glossier centered the ever-online young woman consumer. Bieber, incredibly social media literate with a lucrative awareness of her own influence, has made quick work of elevating Rhode products to status symbols and selling, as E.L.F.'s Amin said, a lifestyle. Whereas Glossier sold an idea, Bieber can sell that and something more material: the promise that buyers might achieve even a whiff of her very aspirational life. One of her earliest examples of the power of her own influencer marketing was the Rhode Lip Case, a silicone iPhone case with a built-in slot to hold a Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment or Tint. A week or so after posting a selfie featuring the case and allowing acolytes to debate whether the phone case would ever be available to the public, it launched on the Rhode website for $38, including a lip gloss. Bieber has since posted numerous selfies with different colored glosses, all with a similar effect: sales, and lots of them. Part of the E.L.F. Beauty deal includes a partnership with Sephora, which will make this the first time Rhode products will consistently be available in stores. For beauty brands, an in at Sephora is huge — although it doesn't mean you've made it. Bieber has deliberately limited Rhode's brick-and-mortar exposure, with one of her most successful pop-ups to date her Coachella photo booth. Branded with both Rhode and Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila logos, the booth allowed patrons to walk away with strips of well-lit photos, a small bottle of tequila and their choice of a Rhode lip product. According to Shop Drop Dail, a website that covers branded concepts, the photo booth 'quickly became one of the most talked-about experiences of the festival, generating over 2.5 million impressions on social media.' It's a true indicator of Bieber's success in employing gentle exclusivity and perceived closeness to celebrity to sell her products. I had a dermatologist friend once advise me never to use makeup or skin care by a brand that also makes handbags. I've applied the same mandate to celebrity lines. I've only ever tired Rhode's Glazing Milk, a watery pre-makeup layer that claims to provide hydration, and a swipe of a co-worker's Lip Tint. They were both fine, but I didn't buy them after that limited exposure. But even if Rhode didn't end up replacing legacy products that I've long pledged allegiance to, I am still very much aware of the brand. That is what is most remarkable. Bieber should be commended, not for Rhode's products, but for her ability to capture the zeitgeist, burst through a deeply saturated market, and surpass even other celebrity-fronted brands. I'm open to Rhode, but for now, I'll probably stick with what I've got. This article was originally published on
