Nautica, now helmed by Denise Seegal after the departure of founder David Chu, reclaimed what it does best—namely, nautical. The label seems to raise its sails every season, but with everyone’s favorite boy bander turned astronaut turned gay icon, Lance Bass, as the front row headliner, it’s not hard to guess why Seegal might want to go back to basics.  The line’s traditional color scheme of navy and white was sprinkled with outerwear in bright yellow and red, while fresh details like colorful scarves and ties peeking out from below button-down shirts brought life to an otherwise cookie-cutter Hamptons look. Shorts and pants were rolled and cuffed to complete the weekender ensemble.
