BLOG
'In 2025, Generation Z and Generation X will embrace the maritime style and bring a relaxed and practical approach to life – even if the sea is nowhere in sight' - states the annual report of the Pinterest platform, where the so-called 'fisherman' aesthetic (fisherman aesthetic) is predicted to be one of the leading trends of the year that has just begun.
Fisherman Aesthetic Influences Modern Lifestyle
What does it mean? It means that when it comes to dressing and lifestyle, we will embrace the charm of life by the sea, dream of sailing and the freedom it provides, enjoy the sound of waves and the warmth of the sun on our skin (even if we only imagine it), surrender to the south wind and the bora, the tides and ebbs that life brings, prioritize spending time in the fresh air, dare to look towards the horizon, take advantage of the health benefits that the sea ambiance brings to our quite hectic life such as calmness, stress reduction, increased creativity, and alleviation of depression. It has been proven that just looking at the sea – from the beach or a boat, the combination of the sea's scent and the sound of waves induces pleasure in the brain.
How the Fisherman Style Changes the Perspective on Life and Business
Nautical, maritime, fisherman, marine, marinière… The sea has always been one of the greatest life inspirations. People 'sing' about it through literature, painting, design, fashion where the sea is synonymous with rich blue tones of fabrics, nautical stripes, anchor and rope prints, artistic silhouettes of sailboats, shells, fish, nets.
Many sea and marine style enthusiasts will now say 'What's new here'? We will say: get ready because, judging by the latest collections and people who simply adore the sea, 'fisherman' aesthetic has become so powerful that it has entered the business waters, strongly leading towards a better quality of life, bringing changes to the daily rhythm (not just in wardrobes!) – but also conquering the viral world.
There are, in fact, quite serious discussions on social media about whether this casual style of dressing also brings 'copying' the lifestyle of Mediterranean countries' inhabitants – that perfect balance of movement and rest, balance of work and leisure, balanced diet?
5 Main Nautical Trends in 2025
However, it seems that we will discover the secret of longevity and timeless style in 2025 through this trend which has a significant impact on the overall modern lifestyle: in diet, home decor, fashion, culture, but also in leisure activities.
Here's how!
1. Mediterranean Diet
Since we are already on the topic of the 'fisherman' aesthetic's influence, here are the facts: blue fish (sardines, mackerel, tuna) supply our body with valuable nutrients such as easily digestible proteins of high biological value and numerous minerals. The main features of the Mediterranean diet are increased intake of blue fish, consumption of high-quality olive oil, greater use of spices, proper meal frequency, and increased attention to body hydration.
2. Nautical Corner at Home
How to 'bring' the sea into your living room, how to enjoy the ship's ambiance on land? Actually, very simply because all you need are white walls, 'whitewashed' wooden floors, marine accessories like nets on windows instead of curtains, a few boats, a shell-shaped bowl, and the classic combination of white and navy blue in the textile part of the decor. For good style, ambiance, and timeless elegance, a piece of stone will also come in handy. Just looking at such a decorated home acts as a break from the stressful everyday life, something like looking at the open sea.
3. Riding the Wave of Good Books
Lives, destinies, hopes, aspirations, and troubles of people from various generations and time periods have always been and remain connected to the sea, and these destinies have been told through various literary forms by world-renowned writers. On our list of 'sea' classics that everyone should read are: Ernest Hemingway – 'The Old Man and the Sea', Jacques Yves Cousteau – 'The Silent World', Gabriel García Marquez – 'The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor', Jules Verne – 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', Daniel Defoe – 'Robinson Crusoe', and Khaled Hosseini – 'Sea Prayer'.
To these classics, we add some new titles from bookstores: Rosie Walsh-'The Love of My Life', Lisa See-'The Island of Sea Women', Loveday Trinick-'Oceanarium', Elif Shafak- '10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World'.
4. Key Pieces of Nautical Style
'Fisherman' style is most often associated with clothing casualness, which, according to new rules, is built with pieces that have a touch of elegance. This is supported by the trend of navy blue color. Dresses, blazers, and suede shoes are literally flooded with blue tones. Navy blue, in combination with white, has always been considered the foundation of marine fashion. Just like yellow raincoats, waterproof trench coats, T-shirts made of the highest quality cotton, white sneakers, and, of course, sailing jackets in all shades of blue.
5. With Thoughts on Vacation
And finally, the most important thing: the popular fisherman style is actually synonymous with the perfect vacation spent at sea. When we think of a real dream vacation, images of deep blue, the sound of waves, and the work of a marine engine, endless and relaxed days, freedom, movement, freshly caught fish for lunch,...
Now is the right time to plan your perfect vacation and decide if you want to be an enthusiast of the 'fisherman' style. If the answer is 'YES', it's time to book a boat, even if you have never sailed before. It will be a perfect experience of true relaxation in the company of family and friends.
Happy 'fisherman' year to us!
