How To Wear The Fisherman Fashion Trend This Fall

While the fisherman aesthetic dominated summer fashion with breezy crochet pieces and playful sardine motifs splashed on everything from T-shirts to handbags, fall weather is putting a moody twist on prim-and-proper nautical staples. From cable-knit sweaters to raincoats and barn jackets, this season's coastal chic is all about elevating preppy basics and investing in pieces that will keep you warm and dry in the drizzle.
