Popular Sailing Clothing Brands To Wear In 2024

These are the freshest sailing brands for nautical chic looks.

Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Gaastra Online Shop

Whether you’re a seasoned yachty or just getting started on an aspect of sailing you need the right gear to get the job done and one of the most fundamental aspects of sailing is clothing.

When it comes to sailing clothes there’s no discrimination whether you’re racing in the America’s Cup or simply dawdling around in the harbour. Having the right gear can make all the difference especially when technical innovation comes into play to provide unprecedented levels of wind-blocking and waterproofing.

Are we the sailing types? Hell yes, we’re big fans of Sail GP, America’s Cup, and Sydney to Hobart, so we know what sailing gear you should be seen in. So let’s begin.

Helly Hansen

• Clothing that can handle the harshest conditions
• Timeless designs that never go out of style
• They offer weather-resistant clothing
• They are fully seam-sealed
• They’re on the pricier side

In 1877, Mr. Helly Hansen saw a need for clothing that would protect him from the harsh Norweigan elements whilst he was working on his boat. His wife then started soaking linen in linseed oil to create a waterproof material that would protect Mr Hansen and his workers whenever they were out on their boats. They then started offering this clothing to others and Helly Hansen was born.

To this day, Helly Hansen has continued to engineer sailing clothing that can handle the harshest of conditions, enabling their wearers to work, perform and survive just about anywhere. Not only are Helly Hansen garments weather resistant, but the brand’s Norweigan heritage has heavily influenced their minimalistic and timeless, typically Scandinavian design.

• The clothing is built for maximum performance
• It’s very breathable
• The items are waterproof and windproof
• The fit is comfortable and keeps you confident
• It can be harder to take care of

For over 50 years, Musto has been engineering cutting edge sailing apparel. Their sailing clothing has been used by adventurers, America’s Cup racing teams and couples cruising the world on their family yacht.

The brand was started by Mr Keith Musto, a British Olympic sailor who realised in order to win, he had to be lighter, fitter and stronger than all of his competition. After starting his fitness regime, he soon realised that traditional sailing clothing compromised his ability to sail at his best, so he set out to make clothing that would enable him to perform. As a result, he ended up winning the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in his Musto gear. To this day, Musto continues to engineer fabrics and materials that will allow wearers to be comfortable in any condition.

• Increased stretch for unparalleled comfort
• They use outstanding padding to keep you comfortable in all situations
• Original and attractive designs
• The buckles are heavy-duty ones that provide extra comfort
• They don’t have many colours available for all items

ZHIK was founded just prior to the 2004 Athens Olympics when it was noticed that sailing clothing could do with a spark of innovation. Since then ZHIK has engineered some of the highest performing waterproof clothing for sailors and has combined it with a fresh new look that is very modern, in a world dominated by tradition.

They are the kit of choice for both the Australian and New Zealand sailing teams and also sponsor Sail GP and Volvo Ocean Race teams, all of which need technically proficient gear that will handle any condition.

North Sails

• They recycle their old products
• Versatile products that can be easily styled and used
• You can choose from multiple colour options
• They use the GORE-TEX Pro technology to keep you dry
• The equipment can be quite expensive

North Sails was started by American Sailor and Olympic Gold Medalist, Lowell North in 1957. Originally he focused on making the most technically advanced sails that were faster than any competitors. The brand continues to make these ultra-high performance sails and has used their ethos to also create a lifestyle clothing line.

Their sailing clothing combines both function and form which performs in harsh conditions and looks great doing it. They offer a range of technical, high-performance gear as well as a more traditional lifestyle line so no matter your style of sailing, North Sails will have you covered.

• They focus a lot on design
• They mix traditional and modern styles
• The clothing is more affordable
• Many designs feature zipped pockets for more security
• Their clothing is not that technically advanced

Born in 1983, Nautica is a leading lifestyle brand for men. Influenced by the nautical lifestyle and designs, Nautica has focused more on making everyday clothing for men as opposed to other sailing clothing brands that were born out of a need to defeat the elements.

Whilst Nautica might not offer sailing clothing that is as technically advanced as others, their focus on design has enabled them to lead the industry from a style perspective. They combine both traditional nautical designs with a modern perspective and forward-thinking styles.

Henri Lloyd

• The brand relies on constant innovation
• Their waterproof clothing is aesthetically pleasing
• They use a non-corrosive zipper
• You get 15% off on your birthday if you join the community
• You have to spend a lot for free delivery

Henri Lloyd was founded by Henri Strzelecki a Polish war hero and Angus Lloyd in 1964 in Manchester, England. They pioneered the use of waterproof fabrics and materials in clothing. They also made other innovations including the first non-corrosive zipper as well as the use of velcro in waterproof garments.

To this day Henri Lloyd continues to innovate in order to remain on the leading edge of waterproof clothing. They also focus heavily on design and offer some of the most aesthetically refined waterproof sailing clothing available.

• They collaborated with current and former Olympic sailors
• Their pieces resemble an Italian effortless relaxed style
• You get 10% off your first order when subscribing to the newsletter
• Great when you’re about to face the harshest weather conditions
• They use recycled materials
• Some items run large according to buyers

Born in Genoa, Italy, Slam has evolved to be one of the greatest sailing clothing manufacturers, all thanks to their collaborations with past and present Olympic Sailors. Genoa itself is a town on Italy’s Ligurian coast and its history is heavily rooted in fishing, sailing and its port. Naturally, one day a garment maker would come about as a result of the town’s need for clothing that is suitable for life on the coast and at sea.

Today the brand offers a range of lifestyle and recreational sailing clothing which embodies Italian effortless cool. They also offer technical garments for those looking to face the harshest conditions mother nature can throw at them.

Gill Marine

• You get 10% off your first order when subscribing to their newsletter
• They are backed by 45 years of experience
• They offer excellent breathability and waterproofness
• The relief zip is durable and waterproof
• The ventilation is outstanding
• Some pieces do not have enough pockets

In 1975 a passionate dinghy sailor, Nick Gill became increasingly frustrated with the lack of dinghy-specific sailing gear. To mitigate the problem, he founded a company and started to produce the gear he wanted. Since then, Gill has continued to evolve and develop to create clothing for all facets of sailing and all conditions sailors encounter.

Gill is the sailing clothing of choice for current America’s Cup champions, team New Zealand. To complement their clothing, Gill also offers footwear and accessories for sailors.

• Fashion forward and super cool
• Some garments are made from technical fabrics
• No discounts
• More for fashion than actual sailing

If you want to go big and be the best dressed on the yacht, then Prada’s America’s Cup range is the way to go. Prada is the official sponsor of Italy’s Lunar Rossa. One of the challengers in this year’s big race. Their gear is very basic in design but goodness it’s cool.

Regardless of who you’re supporting in Barcelona, Prada’s Linea Rossa range is the best.  Made in Italy, you can’t go wrong.

Last Updated by

Daniel Wade

August 30, 2022

There are options to choose from when looking at the best sailing clothing brands. People will have different tastes in fashion, and some want a specific use.

With so many brands to choose from, it allows sailors to find something that works for them. So what are the best sailing clothing brands?

Musto, Helly Hansen, Zhik, and Gill Marine are the best sailing clothing brands. In addition, Henri Lloyd, Dubarry, Sperry, and Saint James have a rich history of providing sailors with clothing around the globe. No matter where you sail, you will likely find a mix between these top brands.

What makes a sailing brand the best in clothing is its ability to withstand marine life but also provide fashion. Depending on your budget and location in the world, some brands will be more popular than others.

According to experts in sailing, having the right clothing and gear makes the experience much more enjoyable. Being prepared for anything is going to help you achieve optimal sailing.

‍ 12 Best Sailing Clothing Brands

The best sailing clothing brands are the best for a reason, as they have been able to master what it means to sail comfortably. Not only are these fashionable, but they provide the necessary quality that you need out on the water.

Every sailor understands the importance of the right clothing while sailing. If you have never experienced what it is like to not have the right clothing out on the water, you do not want to repeat that process in the event of a sunburn, soaked clothes, or potentially slipping with bad shoes.

Musto has been dominating the sailing clothing department for the last 50 years. They have consistently developed sailing apparel that has stood the test of time in terms of quality and performance.

While they have casual wear, their line of apparel is meant for the water. This was the purpose ever since Keith Musto, founder, decided he wanted sailing clothes after his appearance in the 1964 Olympics.

As he drew inspiration from his experiences, he has created one of the revolutionary lines of clothing brands for the occasion. Musto is geared towards anyone willing to sail in any condition, especially with quality materials that are waterproof and comfortable.

2. Helly Hansen

Back in 1877, the Scandinavian brand Helly Hansen hit the sailing clothing scene. They were the first company to showcase a three layer concept, especially in times when the weather gets brutal.

The company has shown innovation over the years with quality products and coating them in linseed to obtain a waterproof product. These include shoes, shirts, hats, and even oilskin jackets.

Their life jackets rank among some of the best in the industry. In fact, they are the number one choice for fisherman or offshore sailors wanting to endure extreme conditions.

Looking at today’s style, Helly Hansen still markets one of the most recognizable sailing clothing brands out there. This is due to their comfort and style, in addition to the quality of materials.

Looking at Zhik , you know right away that you are in good hands with athletic apparel in sailing. The company is not that old, as they were founded in 2003.

The company originated in Australia and has its name essentially plastered all over the Olympics. The beauty of this brand is that they are able to cover every aspect of sailing and even innovative items like dinghy wetsuits that make them stand out to the competition.

They also have some of the most comfortable life jackets for a decent price. This allows you to get the best bang for your buck when sailing.

Their environmentally friendly approach earns them bonus points while also providing quality you can count on. If you are aiming to get out on the water, Zhik can make it comfortable.

4. Gill Marine

Nick Gill founded Gill Marine back in 1975 when he was searching for a performance dinghy sailing gear. At the time, there were not a lot of options to choose when roughing it out on the water with a dinghy.

Gill spent a lot of time and money to help establish perfect designs for dinghy sailing. This also has to be good enough to handle harsh conditions and whatever the weather throws at you.

Gill Marine was a success and is still widely used today by the New Zealand's America’s Cup champions team. In addition, you can find comfortable apparel options such as shoes and hats to sport the brand off of your dinghy.

No sailing clothing list would be complete if you did not have Dubarry on the list. While known for their stylish and comfortable sailing boots, they also sport an apparel line to keep you comfortable no matter where you go.

The company originated in Ireland back in 1937 and is closely connected to Galway’s sailing heritage. Their line of sailing boots are the main attraction, as sailors across the globe love their comfort, grip, and water resistant properties.

In addition, they also have a line of sailing gear that you can trust. With quality materials throughout, you can rest assured when sailing that you have the right footwear for the job.

6. Henri Lloyd

Henri Lloyd is another quality sailing clothing brand that has roots back in the 1960’s in Manchester. The company was co-founded by Henri Strzelecki who came up with the concept of a durable sailing jacket with Velcro fasteners.

For over 50 years, they have been providing excellent value for wanting to show off your sailing attire. From their quick drying tech materials to their ocean ready shorts, they have just about everything you could want to wear out on the water.

The company is handled by experienced sailors that know first hand what sailors want when sailing. This lets you know instantly that they understand what it takes to go sailing.

7. Saint James

Saint James was inspired by French Navy uniforms back in 1889. As one one of the oldest sailing clothing brands out there, they have successfully remained in business with their classic style.

They have a huge following in France, where the company originally took off, and have established some footwork in the United States. Over the years, they have been able to adapt to changing consumer tastes but also remain true to their roots.

They even have the nickname, “nautical sweater specialist”, for having stylish attire for when you are sailing. No matter how old you are, they have different styles and sizes for all shapes and sizes.

Slam was established back in 1979 and is a well regarded technical collection in sailing apparel. They have a wide range of clothing options for casual sailing, yachting, and professional sailing.

Being that it has roots in Italy, it is one of the most popular sailing clothing brands in Europe. In fact, they are one of the biggest clothing manufacturers.

Not only are their clothing options appealing to the eye, but it serves a practical purpose in combating the elements on the water. Their success has long been driven by Olympic stars, but anyone can feel like one once they purchase their gear.

Sperry has a reputation for being a top dog in boating shoes. In fact, they are given credit for being the first to develop a boating shoe.

Paul Sperry founded the company back in 1935 and put together a revolutionary design for his boating shoe concept. Today, they still rank as one of the best boating shoes on the market.

Sperry’s success stemmed from having a comfortable shoe that was reliable to walk on wet surfaces. No matter if you are a casual sailor or professional, Sperry’s are an excellent option.

10. Navis Marine

It was not that long ago when Navis Marine entered the sailing apparel scene. Back in 1999, the company put out their line of sailing clothing that was affordable, comfortable, and practical.

Although they are located in China, they are serving markets all over the world for sailors. This gives them a slight edge when providing cheaper options.

They even have over 500 options to choose from when looking at performance styles and designs. No matter what your budget is, anyone can relate to Navis Marine.

11. North Sails

In 1957, North Sails stumbled upon something big. Olympic Gold Medalist Lowell North founded the company that would eventually market to over 150 different regions across the world.

There are similarities when looking at other brands' beginnings, but North Sails managed to develop high quality sails at first. After that successful endeavor, they added a clothing line to the mix.

With a combination of the two, sailors can have excellent quality in their sails and have the clothes to experience life on the water. Depending on your tastes, you can even find clothes here to fit your budget.

12. Nautica

The brand Nautica was named after the Latin term “nauticus”, which means ship. They rank among the top brands for sailing clothing, especially for the men’s side of the brand.

The brand had a primary focus on fashion, rather than appealing to life on the water. Sailors could look great on or off the boat and feel comfortable.

They might be the only brand that caters more to fashion than solving problems on the water. Nonetheless, they are still a revolutionary brand for sailing clothing.

How to Find the Right Sailing Clothing Brand

There are a lot of variables that come into play when trying to find the best sailing clothing brands. These factors are price, comfort, and practical use. You might also consider brands that change with consumer tastes and update designs.

Reading reviews of different sailing clothing brands is a good place to start if you find comparable clothes. No doubt, it would be a good idea to compare your options before deciding on what works best for you.

You also want to consider the type of sailing you are encountering. For example, there is no need to purchase a wetsuit if you only plan on gently cruising on the coast. A wetsuit would be ideal for dinghy sailing, or at least something a little more aggressive on the water.

Price makes a huge difference in anything you decide to purchase in life, so the comparisons make sense in sailing clothing brands. Just because a shirt costs a ton of money does not mean it is the absolute best on the market.

If you do your research, you should be able to find competing brands that can offer you good prices. If something is cheaper with a range of reasonable results, then one brand could have a better sailing shirt than another.

Price may also indicate the quality of what you intend to use it for. Looking at sailing life jackets in comparison to the ones you find at a cheaper sporting goods store, it makes sense to buy the more expensive one that you know is designed specifically for what you intend to do.

In addition, it would not hurt to have a budget set up before you decide to buy any clothing brand. This way you will be better prepared to what you can afford.

More often than not, comfort trumps everything else. No matter what the price is, most sailors will purchase their sailing clothing for what is most comfortable.

If you plan on wearing something for an entire day, you want to make sure it is comfortable. So not only do you want a fair price, you want it to be worth wearing for many hours at a time.

Whether it is a long sleeve shirt to keep the sun’s rays off of you or a sailing hat, you need it to work as described. This also takes into account how reliable the brand is. Being reliable is another aspect that usually goes hand in hand with comfort in clothing.

Practical Use

You want to be sure that whichever brand you choose is something that you can use for a long time. If you plan on purchasing a pair of sailing boots, you want them to last a while instead of wearing out a few times at sea.

If you are not sure what something is used for, then reading up on certain apparel items is worth your time. This way you can find out exactly what you need and avoid purchasing things you do not.

You might find yourself buying an extra layer of clothes for cold weather sailing that you did not think about the first time. Whichever sailing you intend to do, make sure you research exactly how the clothing plays a role.

Updated Designs and Functionality

Some brands have a product that they have promoted for 100 years, while others constantly change up their lineup. A popular clothing brand has to appeal to what consumers want to wear.

For sailing clothing brands, there are some comparisons to be made but mostly these brands have their own niche. You can find a handful that still sport the same shirts over the years while others update their look.

The best sailing clothing brands know how to adapt to consumers tastes and what they need on the water. Brands that can improve designs to fit customers needs are definitely going to make them more popular.

Here Are The Best Clothing Brands For Sailing

Helly-hansen.

Helly Hansen  is a Norwegian producer of sailing gear headquartered in Oslo, Norway. This sailing clothing brand was established in 1877 when boat captain Helly Juell Hansen found a better way to stay shielded from the Norwegian harsh weather conditions. Shortly thereafter, Captain Hansen and his wife Margrethe launched a business producing waterproof oilskin jackets, trousers, hat, and waterproof canvases made from rough linen soaked in flaxseed oil – and the Helly Hansen legend began!

Helly Hansen gear is worn and trusted by sailors worldwide, but it is not the most budget-conscious clothing brand you can choose; however, it is probably the best when it comes to sailing jackets.

Helly Hansen offers the widest variety of clothing and is probably the most versatile and overall the best clothing brand out there.

Musto has always been an innovator in sailing clothing and is one of the best and most recognizable sailing clothing brands.

Also, their handmade leather shoes are of exceptional quality. Like many of these best clothing brands for sailing, Musto produces clothing that can be worn in both on the boat and in everyday life and skiing if you are into this as well. Musto also works with some of the best manufacturers globally, so you can be assured of the quality every time.

Musto’s clothes are also very durable. For example, my father’s twenty-plus-year-old Musto foul weather jacket that has been used every year and is still looking and performing well. Musto is very famous for its durability, which is probably why they offer a guarantee for many of our garments’ lifetime.

Gill is one of the best marine clothing brands, founded in 1975. In 1975, the company’s founder, Nick Gill, was an avid sailor who used his father’s factory in Nottingham to produce truly capable sailing apparel that could offer both protection and comfort.

Gill is still based in the UK, where they design and test all their garments and they have grown to become one of the best marine clothing brands in the world. Also, they equip sailing teams from round-the-world.

Inspired by their sailing heritage, they also offer lifestyle clothing that can be worn anywhere but are still designed with their marine lineage in mind.

Today their clothing line utilizes a wide range of technologies, from Activated Carbon base layers to SuperFabric™; which is the most abrasive-resistant type of fabric in the world. When sailing in foul weather conditions, saltwater comes at you from everywhere. For that reason, Gill tests their clothing in-house and on the water to withstand the worst weather conditions.

That means whatever weather condition you find yourself in – sea, shore, or inland – they’ve already engineered the best clothing kit to perform for you.

Xtratuf (Shoes)

Founded in the 50s, Xtratuf is a brand of neoprene boots manufactured by Honeywell International. The boot was originally designed for commercial fishermen but is now used by sailors and boats worldwide. They are common throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, especially in coastal areas and fishermen.

Xtratuf boots are famous for being built to battle the elements. The brand’s core Legacy range is equipped with a unique triple-dipping technique designed to keep feet dry and comfortable. There are non-insulated and insulated options rated to sub-freezing temperatures. Meanwhile, its signature Chevron outsole has remained unchanged for years, providing reliable traction in extreme conditions. A steel toe option offers added protection.

Harken (Gloves)

Harken  is a global corporation that specializes in performance sailing hardware and industrial solutions, headquartered in Wisconsin, US. When Harken first started, it was housed in a 60-foot trailer in 1967 by brothers Peter and Olaf Harken. Originally, they built sailboats under the name Vanguard. However, they kept the hardware business separate so they could sell to competing boatbuilders.

In 1986, the Harken brothers sold Vanguard Sailboats to Stephen Clark in Rhode Island so they could concentrate on hardware. Harken hardware has been the golden standard in the racing segment for many years.

Harken equipment may be found on racing boats as small as the 7-foot dinghies to megayachts and ocean racers. They are famous for making hardware like swivels but they also make some of the best sailing gloves on the market today.

Henri Lloyd

Established in Manchester in 1963,  Henri Lloyd  is a British clothing brand specializing in sailing clothes. They manufacture some of the most high-end sailing clothes available today. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, they have implemented a direct-to-consumer business model. They are only selling directly through their own websites and retail locations. That way, they have cut out the middlemen who raise retail prices, which means they can offer the same excellent quality products at affordable prices permanently. They are still an expensive brand, don’t get me wrong, but they do offer some great quality products.

Navis Marine

Established in 1999,  Navis Marine  is a sailing clothing manufacturer specializing in designing and manufacturing performance foul weather gear for coastal and offshore sailing.

Navis Marine has a rigorous research and development process. The team is always looking for ways to innovate, blending new technology with feedback from their customers, and test sailors to create unique apparel solutions. The Navis Marine design team looked for materials with the same properties; able to work with the body and protect against the elements. However, they use lighter and more breathable materials than traditional marine fabrics.

They offer an excellent alternative to more famous brands like Helly-Hansen at a fraction of the cost. Actually, a friend of mine bought one of their jackets last year, and I was impressed with the product’s quality and durability. I just had to mention them in this article after that.

• How to choose sailing clothing: what to wear

Yachting is not just a week of sunbathing on a boat in the Mediterranean. Especially in spring and autumn, the temperatures tend to fluctuate a lot during the day and winds coupled with the occasional shower of sea water doesn't add to the comfort. In such conditions, the right sailing apparel can really help you stay warm and dry. What exactly should you get? What to look for? And what's worth spending money on for more demanding crossings?

Why choose specialist clothing for sailing?

It may occur to you that it isn’t really necessary to buy clothing specifically for sailing when you already have a perfectly fine windbreaker at home. And for summer, you already have a stylish striped t-shirt and shorts. These are nice ideas… but not the best choices. So why? Because yachting apparel must be able to withstand completely different conditions that it has been specially developed for.

What makes sailing apparel special?

• The fabric must be able to handle salt .
• The fabric must be  suitable for dam p and wet conditions (quick-drying, waterproof or water-repellent) or for  direct sunlight  (UV filter).
• The fabric must be  extra strong to be able to withstand friction, movement and contact with the boat.
• The cut must  respect the specifics of movement  on board as well as the weather (high collar, reinforced parts, adjustable elements).

What happens to normal clothing while sailing? The salt quickly clogs the fabric membrane and it ceases to perform its function. The clothing also  wears out or get damaged much faster . Or even worse, they leave you wet and freezing cold.

Of course, some pieces of clothing are  universal  and can be used in the mountains, and on trips and on board a boat. These are items such as functional underwear that you can use as a bottom layer or warm socks on spring or autumn cruises. Remember that  layering is the right way to go . It's better to have several thin layers than one thick one. There is no compromise here.

To buy or not to buy?

Not sure what clothing to buy and whether you’ll make use of it? Try  renting clothes the first time you go out to sea. You’ll be able to see how they feel, find out what suits you and what you personally want to invest in. Plus, you’ll see for yourself exactly how much of a difference there is between a hiking jacket and a sailing jacket.

YACHTING.COM TIP: If you are new to yachting or are only going on one boating holiday, there is no need to worry about specialist sailing clothes. Take a look at our article —  First time on a yacht: what should you pack?  And for a complete list of what to pack for sea (including documents, money, food and everything else), check out our article —   Sailing essentials: don't forget to pack these things .

Why invest in specialist brands and not in retail chains?

Some sports chains offer their very own and  inexpensive yachting lines . For your first tentative steps in yachting, it will probably be enough. But if you’re even the slightest bit serious about yachting, you should definitely try clothing manufacturers who specialize in yachting gear.

Why? Retail chains do not invest as much in development which means the clothing is often outdated. Reputable companies innovate every year and push new materials down to their lower clothing lines, so even the cheapest line is well thought out. And most importantly, they also  invest in the cut of the clothing , i.e. specialist yachting apparel fits better, is more detailed, is better suited to a how a sailor moves about and to the unpredictable weather. 

Whether or not a traditional yellow raincoat is enough at sea is also a heated topic among sailors. One of its main advocates is the well-known expedition yachtsman Jirka Denk.

What clothes to buy for yachting?

When you ask an experienced sailor what clothes to choose, they’ll probably summarize the main principles as follows:  "Protection against water and wind".  Although relatively sound advice, there are many factors involved in this. Let's take a closer look at what exactly lies beneath it and what to look for when making a choice!

We’ll take a look at what to take to Croatia in summer, as well as focussing on clothing for moderate and difficult conditions.

1. What to wear on a yacht in summer?

T-shirt or base layer.

• The best choice is a lycra t-shirt  or a t-shirt made of a functional material. It should fit   comfortably, perfectly draw away moisture and be made of a quick-drying material. And in summer you’ll appreciate a bit of UV protection. We recommend choosing a longer sleeve that protects against the sun and wind.
• For lovers of natural materials, a great choice is clothing made of merino wool . Don't worry, you can choose the lightest weight for the summer. It is naturally functional and antibacterial, helps with thermoregulation and warms even when wet. It draws away moisture and, although woollen, it is really soft and light. Choose a lightweight fabric for the first layer or for summer, and choose a thicker, warmer one as a top layer.
• Even with trousers and shorts, it pays to use a functional material. Again, you will really appreciate it, if it dries quickly and removes moisture. Another advantage is a sporty comfortable fit, which will not limit you in any way when moving around on the boat. In better clothing lines, you’ll also find trousers that are specially reinforced in areas that come under the most stress.

Vest or lighter jacket

• In summer, a light water-repellent windbreak er will suffice. A great choice is also a windproof  vest  which is very comfortable even when working on a boat — your hands remain free and able to move unhindered.  

2. What to wear in medium conditions (INSHORE, spring or autumn recreational yachting)?

Here it is likely that you’ll face  stronger winds and you’ll get  a thorough showering from the sea. That's why it's very important that your clothes hold up in this weather. In spring and autumn there is also a big difference in temperature between the daytime and the evening. And even when the sun is shining, it can feel a lot colder due to the wind and moisture.

Sailing jacket?

You can't make do with a light windbreaker anymore. So what to look for when choosing a jacket in medium conditions in spring or autumn?

• Higher collar that protects the face from wind and water
• At least a double-layered coated /laminated fabric
• Adjustable cuffs with seal
• Water repellent finish
• Fully taped waterproof seams
• Breathability

An adjustable bottom hem and a solid zipper, ideally with a double cover and sufficiently large front pockets would also be an advantage. An inner pocket is perfect to keep the most important things dry and safe and plenty of  reflective elements  would also be of benefit.

Layering: why and how to layer clothes for yachting.

Under the jacket, you can layer a warm base layer, as well as a  vest or fleece sweatshirt . In medium conditions, you will use everything you already have for summer sailing.

• Bottom layer

The most important thing for the base layer is absorbency , so choose one that absorbs sweat and moisture well. Because you will be layering more clothes on top of each other,  choose underwear with flat seams . For colder weather, you will appreciate long sleeves and a two-layer construction with an insulated inner thermal layer .

• Middle layer

The main task of the middle layer is perfect insulation and thermal comfort. Therefore an ideal sweatshirt for harsher conditions would also be windproof (densely knitted fleece). But you can also choose more versatile clothing. Most apparel is relatively  universal, so it can be used as a top layer in better weather . In addition to its insulating properties and breathability, it should be light, windproof and waterproof.

Sailing trousers

When choosing trousers, essentially the same applies as for jackets: waterproof, windproof and highly  resistant to mechanical damage . What else do experienced sailors look for?

• Reinforced seat and knees
• Articulated knees
• Taped seams
• Elastic waist , giving you more mobility
• Adjustable ankle cuffs

With or without braces? This depends on you. Trousers with braces are always better at keeping your back dry and warm . The elastic belt then ensures good mobility. And they usually have a well-designed zipper, which is especially handy for men who won’t need to remove them completely. 

3. What to wear in medium to severe conditions (OFFSHORE)?

It's getting tough here, so look for clothes that provide the greatest possible protection. The basic requirement of the clothing is breathability and functionality . On long crossings, in more demanding conditions, you’ll appreciate not having to constantly change clothes without fear of fungal infections. Many sailors could tell you a story or two about mould and mildew on their clothing (and then on their skin).

A tight fit that fully  enables freedom of movement  should be a matter of course. For offshore voyages in harsher conditions, high visibility clothing is also suitable. One innovation is the use of photoluminescent technology for night visibility .

What to look for in an offshore sailing jacket?

The fabric of an offshore jacket must be extra durable and waterproof. In addition to the basic requirements of a jacket for medium conditions, you will also appreciate  the following features :

• Large insulated pockets
• Insulated high collar , insulated hood
• Double-layered laminated fabric with a durable water repellent finish
• Extended hem

Other added benefits would be things such as a loop for attaching a life jacket or a d-ring for attaching tools, flashlights.

In this category, you’ll also find jackets for highly demanding yachtsmen that need to withstand the rigours of a stormy ocean. And how are they different? Protective areas, three or even four-layered fabric, GORE-TEX  membrane or Solas  reflective elements . These jackets are tested in the most demanding conditions (e.g. at the VOLVO Ocean Race) and use cutting-edge technology.

Again, layering  should be used under the jacket.

Trousers for offshore sailing

For more demanding conditions, trousers can be found with, for example, insulated pockets, a thicker fabric and an even greater  emphasis on breathability, water resistance and windproofing than with inshore trousers.

What are the latest trends in the development of yachting apparel?

• Clothing that is multifunctional  and can be worn whilst walking as well as sailing. It has a more casual and modern look, but retains the features needed on board a yacht. Such clothing includes, for example, the new Henri-Lloyd jacket.
• Innovative use of colours . The traditional yellow colour has long been replaced by red. Recently there has been a refreshing use of orange, turquoise, blue and even white.
• Innovation also applies to the fit of the clothing. For example, work is being done on improved peripheral vision while maintaining a high collar.
• And one of the biggest gadgets is clothing which is battery-powered and actively keeps you warm. This is already well-known among technical divers and older skiers.

How to properly take care of sailing clothes?

Salt can cause a lot of problems. It corrodes cuffs, clogs membranes, damages fabric and colour. Therefore, the most important thing is to always rinse your clothing with fresh water  as soon as possible. Ideally, use a hose in the marina and give your clothing a good shower.

Once in a while it is good to wash the clothes in a  gentle/special detergent  to prevent clogging of membranes, which would reduce the effectiveness of the clothing. Needless to say, the use of fabric softener is a definite no-no. In addition to clogging the membrane and thus virtually destroying the functionality of clothing, its use unnecessarily pollutes the environment and our body.

Henri Lloyd is one of those sailing brands that you don’t often see cruisers wearing, but they make serious sailing gear in the same kind of price range as the above brands.

Henri Lloyd was founded in 1963 by Henri Strzelecki and Angus Lloyd, who were passionate sailors. They offer a wide range of products for sailors of all levels, including sailing jackets, trousers, gloves, and footwear.

My first sailing jacket was a Henri Lloyd offshore jacket. I was actually from a charity shop and was a round the world clipper jacket. I don’t actually know how old it was but I’m guessing it must have had a lot of previous use, so I was a little doubtful about how long it would hold up.

I have to say though that it’s been fantastic. It’s not the best for casual coastal sailing as it’s a little harder to get on and off with all the rubber seals, but when I’ve used it in anger it does keep me warm and dry, even after all these years. It makes the perfect winter sailing jacket .

It’s a stylish jacket too, that fits well over a few layers.

My one complaint is that it isn’t very breathable so I do get quite hot under the collar when working the winches or if the sun comes out briefly. It’s probably a little too hardcore for sailing the Med!

Overall, Henri Lloyd is a brand that deserves to be seen worn more! They make quality gear that stands the test of time.

Zhik is a brand we hadn’t heard of until we met our Australian friends! Which isn’t surprising as it is an Australian brand.

The company was founded in 2003 by Brian Conolly, a former Olympic sailor. They make a range of products for sailors of all levels, including sailing jackets, wetsuits, gloves, and footwear.

Our friends own several different products from Zhik and are happy with it all. In particular, they love their sailing jackets which they say are warm and breathable in the changing Mediterranean climates. Honestly, I don’t think we’ve seen them without the jackets on!

Zhik’s products use advanced materials that stand up to the harsh marine environment. For example, the brand’s wetsuits often feature neoprene with a titanium lining that provides exceptional warmth and flexibility.

Zhik also uses a range of other materials and technologies, such as hydrophobic coatings and UV protection, to ensure that its products perform at the highest level in a variety of weather conditions.

Many of the brand’s jackets and pants have numerous pockets and features such as adjustable cuffs and hoods. The brand’s products often feature bold colors and sleek, minimalist designs that are both functional and stylish. This has helped to attract a wide range of customers, from serious racers to casual weekend sailors.

We can’t speak from our own experience, but our friends absolutely love their gear and won’t shop anywhere else now. That speaks pretty loudly of quality!

Dubarry of Ireland is a brand that specializes in high-quality, luxury outdoor and marine clothing and footwear. The company was founded in 1937 by a co-operative of craftsmen in County Galway, Ireland, who saw a need for high-quality, durable footwear for the harsh Irish landscape.

Today, Dubarry makes a range of sailing gear but they are best known for their sailing shoes and boots. A lot of their clothes could be classed as more outdoor gear rather than specifically sailing.

Dubarry uses a range of other materials and technologies, such as hydrophobic coatings and breathable fabrics, to ensure that its products perform at the highest level in a variety of weather conditions.

One of the things their customers love most about their products is the attention to detail and craftsmanship. Many of the brand’s jackets and trousers are made using traditional techniques and feature little details that you won’t find elsewhere.

They probably make the most stylish gear on this list (think old-fashioned class), but we think their clothes do lack some sailing-specific features that other brands on this list do a little better. Their shoes however are perfect for the job!

Sperry is an American brand that specializes in footwear, particularly boat shoes and other shoes designed for use on or near the water. The company was founded in 1935 by Paul Sperry, a sailor who wanted to create a shoe that provided better traction on wet surfaces.

Today, Sperry is a globally recognized brand that offers a wide range of footwear for men, women, and children.

One of Sperry’s most notable innovations is its patented “Razor-Siping” technology, which creates razor-thin grooves in the sole of the shoe to provide better traction on wet surfaces. This technology is used in many of the brand’s boat shoes and has helped to make Sperry a go-to brand for anyone who spends time on or near the water.

Another hallmark of Sperry’s footwear is its classic, nautical-inspired designs. The brand’s boat shoes are often made from high-quality materials such as leather and feature traditional designs that have become iconic in the sailing and boating communities.

In addition to boat shoes, Sperry also offers a range of other shoes that are designed for use on or near the water, such as sneakers, sandals, and boots.

In recent years, Sperry has also expanded its product line to include clothing and accessories that are inspired by its nautical heritage. These products often feature classic designs and high-quality materials, making them a popular choice for anyone who loves the outdoors and has an appreciation for timeless style.

With its patented technologies, classic designs, and commitment to quality, the company continues to be a top choice for anyone who wants footwear that can perform well in any conditions, while also looking great.

Slam is an Italian brand that specializes in sailing clothing and gear. The company was founded in 1978 by two brothers, Pasquale and Michele Truglio, who were passionate about sailing and saw a need for high-quality, technical sailing gear.

They’re not a big sailing brand and it’s uncommon to see people wearing their gear casually. They have a bit more of a reputation among race sailors and their gear tends to be a bit more suited to that.

Slam sailing gear is more expensive than a lot of brands on this list. They are trying to capture the professional market more than the casual cruisers market. If you’re into race sailing then their clothes are well worth checking out.

We like the designs of the Slam gear. It’s a little edgy and more trendy than some of the other clothes you’ll find on here.

The main problem we have with this sailing brand is the limited range for women. Their gear is far more tailored toward men, which is a shame. Hopefully this is something they’ll improve upon in the future.

The brand’s design philosophy often incorporates nautical elements and influences, such as clean lines, classic silhouettes, and maritime-inspired details. You may find marine-inspired colors like navy blue, white, and red, as well as patterns like stripes and prints reminiscent of sail designs.

In addition to its technical clothing and gear, North Sails also offers a range of products that are designed for more casual use. These products often feature classic, nautical-inspired designs that have become iconic in the sailing community, such as the brand’s signature “Sailor Jacket.”

It’s worth noting that North Sails’ clothing brand and sailmaking operations are closely linked, with the clothing line reflecting the brand’s sailing heritage and commitment to quality craftsmanship.

By combining functional design with a coastal lifestyle aesthetic, North Sails offers a unique clothing experience for those who appreciate both fashion and the sea.

#12 Columbia – One Of The Best Sailing Clothes Brands

Columbia is a well-known brand that offers a wide range of outdoor apparel and gear, including clothing that is suitable for sailing. The brand has been around since 1938 and has established a reputation for quality and durability in its products.

Columbia offers a variety of clothing options that are suitable for sailing, including jackets , trousers, and shorts. These products are designed to be comfortable and functional, providing sailors with protection from the elements while also allowing for ease of movement.

One of the key features of Columbia’s sailing clothing is its use of advanced materials and technologies. The brand’s jackets often feature waterproof and breathable fabrics, such as Gore-Tex®, that help to keep sailors dry and comfortable even in wet conditions. The brand also offers clothing with UPF protection to protect sailors from harmful UV rays.

In addition to its technical clothing and gear, Columbia also offers products that are suitable for more casual sailing activities. These products often feature classic, nautical-inspired designs that are both functional and stylish, such as the brand’s popular PFG line.

Although the clothes from Columbia can definitely be used on a sailboat, a lot of their clothing isn’t sailing-specific. This means they might lack things like sealed cuffs and reflective strips. For casual day sailing this might be just fine, but for more serious sailors this probably isn’t the sailing brand for you.

Overall, Columbia is a brand that offers a range of products that are suitable for sailing, from high-performance technical gear to more casual, stylish options. It’s a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts who want clothing that is flexible for a range of different outdoor activities, not necessarily just sailing.

Grundéns is a brand that specializes in high-performance gear for commercial and recreational fishing, including clothing that is suitable for sailing. The brand was founded in 1911 and has been dedicated to providing fishermen with durable, functional gear ever since.

Grundéns offers a range of products that are specifically designed for sailing, including jackets, trousers, and bibs. These products are designed to be waterproof and windproof, providing sailors with protection from the elements.

Many of Grundéns’ products are made from durable materials, such as PVC-coated polyester and heavy-duty nylon, which are designed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment.

Many of the brand’s products have multiple pockets, adjustable cuffs, and other features that are designed to make life easier for sailors. For example, the brand’s Gage Weather Watch Jacket features a zippered chest pocket that is designed to hold a VHF radio, while its Weather Watch Trousers have a reinforced seat and knees for added durability.

Their products often feature classic, nautical-inspired designs, such as the brand’s popular Eat Fish logo, which has become an icon in the fishing community.

With its range of sailing clothing and gear, the brand is a popular choice for sailors of all levels who demand the very best in terms of performance and protection.

Salty Crew is a brand that offers a range of clothing and gear that is specifically designed for surfers and anglers, but is also suitable for sailing. They’re a great brand to opt for if you need clothing that’s versatile for a range of marine environments.

The brand was founded in 2012 and has quickly become a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts who demand high-quality, functional gear.

Salty Crew’s sailing clothing range includes jackets, hoodies, and t-shirts that feature nautical-inspired designs. These products are made from high-quality materials, such as soft cotton and moisture-wicking polyester, that are designed to keep sailors comfortable and protected from the elements.

One of the key features of Salty Crew’s sailing clothing is its attention to detail. The brand’s products often feature unique, eye-catching designs that stand out from the crowd. For example, the brand’s Tippet Camo Windbreaker features a bold camo design that is sure to turn heads.

In addition to its clothing range, Salty Crew also offers a range of accessories that are designed for sailing, such as hats and sunglasses. These products often feature stylish designs that are inspired by the ocean and the outdoor lifestyle.

Overall, Salty Crew is a brand that offers high-quality, functional sailing clothing that is designed for the modern sailor. With its attention to detail, unique designs, and commitment to quality, the brand is a popular choice among sailors of all levels who demand the very best in terms of style and performance.

Quiksilver is a brand that is well-known for its high-quality, functional surfwear, but it also offers a range of clothing that is suitable for sailing. Like Helly Hansen, this is a brand that many people will have heard of whether they’re into sailing or not.

You won’t find the range of technical sailing clothes on offer from brands like Gill and Helly Hansen, but if you’re after quality swimwear and sun protection gear then this is a great choice.

Quiksilver’s sailing clothing range includes jackets, boardshorts, and t-shirts that feature nautical-inspired designs. These products are made from high-quality materials, such as quick-drying polyester and breathable cotton, that are designed to keep sailors comfortable and protected from the elements.

One of the key features of Quiksilver’s sailing clothing is its versatility. Many of the brand’s products can be worn both on and off the water, making them a great choice for sailors who want to look stylish and comfortable at all times.

For example, the brand’s Waterman Centinela 4 Shirt is a lightweight, breathable shirt that is perfect for sailing, but can also be worn as a casual shirt on land.

In addition to its clothing range, Quiksilver also offers a range of accessories that are designed for sailing, such as hats and sailing sunglasses .

Overall, Quiksilver is a brand that offers high-quality, functional sailing clothing that is designed for the modern sailor. You won’t find race gear, or offshore foulies, but you can pick up quality every day clothes that will last in the harsher environment.

Roxy, similar to Quicksilver, is a popular brand that is well-known for its high-quality, stylish surfwear, but it also offers a range of clothing that is suitable for sailing. Again, don’t shop here for proper sailing jackets.

Roxy’s sailing clothing range includes jackets, shorts, and t-shirts that feature nautical-inspired designs. These products are made from high-quality materials, such as quick-drying polyester and lightweight cotton, that are designed to keep sailors comfortable and protected from the elements.

They do some great swimwear that should last for many seasons, which is ideal when you’re basically living in the water!

The Right Sailing Clothes Brand For You

Picking the right sailing clothes brand for you might not be the easiest with so many great options out there. Here are a few things to take into consideration.

Price is an important factor to consider when choosing a sailing clothes brand. While high-end brands often offer the best quality and performance, they can also be quite expensive. On the other hand, budget-friendly brands may not offer the same level of quality, but they can be a more affordable option for casual sailors.

When choosing a sailing clothes brand based on price, it’s important to determine your budget and what you’re willing to spend. If you’re on a tight budget, brands like Columbia or Salty Crew may be a good option as they offer quality products at a more affordable price point.

If you’re willing to spend a bit more, brands like Helly Hansen, Gill, and Henri Lloyd offer high-end sailing clothing that is designed for serious sailors and can withstand harsh weather conditions.

It’s also important to consider the value for money that a brand offers. Some brands may offer a higher price point, but their products may last longer or offer better performance than lower-priced brands.

It’s important to read reviews and do your research before making a purchase to ensure that you’re getting the best value for your money.

Ultimately, the choice of sailing clothes brand will depend on your individual needs and budget. It’s important to find a brand that offers quality products that fit your budget and will keep you comfortable and protected on the water.

When it comes to choosing a sailing clothes brand based on quality, there are several factors to consider. High-quality sailing clothing should be durable, comfortable, and able to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Brands like Gill, Helly Hansen, Henri Lloyd, North Sails, and Musto are known for their high-quality sailing gear, offering advanced technologies and materials that provide excellent performance and protection. They use high-quality materials like Gore-Tex, Primaloft, and Polartec, which are designed to keep sailors dry and warm in harsh weather conditions.

Another factor to consider when looking for high-quality sailing clothes is the level of attention to detail in the design and construction. Brands that pay attention to the little details like seam taping, reflective detailing, and adjustable cuffs can make a big difference in terms of comfort and performance.

In fact, if you want a proper sailing jacket don’t even consider one without rubber cuff seals. We tried using a raincoat once and just got totally soaking and miserable within an hour of being at sea!

It’s also important to consider the specific needs of your sailing activity. If you’re a competitive sailor, you’ll want high-quality clothing that can withstand high speeds and constant movement. If you’re a casual sailor, you may be able to get away with a less expensive brand that still offers good quality and comfort.

Comfort is a crucial factor when choosing the right sailing clothes brand. Sailing can be a physically demanding activity, and it’s important to have clothing that is comfortable and allows for a full range of motion.

Brands like Helly Hansen, Gill, and Musto offer sailing clothes with ergonomic designs that are tailored to fit the body and provide comfort and flexibility. They use materials that are breathable, moisture-wicking, and lightweight, which help to keep sailors comfortable and dry during long periods on the water.

We tend to buy a size up which gives us the flexibility to layer up underneath and still have plenty of room to move. It’s always worked well and even when we don’t need extra layers, we’ve found the loose-fitting clothes to breathe better too.

It’s also important to consider the specific needs of your sailing activity. For example, if you’re sailing in hot weather conditions, you may want to choose a brand that offers clothing with UV protection and moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool and dry.

Another important factor to consider when choosing a sailing clothes brand for comfort is the fit. Clothing that is too tight or too loose can be uncomfortable and restrict movement. Brands like North Sails offer sailing clothes with a variety of sizing options to ensure a comfortable fit for all body types.

While performance and comfort are key factors when choosing a sailing clothes brand, style is also an important consideration for many sailors. After all, you want to look good and feel confident while you’re out on the water.

Fortunately, there are many sailing clothes brands that offer stylish and fashionable designs without sacrificing performance or comfort.

Brands like Roxy, Quiksilver, and Pelagic offer clothing with vibrant colors, trendy designs, and stylish cuts that are sure to turn heads and can be worn on and off the boat.

For sailing jackets, we love the look of our Gill gear. It has all the features you want, like reflective strips and neon hood, but they blend in well with the jacket so you can wear it the pub and not feel too out of place!

However, it’s important to remember that style should not be the only factor when choosing a sailing clothes brand. It’s crucial to prioritize quality, comfort, and performance when selecting your gear to ensure that you’re safe and protected while on the water.

If style is important to you, consider finding a brand that offers a balance of fashion and function. Look for sailing clothes with trendy designs and colors that also offer advanced technologies and materials that provide excellent performance and protection.

As you can see, there is a huge range of sailing clothes brands to choose from and what you go for will depend on your specific needs. Remember you don’t have to stick to one brand!

We love our jackets and trousers from Gill and Helly Hansen, and these would be our top picks for quality sailing gear. But we buy our less essential gear like T-shirts and sun hats from less expensive brands like Quiksilver and Columbia.

Consider what things you have to spend money on to stay safe on the water, and make sure that’s the gear you invest in.

Helly Hansen

What makes Helly Hansen unique among other boat sailing brands is the fact that this company first introduced the 3-layers concept. This is one of the nautical clothing brands that were born out of the sheer need to get better protective clothing in harsh weather conditions.

Helly Hansen is a Scandinavian brand founded in Norway in 1877. Since the beginning, Helly-Hensen has produced state-of-the-art sailing gear. These include the best sailing jackets .

One of the techniques they have been deploying to make their apparel waterproof is using course linen that’s been soaked in linseed.

Today, Helly Hansen is one of the best boat sailing brands worldwide and it provides the ideal blend of style, comfort, and efficiency.

Musto has long been known as one of the most reputable clothing brands for sailors and sea lovers. This company goes back more than 50 years ago. They’ve been manufacturing premier sailing gear that stands the test of time.

Their clothes are specially designed for those who are ready to venture out on the seas.

The company’s founder, Keith Musto decided to create innovative technical sailing clothes after participating in the 64’s Olympics in the sailing squad. This event prompted him to design quality sailing apparel that could meet the needs of professionals.

What sets this brand apart are the quality materials they use, materials that are comfortable, 100% waterproof and able to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

This company originates in Australia and is one of the brands you’re bound to see at the Olympics. This company aims to provide a comprehensive range of sailing apparel that can cover sailors’ needs in any weather.

Zhik is a fairly new brand that began in 2003. Their innovative dinghy gear and wetsuits took the concept of performance to a whole new level, which soon made them famous worldwide.

This company has a reputation for innovation and designing proprietary fabrics that ensure the highest level of comfort and functionality.

Moreover, they also promote an environmental-friendly approach by using sustainable materials in their clothing.

Gill Marine

This is one of the sailing brands that was born out of necessity, the founder’s necessity to create the dinghy sailing gear he wasn’t able to find on the market.

It all happened in 1975 when Nick Gill, an avid dinghy sailor took up the ambitious task of creating the perfect dinghy gear. He started investing time and energy and experimented with different designs in order to come up with the perfect sailing clothing for different settings and weather conditions.

Currently, Gill Marine is the number one choice for New Zeeland’s America’s Cup champions team. Besides sailing apparel, this company also produces shoes and accessories (such as sailing hats or gloves for sailing ).

Henri Lloyd

This is another one of the best clothing brands for sailing whose story goes way back.

The company was founded in 1963 in Manchester. It all began when Henri Strzelecki, company co-founder, created a sturdy sailing jacket with Velcro fastener. Known as one of the top sailing brands on the market, this brand has been producing sailing products for over 50 years.

This brand is one of the pioneers in its domain and it has always promoted the use of man-made materials. Owned and operated by professional sailors dedicated to creating top-notch products for other passionate sailors, Henri Loyd is a great choice if you are looking for a new brand to represent your sailing passion.

We couldn’t be talking about nautical brands without mentioning Dubarry. This company is mostly known for the sturdy and reliable sailing footwear it provides.

The company was born in Ireland in 1937. Their products are tightly connected to Galway’s sailing heritage. The signature shoes they provide are famous worldwide among sailors and they are highly appreciated for their water resistance, durability, and excellent grip.

This Irish brand is known for making some of the best sailing gear in the world. Their carefully crafted footwear now deploys innovative high-tech materials.

Sperry is a traditional sailing gear manufacturer that started its long and successful journey back in 1935.

The founder of the company was a sailor, Paul Sperry who decided to create the perfect sailing shoe after an unfortunate event that saw him plummet in the sea.

He came with a unique sole design that he also patented and that was able to provide good grip even on a wet deck. His innovative shoes soon became the preferred choice of the Cruising Club of America’s members and they continue to enjoy the same success both among professional and casual sailors.

They now provide some of the best sailing shoes on the market.

Saint James

Born from sailors’ need to be protected from wind and water, Saint James (known as the nautical sweater specialist) is the original purveyor of the iconic Breton Stripes shirt and also one of the top French marine clothing brands for men, women, and children.

Based in Normandy, Saint James was founded in 1889 in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and has managed to stay contemporary and true to its heritage at the same time. Coco Chanel popularized the brand’s distinctive striped t-shirt in the twentieth century.

Saint James Clothing creates nautical-themed designs that are influenced by classic French Navy uniforms. This sailing clothing brand store offers a variety of vintage-inspired fits created in the village of Saint-James (France), ranging from Breton striped jerseys to soft knits.

The French State has now granted the 150-year-old brand the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” label for its knitting excellence.

Today their clothing line is distributed around the world and we love to see how its nautical style is constantly being reinvented.

Nautica is definitely among the best clothing brands for sailing. This company was born in 1983 and it is considered one of the premier men’s lifestyle brands.

What sets them apart is the fact that they drew inspiration from the nautical environment and applied it in their everyday clothes for men.

Unlike other companies that focused on solving practical problems while creating sailing clothes, Nautica focused on leveraging the typical style of this type of apparel.

They don’t put so much emphasis on the performance of their apparel, but on its good looks. Their attractive clothes boast a blend of traditional sailing designs with modern elements.

North Sails

This sailing gear company was founded in 1957 by Lowell North, a famous Olympic Gold Medalist.

Their story is similar to that of other nautical brands as it started from the founder’s ambitious desire to design a highly performant item, which, in this case, was a set of sails. He managed to design high-performance sails, but the company’s endeavor didn’t stop here as they have also started focusing on clothes.

Their apparel offers a practical solution that combines efficiency with style and aims to keep sailors safe and comfortable in any weather conditions.

Another great thing about the North Sails clothing line is that it offers both traditional and high-performance models so that you can find your match no matter what your tastes are.

This is one of the most famous European sailing brands. Founded in Italy, in the city of Genoa, Slam has gradually conquered a place among the biggest sailing clothes manufacturers.

Located on the Ligurian coast, Genoa was a perfect setting for a company trying to strive at creating prime quality sailing gear, inspired by the life and needs of seamen.

However, the key to their success was the tight collaboration with different Olympic sailors.

Nowadays, Slam offers a comprehensive array of lifestyle and recreational sailing clothes that perfectly capture the typical Italian craftiness and style. Their clothes are both visually appealing but also meant to help sailors face the harshest weather conditions.

Navis Marine

Navis Marine, also deserves a place among our best clothing brands for sailing. This company is located in China and they have been offering high-performance sailing clothing for some time now.

They have a global audience and provide mass apparel production services worldwide. This clothes supplier and manufacturer handles the entire production process from design to marketing. With proven expertise and reliable skills, this manufacturer has managed to bring clients’ sailing apparel ideas to perfection. 

They now have over 500 performance sports clothes designs clients can choose from in order to develop their own brand. Moreover, they also create on-demand products based on clients’ own concept.

The classic sailing brands every yacht owner should know

Whether it's competitive sailing  you're into or relaxing on board your superyacht as your cruise the Mediterranean , these are the best brands to ensure you fit right in on the choppy seas or at the superyacht regatta . From high-tech performance apparel for braving the elements to chic leisurewear for relaxing on deck, you'll look and feel the part in these brands.

With 50 years experience creating cutting-edge performance gear, few brands are more synonymous with sailing than Musto . With emphasis on practicality and innovation combined with quality crafting, Musto apparel is made for adventure with style.

The history: In 1964 the brand’s founder Keith Musto competed in the Tokyo Olympics as part of the British sailing squad. It was during the relentless training for the competition that he realised their uniform of Guernsey sweaters and flannel trousers wasn’t cutting it and set out to create a line of revolutionary technical sailing apparel.

To further develop its advanced materials, Musto teamed up with W. L. Gore to create a tough yet breathable waterproof fabric that could endure the brutal conditions of ocean sailing. Together the brands produced an extra-durable Gore-Tex membrane. Twenty years later the material is still at the core of Musto’s renowned HPX range.

For stormy seas: MPX Gore-Tex Pro Offshore Jacket, £550, musto.com

Henri Lloyd

Henri Lloyd’s sailing collection lies at the heart of the brand. Its connection with the sea began when co-founder Henri Strzelecki designed the first sailing jacket with a Velcro fastener. Since then the brand has continued to blend heritage with modern style to create lines that are both practical and sophisticated.

The history: Founded in 1963 in the British city of Manchester, Henri Lloyd quickly found favour with the sailing community for its pioneering use of new technologies and man-made materials.

Just three years after its launch early circumnavigation adventurers such as Sir Francis Chichester, Sir Robin Knox-Johnson and Sir Ranulph Fiennes began to choose Henri Lloyd’s high-tech gear. This tradition continues today both on and off the water with Henri Lloyd being the choice of four-time Olympic gold medallist and America’s Cup competitor Sir Ben Ainslie .

For stormy seas: Freedom Suit bundle, £349.95, force4.co.uk

Famed for its iconic sailing footwear, Dubarry takes inspiration from Galway’s boating heritage with the tough elements of the brand’s homeland echoed in the durability of its products.

The history: In 1937 the Dubarry co-operative company was established to provide employment in the small town of Ballinasloe on the west coast of Ireland. Thanks to their comfort, water resistance and unbeatable grip, the brand soon became known for its signature sailing footwear.

Now a globally recognised brand, Dubarry’s heritage still continues to influence its future. Through combining traditional design with high-tech materials each product is meticulously designed to give the best performance.

For stormy seas: Crosshaven Sailing Boot, £379, Dubarryboots.com

From creating the world’s first boat shoe to becoming a modern nautical icon, Sperry is renowned for the durability, comfort and timeless style of its designs.

The history: Founded in 1935 by avid sailor Paul Sperry, the ambitious quest to create the perfect sailing shoe began when Sperry slipped and fell overboard while out on the water off Long Island. Sperry spent months in his workshop in New Haven trying to perfect his non-slip sole when eventually inspiration came from an unlikely source - his dog. He patented a design that carved indentations into the soles of his shoes to replicate the grooves in his dog’s paws thus providing traction on the slippery surfaces of the deck.

After the launch of the first shoe, every single member of the Cruising Club of America wrote to Sperry requesting a pair of his innovative Top-Siders. Ever since Sperry has been the go-to brand for boating footwear and a key component in casual sailing style.

For stormy seas: Cold Bay Duck Boot, £109, sperry.com

Helly Hansen

The original pioneer of the three-layer concept, Helly Hansen has a history of product innovation that blends Scandinavian design signatures with inspiration drawn from the practicalities of living in some of the harshest environments on earth.

The history: After years battling tough conditions on the Norwegian Sea, captain Helly Juell Hansen began to produce his own oilskin jackets, trousers and sou’wester hats. Each piece was made from a course linen soaked in linseed to make it weather proof.

From these humble beginnings on the fjords of Scandinavia in 1877, Helly Hansen has grown to become a leading global sailing brand. Offering the optimal combination of performance, protection and style, its progressive designs continue to protect and enable professional sailors around the world.

This Australian apparel brand has become a household name for sailors and Olympians globally. Pushing the boundaries on design and evolving their technical clothing, Zhik caters for all weather conditions both in functionality and style.

The history : Founded in 2003, Zhik’s range of wetsuits and dinghy gear completely changed the design approach for performance clothing and have been rapidly adopted by sailors across the globe.

Since then Zhik has developed their own specialist proprietary and trademarked fabrics including Isotak® a breathable, waterproof offshore fabric that is four times more durable that equivalent fabrics, the lighter Aroshell® breathable fabric and Superwarm®, a four-way stretch, extremely warm and thin neoprene fabric. In 2019 Zhik launched a range of ECO wetsuits, made from entirely natural plant-based fabrics and recycled plastic bottles.

Twin Cities clothing brand sharing in Timberwolves success with partnership

In a world where individuality comes at a premium, Lamb Chops , a Twin Cities-based clothing brand, stands out with its unique messaging. The brainchild of owner and creator Jordan Dye, the Lamb Chops logo has swiftly become a familiar sight on chains, shirts, shorts and hats across the greater metro area, thanks to its distinct appeal.

From his early days, it was clear that Jordan Dye’s path was intertwined with basketball. His love for the sport led him to collect and wear Jordan sneakers in his youth, and he even worked at several sneaker boutiques. At one of these boutiques, with a print shop in the back, Dye’s journey as a clothing designer began to take shape. 

“I started messing around with making shirts and selling them. Eventually, I fell in love with it after going through the process,” Dye said. 

While attending Bethel University and studying entrepreneurship, Dye would launch his original company named “Shepherd Goods.” In a position where he could now pair his newly founded brand with courses on business planning and strategy, Dye found a balance in building a solid structural core to his clothing line. Dye would also get creative in brand placement by handing out merchandise at concerts and shows to prominent music acts who would tour through the Twin Cities. 

“I started going to shows and gave out clothes to people like Chance the Rapper, Mac Miller, Chief Keef and Lil Durk. That was right as I was getting going, so I saw something there,” Dye said.

After seeing nationally respected artists proudly wearing Shepherd Goods apparel, Dye confidently journeyed into more innovative “cut and sew” work. This process involves designing and creating garments from scratch, using raw fabric and materials. By visiting Joann Fabrics and experimenting with different textures and color patterns, Dye was able to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that set Lamb Chops apart from other brands. During this process, Lamb Chops would be spawned as a sister company to Shepherd Goods, embodying the dreams and aspirations of a community eager to express its unique identity through fashion. 

“I would find the craziest fabrics and bring the seamstress shorts, joggers and button-ups. That felt like a crazier vibe than Shepherd Goods, so that’s where Lamb Chops essentially branched from as a sister brand,” Dye said.

The Lamb Chops logo, a cleaver, has more than one meaning. The first is a play on Dye’s transition into the cut, or in this case, chop and sew, sector of work. However, the larger and overarching theme of the cleaver is rooted in the belief in presenting your best self. 

“The cleaver symbolizes cutting the bad and keeping the good. It’s like how a butcher cuts the bad parts off the meat to keep the best cut of meat- it’s cutting the bad parts out of your life to make the best version of you,” Dye said.

Dye’s authenticity shines through his attention to detail and overall quality of work. His morals prove important regarding Lamb Chops as a business and fashion symbol. When a creator puts honesty into their work to elevate the positives in life, it becomes contagious to support that product. 

“In this day and age where there’s so much negativity, being there for each other and striving to be the best you can be is important. Honesty and integrity- to me, the biggest thing is how you treat people and not treat anyone differently no matter what,” Dye said. 

Jordan experienced steady growth within the Twin Cities fashion market. What Dye described as a “smooth transition” can be credited to Lamb Chops being one of the earlier independent homegrown clothing brands Minnesota has seen. This success is largely due to the support and patronage of the local community, who have embraced Lamb Chops as a symbol of their unique identity and style. 

The community support for Lamb Chops is a testament to its popularity and local impact. The odds of spotting someone with a cleaver chain, hat, or hoodie around the North Loop are high. Residents of Minneapolis have embraced Lamb Chops as their own, a mark of their love for independent fashion. Dye uses this warm reception as a driving force for his brand.

Local businesses in the Minneapolis area began selling Lamb Chops clothing. Most notably, WaterWave, located in the Como neighborhood, shared positive experiences with Dye. Artist and co-owner of WaterWave Kelvin Kuria (Kelvino) spoke on the trailblazer Jordan Dye has become. 

“We really appreciate Jordan a lot, honestly. He was one of the first people to give us a chance. You know that he’s really putting his time and effort into his drops. The fact that he’s allowed us to give people his brand and bring us business is a blessing,” Kuria said. 

Dye’s impact on the clothing scene all returns to the community interface.

“That’s what keeps me going. Interacting with the community face to face goes a long way,” Dye said. 

The conversation began moving toward the Minnesota Timberwolves, and when it did, Jordan Dye’s face lit up with pure glee. Dye collaborated directly with the Timberwolves on a collaboration with Lamb Chops. Within minutes, the team store outside Target Center’s ticket gates sold out of the Timberwolves x Lamb Chops collection. The rush showed overwhelming support from fans for a local brand that actively celebrates the howling Wolves. 

Being a Wolves fan his whole life, Dye spoke about what this collaboration meant to him. 

“I grew up going to Wolves games with my dad since 1993. Those were always my favorite memories growing up. Seeing it sell out like that, I had no idea what to expect. I was just excited to have the collaboration. My favorite thing in the world is the Timberwolves, so partnering with them was very cool,” Dye said. 

As the Lamb Chops x Timberwolves gear sold out in record time, representatives of the Timberwolves team store mentioned how remarkable it was. Lisa Haliburton, a Fanatics employee, commented on the excited customers. 

“It was incredible to see how enthused the fans were for these specific articles of clothing,” Haliburton said.

The Lamb Chops gear has also reached the backs of Timberwolves players, with Jordan McLaughlin and Josh Minot wearing Lamb Chops clothing pre-game.  

Sitting courtside at Timberwolves home games, Dye’s energy cannot be missed wherever you are seated in Target Center. Dye’s passion and eccentricity for the team serve as a direct representation of what fans of the Timberwolves are experiencing with this current ultra-special roster. 

Dye was 13 years old when he was in the building with his father to see Kevin Garnett close out Game 7 against the Sacramento Kings to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Fast forward 20 years, and he is now witnessing a new era of Wolves ready for the same quest in a season where he collaborated with the team artistically. Moments like these, to supporters like Dye, are what make teams like the Timberwolves so special.

The A-list stars showed out in Christian Louboutin shoes for this year’s 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival.

Each year, the Cannes Film Festival brings out many different A-list celebrities as films of all genres are shown across a number of events. The festival is responsible for many hot-topic red carpets and photo calls globally, which often spark many viral social media fashion moments. This year at Cannes, the stars elected Christian Louboutin as their footwear choice for the many different premieres and events they attended over these past week.

Christian Louboutin continues to be among the most globally recognized luxury shoe designers. Born in January 1963 circa Paris, Louboutin started his career as a freelance designer, officially launching his own shoe salon in 1991. In the thirty-plus years since, the brand has become recognized for their red bottoms and high-quality craftsmanship, revolutionizing the fashion industry with their bold designs and commitment to innovation. Louboutin shoes are also a widely requested namesake popular amongst the likes of celebrities and influential figures in the couture space.

Nick Jonas was seen Thursday evening wearing a pair of the Christian Louboutin Chambeliss Night Strass dress shoes.

Crafted with velvet, the shoes included peep toes, knotted uppers, platforms, and a towering 6-inch stiletto heel. Additionally, earlier this week, Moore attended Chopard’s “Once Upon A Time” evening in Cannes wearing the Cordura Strappy pumps in Calipso. Made with nappa leather, the shoes include an almost 4-inch thin stiletto heel, a baby pink finish on the sole and a delicately thin wrap-around ankle strap and buckle for closure.

Colman Domingo opted for a pair of the brand’s Roadie Calf Leather boots to attend Thursday’s amFAR Cannes Gala , which are constructed with patent leather material, and feature a short block heel that clocks in at about 1.5 inches.

Selena Gomez  attended the “Emilia Perez” photo call at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival on Sunday wearing Christian Louboutin’s patent leather Kate 100 pumps in red. The shoes featured a pointed-toe, slip-on silhouette and 4-inch stiletto heel.

The patent leather pump was first introduced in 1988, and features the trademark Tabi toe split.
