Fisherman chic is steering the style agenda this spring—anchoring wardrobes with rugged knits, bold stripes, and practical accessories. But we’re not cos-playing, simply paying homage.

This new maritime mood feels refreshingly modern, with Breton stripes, chunky cable knits, and chunky boots making waves from gallery openings to coffee queues. It’s a look that blends laid-back practicality with a polished edge, and don’t be afraid to borrow from the boys.

Stripes Take the Helm

Stripes are your starting point. Breton classics are making a strong comeback, but this season’s stripes are bigger, bolder, and full of personality. 

The Knits to Know

The fisherman jumper is a wardrobe essential for spring. Oversized, cosy, and effortlessly cool, today’s knits are perfect for layering against unpredictable Scottish weather. Check out Albaray for playful knits and Brora for that nod to nautical traditions while feeling completely contemporary.

Pair yours with loose denim or utility trousers, and hit up Uniqlo for that nonchalant, windswept vibe.

Chunky Boots or Nothing

Let’s be clear: in Scotland, boots aren’t a trend—they’re a necessity. And if you’re going to wear wellies, make them Hunter. Founded in Scotland and famous for its iconic designs, Hunter’s chunky rubber soles and bold primary colours keep things playful and practical, whether you’re stomping through puddles or making a statement in the city. These ones from Vagabond are fab if you’re heading into town, and on warmer days a slip on from TODDS is the perfect option. 

Finishing Touches

Top it all off with a rolled fisherman beanie, love this one from M&S men’s, a waterproof coat, and a touch of maritime jewellery.
