Since 1983, Nautica has been synonymous with classic American fashion and a sporty, preppy aesthetic. Originally a menswear company, the brand has evolved to encompass women's and children's lines as well as accessories and home decor products. Nautica's name derives from the Latin word for ship, and the maritime theme is reflected in its iconic logo, a spinnaker meant to symbolize "adventure, action, and classicism." Nautica currently operates 170 stores in more than 64 countries.
