Shop fisherman core: French coastal ease with a touch of Nora Ephron charm

The quiet return of fisherman core feels less like a trend and more like a seasonal memory resurfacing.Think French coastal aesthetic paired with the charming style of Nora Ephron’s main characters.Who can forget Harry Burns in When Harry Met Sally, tucked into a fisherman sweater that looked as if it had lived several lives before landing on his shoulders? Chunky, cozy, and a little oversized, it wasn’t about fashion so much as feeling at home in your own skin.Ephron’s wardrobes were layered in ways that now feel strikingly current.
What we call shackets today were once just thick button-ups — the kind Tom Hanks wore in You’ve Got Mail with an everyman charm.Add in a touch of French nostalgia with striped tees and boat shoes, and suddenly you’re ready for a day on the yacht you may or may not own.
Keep people guessing; it’s more fun that way.Free People is leaning in with seagulls and stripes, while Ralph Lauren revives the yachting-club polish of an old-English gentleman reimagined for American shores.And in true fashion-cycle form, the cozy has come back around.
As Owen Thiele recalled on the Therapuss podcast: “Two, three years ago, Emma Chamberlain, who we love dearly, said, ‘Boat shoes will come back.’ And then all of a sudden, three years later, literally on the dot, I’m wearing them.”Just as Chamberlain predicted, some styles have a way of finding us again, not because they’re trendy, but because they are as classic as Nora Ephron herself, a woman who will never go out of style.So whether you’re following your favorite influencer or simply drawn to the classics, this is one look you can’t get wrong.These We The Free pinafore-inspired overalls feature a slim bodice and barrel-leg fit that give off that fresh-out-of-the-ocean catch vibe we all love, with oversized pockets, adjustable buckle straps, and multiple shades to choose from.Looking for high-quality stripes that last season after season?
