25 Mystical Items For The Mermaids In You

It’s all about that under-the-sea life

by dana guth

If you dream it, you can achieve it. That's our philosophy here at NYLON, where we draw major inspiration from mermaids and other mystical beings of (some might say) an imaginary universe. While we may never actually sprout fins or iridescent scales, that doesn't mean we can't look the part. After all, dressing up is half the fun of summoning those supernatural vibes, isn't it?

That's why we're bringing you a full line of mermaid-inspired pieces available at NYLONshop. Whether you're an ex-swimmer or just dipping your toes in the water, you can get your inner Aquarius on with clothing and accessories by Maude, Sophi Reaptress, Zero Gravity, and more. The Mermaid Shell Sunnies are a subtle oceanic touch while the Green Mermaid Leggings take a more literal approach to Ariel's signature style. Rumor has it, the iridescent Blue-Green Bucket Bag bestows the power of Poseidon upon the wearer. Put them all together, and you'll be riding the mermaid wave through a full moon cycle. 

Browse the gallery below to get a closer look at each piece.
