Summer is in full swing, and LA fashionistas are breaking out their favorite hot-weather outfits and creating style statements that are sure to become trendy within the next few weeks. Los Angeles-based celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, and Jennifer Aniston have mastered the art of looking effortlessly cool and stylish during the hot summer months, just like some of the most fashion-forward residents of the City of Angels. If you need some fashion inspiration, here are the fun style trends that LA girls will be wearing this summer.
Cowboy Boots and Bikini Tops
Sneakers and flip flops are out, and cowboy boots are in this summer. Dua Lipa has been spotted wearing cowboy boots with cut-off jean shorts, a red bikini top, and a red and white gingham top. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner has paired this iconic staple with everything from a bikini top to dresses and jeans, while her sister Kourtney wore her boots with a black bikini top and a baseball cap. If you’re thinking about wearing a bikini with your boots like these stars, consider styling and experimenting with your top by tying it in different ways. Try tying it criss-crossed over your chest to create a halter neck, or tie the strings in front to create a sexy bandeau. As for your boots, pick a good pair, with rounded toes for maximum comfort, or pointed toes for a bit of flair. The fit should be snug, with enough room so you can wiggle your toes.
Structured Blazer Over a Cropped Top
If you ever want to nail the cool off-duty model look, take a leaf out of model Kaia Gerber’s book, and wear a structured blazer over a cropped top. This outfit combination is a go-to for the 19-year-old, and she usually pairs it with slacks or jeans, and boots or sneakers. For a look that will take you from the mall to dinner with friends, try wearing a plain or printed structured blazer and trousers with a plain black or white cropped top or bandeau, and finish the look with a classic pair of white sneakers and a clutch. You can also wear the blazer and top with short shorts, and pair the combo with flat strappy sandals.
White Pants
Most LA girls have a collection of white trousers in their closet, as they’re a lighter, more summery alternative to dark jeans. White form-fitting jeans, cigarette pants, and high-waisted trousers are about to become trendy again this summer, so refresh those white pieces by giving them a good wash to get rid of stains or signs of yellowing. Try soaking your white trousers and denim in warm water with a cup of baking soda for about eight hours. Then wash as usual to make them look clean and white again. You can pair white bottoms with anything, but for a summer vibe, try wearing coral, mint, butter yellow, or an aqua blue top, and accessorize with colorful bead or crystal jewelry.
LA girls are experts when it comes to hot weather style. Take a cue from Los Angeles fashionistas to look your absolute best this summer.
