When it comes to summer aesthetics, you can't go wrong with the classic "cool L.A. girl" style. She's carefree, casual, and dresses for long days in the sunshine. Yes, these are stereotypes associated with L.A. girls, but sometimes stereotypes do hold true. Whether intentional or not, J.Crew's designers seemed to have captured the L.A. girl vibe in their summer 2023 collection.
Having lived in L.A. for seven years before moving to the South, I feel like I have a good understanding of local fashion. Taking that expertise, I curated a selection of 29 pieces from the J.Crew summer collection, focusing on the SoCal perspective. Whether you reside there or simply want to embrace the L.A. style, feel free to browse and shop the items below. I've got you covered from head to toe.
