Are you looking to nail the cool girl California look? Here are the stylists-approved summer fashion trends in LA.

Bermuda Jorts

Whether you love them or hate them, denim bermuda shorts are a must-have this summer. The baggier, the longer, the better when it comes to jorts. Style this bottom with a ribbed tank for an easy, no fuss outfit that feels effortless yet cool. You can also style it with structured pieces and add some feminine accents like kitten heels and a blazer. When fall arrives, just pair the jorts with tall boots and a fitted cardigan.

Pleated Mini Skirts

Pleated skirts are a style staple and for this season, opt for more structured material like denim, cotton or corduroy. Pleated mini skirts are great transition because of the more structured pieces that feel very “fall-like”. To get into the fall look more, pair the pretty skirt with tall boots and chunky knitwear. Just add on a pair of sheer tights for more coverage from the cold wind.

Breezy Boxer Shorts

Love the comfy boxer short trend? Almost all the hottest celebs have been spotted wearing this “off-duty” crisp cotton poplin boxer shorts. Luxury brands like Ganni and Comme Si have embraced the effortless bottoms. If you are still mulling the idea of wearing one, it’s not too late. This boxer short can transition to fall following the “no pants trend” when styled with a blazer and loafers.

Statement Jewelry

Every outfit needs an accessory and statement jewelry is having a major moment right now. You may have spotted sea-inspired motifs are dominating the fashion scene. Although the mermaid jewels are more for summertime, the trend will transition into fall with a nod to the 80s-style jewelry. Expect to see shell statement earrings and conch shell rope pendants. Choose “more gold and darker beads like onyx.

For this season, a new layering trick has arrived on the fashion scene. It’s a fresh and exciting way to wear your clothes. We are familiar with layering necklaces for a bold and edgy look. Then there’s layering a graphic tee with blazer or turtlenecks with button-down shirts. The latest innovative take on the layering trend has emerged and it’s none other than the layered tank top trend that was popular back in the early 2000s. Just so you know, the contemporary layered-tank-top look is quite distinct from the looks in the ’00s. This comeback trend aligns with the sophisticated fashion aesthetics for 2024.

This season, it is all about the idea that wardrobe basics are not basic. They can be chic and relevant too. In order to slay this look like the fashion It girls, it’s best to invest in high quality tops that are made from thin fabric such as soft-stretch elastane blend or lightweight ribbed cotton. This is to avoid the look being bulky and messy. Rather than merely layering the same colored tank top, fashion enthusiasts are going for bright and neutral solid-colored camis and racerback tanks. They coordinate them with different colored tops that are within the same color family to give a sophisticated and put-together look.

Many brands have even embraced this increasingly popular layered-tank-top look.  Mango, COS, and H&M are offering pre–layered tank tops, so you don’t have to do all the hard work.

If you have been scrolling through social media, you would have probably stumbled upon fashion It girls or your favorite fashion influencers donning a familiar-looking pants. Yes, the capri pants are back. Y’all are likely to remember the capri pants craze back like 2o years ago that were a staple in everyone’s wardrobe and were worn to school dance, shopping dates and just about anywhere. These mid-length bottoms were ubiquitous in the late 90’s and early aughts. There were also the unofficial pop star outfits for celebrities like J Lo and Christina Aguilera.

What Are Capri Pants

For those of you who were born after the 90s or ’00s, capri pants are a league of their own. They are longer than shorts but not long enough to be trousers. The capri pants sit anywhere from under the knee to a few inches above the ankle. They also come in many different fabrics and styles, some are baggy and some tight.

Love it or not, capri pants are now influencing the wider fashion arena today. Spotted on the Spring catwalks of Coperni with a sporty spin that featured cropped pants with drawstrings while Tory Burch took on the “she means business” approach with tailored capri trousers paired with a blazer. Some stylish celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski have also embraced the return of this cropped bottom by pairing with fitted tops, sweaters and blazers for a night out in town.

It is rather easy to master this trend and do scroll ahead for some inspiration and fail-proof ways to style it.
