hi! i hope everyone had such an amazing fourth of july this past weekend! over the past few days of being in the california republic, i have loved observing the style here! there is something about the salty air that makes for easy, breezy, and effortless outfits! i thought it would be fun to share a few of the items i’ve seen all over that can be worn anywhere all summer long!
STRAW HATS
almost everywhere you look, you are sure to find someone in a straw hat! i have never been a visor girl, but this summer i have seen so many of the straw visors like the ones in the collage above, and i thought they were so cute!! i absolutely love them!! all of the ones in the collage are from free people and thought all the color combinations they offered were so cute and chic! the “lifeguard hat” in the upper right hand corner are another staple! you are sure to find so many people clad in on these hats! something about them feels so beachy and makes you feel like a local no matter where you are! i have also seen lots of straw bucket hats which made me happy to see they are making a comeback!
GUY STYLE
for some reason i have a big love for cute style for guys hahaha! it’s so funny because i don’t have anyone put outfits together for, but i still love to save certain items to pinterest for the future! ;)) i have always loved watching john john florence surf and found out that he created his own brand called florence! all of the trunks on the collage are from there and the graphic tee too! i think they are so sporty! i also the the henleys are so cute and classy!
A TRIED AND TRUE ONE PIECE
i have seen so many cute one pieces this summer and just feel like they are such a good staple!! and in cold water i feel like they keep you extra warm haha!
SUNNIES
i have seen so many cute pairs of sunglasses around and realized how much they really can make an outfit as such a fun accessory! the california sun is no joke and so these are an added way to keep the sun out while looking cute! all of the ones in the collage are from anthropologie and free people because of their great prices and i thought they were just so cute!
LEISURELY AND LAIDBACK
i have noticed that in the mornings when the marine layer is still in effect there are lots of casual outfits for coffee and breakfast runs! i have seen a lot of outfits from vuori and so i decided to include some in the collage above!! i love the style of their clothes and thought they are so cute and laidback!
A STAPLE TRUCKER HAT
in tow with a casual outfit and sandals you can’t go wrong with a good trucker hat to keep the sun out of your eyes or when you need to run out the door before doing your hair!
SUMMER SANDALS
i have noticed that tennis shoes are quite rare here unless you’re working out or playing pickleball! i thought the other sandals in the collage were so cute, but the most popular ones are for sure the rainbows!! from sand to ocean water they can take a beating and still hold up for years and years! plus they get more and more comfortable as the years go by!!
ALOHA TO TOTES
these little totes are gems! they were created in hawaii but have made their way to california and have been such a hit! they are 100% waterproof and come in the cutest styles! they are such a great beach day staple and match with everything!
i hope this post put you in a california state of mind! thank you so much for reading!!
