As far as summer aesthetics go, you can't go wrong with the longtime reliable "cool L.A. girl" one. She's carefree and casual and dresses for long days in the sunshine. Yes, these are all L.A. girl stereotypes, but stereotypes can be true sometimes. And whether they intended to or not, J.Crew's designers appeared to have the L.A. girl look in mind when designing the summer 2023 collection.
Having lived in L.A. for seven years before moving to the South, so I think I have a good handle on how people dress there. I took my expertise and shopped the J.Crew summer collection through the SoCal lens, and narrowed it down to 29 pieces that really nail it. Feel free to shop them below, whether you live there or just want to dress like you do. I've got you covered head to toe.
