LA’s Best Summer Street Style

I love street style in LA: it’s laid-back and casual, seriously functional yet always fun. Here are some of our favorite looks so far this summer.


It’s been a hot (and oddly humid) year thus far with some of the warmest months yet to come. So when it comes to fashion, Angelenos are actually quite practical while still staying true to their personal style. I draw a lot of inspiration from people-watching on the streets of LA — from farmers markets in Santa Monica to vintage shopping in Silverlake and everything in between. Yes, there is a certain sensibility here but the fashion is authentically Californian. Relaxed denim rules and voluminous maxi dresses get caught in the wind. Sunglasses are as much of a necessary statement as the 1970 bohemian prints inspired by Michelle Phillips and Mama Cass. Here, the easy-going West Coast lifestyle is communicated through personal fashion choices: easy cotton tees, beachy hair, bare feet and the occasional heart-shaped sunglasses. Scroll through to see some of our favorite looks via LA.

Is anyone else feeling inspired by Austin’s look? I love his silver jewelry!

Could she be any cooler? The perfect 70s beach tank, cutoffs and menswear shoes equal perfect.

Tina’s whole boho feel looks so comfortable for these hot summer days. Now I know at 5 foot 1 to knot the bottom of those long dresses and hippie pants that seem to drag. All photo’s are great with essences of different decades.

Tina’s outfit is the perfect go to outfit in the summer- so comfortable but looks stylish at the same time! The yellow dress was also really beautiful xo
