It’s time to start looking west for style inspiration: more specifically, California. We are taking a deep dive into surf culture (see what we did there?). With everything from tie-dye clothing to woven bags to shell jewelry on offer, it’s going to be tough to avoid adding a little California fashion to your closet this season. No matter where you’re from, the effortlessly cool, chill vibe of surfer-girl style is hard to resist: Heck, we’re feeling more laid-back just talking about it. Dude.

Shop the Look: Set for Vacay Blue Multi Tie-Dye Bandeau Bikini Top, Set for Vacay Blue Multi Tie-Dye High Waisted Bikini Bottoms, Addison White Slide Sandals, In the Clear Square Mirrored Sunglasses, Summer Ready Natural Straw Cowboy Hat, (similar) Love Me for Me Pink Oversized Hair Clip

You don’t have to be a beach bum–or even live near a coast–to get in on the California fashion trend, either: The current iteration of this look goes way beyond the wetsuit. Channel your inner Golden (State) girl with breezy pieces like lightweight woven dresses and skirts in soft, sun-faded hues. Or incorporate a touch of the vibe by swapping your plain white sneakers for a pair with summery stripe detail. Even adding subtle extras like a cowrie shell necklace or macrame tote instantly gives your look the Cali treatment.
