Hot girl summer is here, and celebrities around the world are serving up their best warm weather looks for us to emulate. Fresh off TikTok: the ‘downtown girl’ trend, which puts a retro spin on modern streetwear. Fans of this trend include sartorially forward personalities such as Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and Blackpink’s Jisoo Kim. And on that note, wraparound sunglasses, à la Paris Hilton in The Simple Life, are back on the style radar too, courtesy of stars such as Mia Regan, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian as well as brands such as Balenciaga, Gucci, Dior and Versace.
As for the hottest colours to wear this season? Rosalía and Shay Mitchell are sporting sheer dresses in vibrant shades of green and orange with statement-making jewellery and shoes, while Red Velvet’s Kang Seulgi and actress Jung Hoyeon are vouching for soft brown co-ords paired with contrasting tops.
For those who prefer to stay cosy, take style cues from Camille Charriere, Julia Fox and Nicola Peltz and opt for distressed leather jackets to elevate and add a hint of edge to a basic ensemble.
