Outfits Inspired by Nostalgic Summer Movies
There’s no better way to find inspiration for summer outfits than by rewatching your favorite summer movies. Not only do these feel-good films have a charming plot or a lovable romantic interest, they also tend to feature fashionable characters that just set the vibe for summer. From analyzing a protagonist's personal aesthetic to breaking down the movie’s overall style, here are a couple movies that will hopefully influence your own summer wardrobe.
Mamma Mia
Mamma Mia is a classic summer movie with its stunning location and iconic ABBA soundtrack. This movie is popularly known for its 70’s themed outfits, including denim and boho chic pieces. There are a lot of fun funky patterns from Donna and the Dynamos, and loose fitted pieces like skirts or dresses from Sophie. For casual outfits inspired by Mamma Mia, pick pieces in blue and white to match the beautiful scenery, and opt for details like embroidery and frills.. To fit the disco theme, go for low waisted flare jeans and tops with sequins or glitter.
The parent trap
The Parent Trap has the perfect mix between chic, preppy outfits from Annie and a 90’s California style from Hallie. Throughout the movie, the twins often have a cohesive color scheme throughout their outfits, and they accessorize with sunglasses or headbands. Other characters, like Elizabeth James and Meredith Blake, wear sophisticated looks that typically include simple yet elegant dresses. We would recommend sticking to color combinations, like yellow and white, to help guide your outfit when picking your pieces, and of course accessorize with your own personal touch.
the sisterhood of the traveling pants
There are a variety of styles from the four different characters in The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, from sporty and athletic outfits to girly feminine ones. Even with their unique taste in clothes, all of the girls gravitate towards colors like blue, pink, and green. Even Tibby, who typically wears black, adds a pop of red in her outfits. Spice up your closet and curate your own style for this summer by finding unique, vintage pieces. You’ll obviously need a staple pair of jeans for your summer outfits, and there are so many fashionable ones with little details on the pockets or the waistband. When finding the perfect pair of jeans we would suggest a low-rise fit inspired from the movie and recent trends!
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is an underrated but enjoyable beach movie to watch this summer. There’s nothing more iconic than Aquamarine’s turquoise dress and the different ways she experiments with the neckline, going from halter to strapless. This early 2000s movie has a lot of girly inspiration with dresses, swim suits, and babydoll tops from the main characters and even the antagonist. The film includes a lot of beachy, Y2K style, so try experimenting with layered cami tops or jewelry, and find a two-piece swim suit with fun patterns. And of course, add some big sunglasses or hair accessories to nail the early 2000s vibe.
