As avid fans of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” here at Popsugar, we can proudly say that we have been a part of this fandom long before its recent rise in popularity. And can you blame us? The show’s love triangle is so captivating and relatable, despite being completely fictional. We are constantly on the edge of our seats, eagerly awaiting the latest drama every Wednesday. But amidst all the excitement and intrigue, there is something else that has caught our attention – the fashion.
Belly Conklin, played by the talented Lola Tung, is at the center of this love triangle, entangled with two brothers – Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney). It’s a classic, messy love story that keeps us hooked. And as a young woman with a constantly evolving emotional identity, Belly’s fashion sense is just as dynamic. Her style is a perfect blend of appropriateness, classicism, and effortlessness.
We can’t help but notice Belly’s wardrobe staples that are both versatile and chic. From flirty, printed dresses from Reformation for her daily escapades, to Levi’s jeans for wedding dress shopping, and even her Victoria Beckham bridal gown that is surprisingly affordable at only $1,250. Talk about breaking the bridal ensemble splurge stereotype.
But it’s not just Belly’s style that impresses us. Other characters like Taylor Jewel also showcase noteworthy fashion that reflects the essence of the show’s magical setting – Cousins Beach. Inspired by East Coast beach towns like Martha’s Vineyard and The Hamptons, the aesthetic is timely and achievable. So if you’re looking to recreate the summer vibes of this show, we’ve got you covered.
