Are you someone who lives for chasing wild waves and sunbathing on sandy shores? Or, maybe you dream of bringing that carefree coastal vibe with you everywhere you go? Either way, the surfer girl look is your perfect match. 

This ocean-inspired aesthetic is all about laid-back silhouettes, comfy fabrics, and effortless styling. The outfits share many similarities with the “California Girl” aesthetic and incorporate elements from athleisure and bohemian fashion, as well. Think flowy dresses, chic beachwear, and summer staples, like tank tops and shorts. The versatility of the surfer girl style means there’s something for everyone. 

Let’s explore some outfit ideas and the perfect vegan leather purses to complete the vibe!

1. A Tank & Jeans With A Chill Backpack

Tank tops and jeans are a staple for the chill surfer girls who want to put in minimal effort yet look put together. It’s a practical, stylish, and easy-to-assemble outfit that’ll keep you comfy, whether you’re headed to the beach or catching up with friends for brunch. Complete this surfer girl style with sneakers for that sporty feel and a vegan backpack that can hold your board shorts for a quick wardrobe swap when the tide calls. 

2. A Flowy Dress & Beach-Ready Tote

Nothing says “beach ready” louder than a flowy white maxi dress. It’s lightweight, comfy, and endlessly versatile. You can throw it on as a bikini cover-up after a nice surf sesh, and then head to the beach bar afterward for a refreshing drink. Pair this one-piece champ with every surfer girl’s favorite bag: the trusty vegan tote purse. Look for straw totes with playful accents, like a scarf, for that extra touch of elegance. Don’t forget to add a straw hat, strappy sandals, and some sleek jewelry for the final surfer girl look!

3. Easy-Breezy Paisley With A Woven Sidekick

Paisley prints are the best friend of surfer girls who love romantic, feminine looks. A paisley-print top paired with denim shorts gives off the ultimate relaxed surfer girl style. Swap the denim shorts for pleated cotton shorts, and you’ll instantly elevate the outfit to something more polished. A woven purse from our Woven Wonders collection is perfect for leaning into the boho feel of this outfit while still keeping things practical.

4. An Ocean Blue Dress & Purse

For another breezy look, channel the ocean’s daytime hues with a vibrant blue dress or a blue top and maxi skirt combo. To take it up a notch, pair it with a structured statement bag featuring a bubble-like design and marbled pattern in a complementary or contrasting shade, like ivory or pink. It doesn’t get more surfer girl than this style! Add a knit cardigan for those cooler beachside evenings and slip into a pair of espadrilles to complete this look.

5. Oversized Graphics With A Quilted Bag

Surfer girls love their oversized graphic tees. They’re casual, comfy, and perfect for pairing with many types of bottoms, whether it’s board shorts, leggings, jeans, skirts, or trousers. You can also easily layer them over swimwear. A quilted duffel bag goes perfectly with this laid-back outfit while being incredibly handy for carrying your essentials. Complete this surfer girl style with chunky sneakers or comfy sandals.

6. Casual Denim & A Hands-Free Hero

Denim is a staple year-round, and you’ll find surfer girls looking for excuses to wear denim every chance they get. A classic denim jacket pairs effortlessly with all those beachy and chic city-girl outfits. A belt bag is essential for tying the whole “cool surfer girl” style together because going hands-free is always a great idea. Go with one in a neutral color to complement the denim.

7. Twirl-Ready With A Beaded Beauty

Surfer girls who want to keep things fun and flirty just can’t get enough of sundresses. No matter your vibe, you’ll be inspired to do a little twirl in a playful sundress. An artisanal clutch, such as one adorned with beads, would go perfectly with a mini dress, adding texture, depth, and bohemian charm. You can also go with a woven, crochet-style design from our Vacation Bags collection. Complete the look with tassel earrings, sandals, layered necklaces, and seashell bracelets.

Surfer Girl Style Accessories For the Final Look

Every detail matters when it comes to nailing the surfer girl look. Baseball caps and woven straw hats are universally loved for their utility, but they’re also a surfer girl’s go-to for achieving that casual vibe. Sunglasses, shell-inspired jewelry, and hair accessories are other essentials to have on hand if you want to own this look.

And that’s how you do it! Surfer girl fashion is easy to pull off with the right mix of laid-back clothes, fashion purses, and vegan accessories. Remember that the key to really making this style yours is embracing that carefree attitude and confidence that every wave rider radiates!
