I’ve Tracked Down the Pieces for Every Outfit in The Summer I Turned Pretty

By Swedan Margen

I’ve Tracked Down the Pieces for Every Outfit in The Summer I Turned Pretty

Whether you’re firmly Team Conrad or loyally Team Jeremiah, there’s one thing fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty can all agree on: Belly Conklin’s wardrobe is the real star of the show this season. As the hit Amazon Prime series returns with more heartbreak, drama, and longing glances, the series also delivers a wardrobe update for Belly—less girl-next-door, more effortlessly put-together.

Belly’s looks this season feel more intentional than in seasons past, but still effortlessly cool—never try-hard. Think oversized denim jackets, slouchy jeans, and breezy Reformation dresses, all grounded by a hint of preppy polish in the form of classic loafers and collared knits. Costume designer Jessica Flaherty has built a wardrobe that feels lived-in yet aspirational—a curated mix of coastal Americana and Gen Z ease. Standout moments include a baby tee and jeans combo that channels '90s Kate Moss energy, while sundresses and heart-shaped accessories nod to a more playful, youthful side of her style.

Of course, the magic lies in the details: a pair of worn-in Supergas, red cat-eye sunglasses with vintage flair, and that now-iconic infinity necklace—subtle but weighted with meaning. Whether she’s navigating messy love triangles or quietly redefining who she is, Belly’s wardrobe does exactly what fashion should—it tells a story without saying a word.

While many of Belly’s exact outfits are currently out of stock, I’ve tracked down the chicest looks from The Summer I Turned Pretty—along with the best high-street alternatives you can shop right now.
