71 Fashion Staples That Scream Ultimate Americana Summer In An Effortless, Feminine Way
Didn’t you hear? The “European Summer” aesthetic is out, and Americana is so, so in.
The girlies are sick of watching their favorite celebrities and influencers gallivant around Europe for months at a time while they’re stuck at home working their 9-to-5 jobs. How in the world is everyone and their mother affording plane tickets to Italy and France, anyway?
This summer, instead of feeling major FOMO and larping as French girls at our suburban farmers’ markets, we’re taking control and shifting the narrative. This summer, we’re bringing back American pride in a major way and leaning on our nostalgia for all our best memories as kids growing up in the USA. This means embracing the iconic summer snacks we looked forward to at every backyard barbecue, singing “God Bless the USA” at the top of our lungs while driving down a dirt road, and leaping from the side of a boat without a care in the world for how freezing the water below may be.
Now, embodying the ultimate Americana aesthetic does not mean you have to wear cheesy and vibrant red, white, and blue t-shirts or rep a Coors Lite branded trucker hat. There’s a way to lean into American pride without looking like a walking meme this summer. We’re talking about the ‘90s Ralph Lauren Americana aesthetic. The one that looks effortlessly feminine, timeless, and Western without taking things too far. That’s what we’re focusing on today. Let’s get into the 71 fashion staples we’re loving that scream ultimate Americana summer!
