All Olsen twins style fans know that, although the girls are often seen draped and swaddled beneath luxurious winter garb, they also know how to inspire us for warmer weather, too. Just like with their cold-weather ensembles, their medley of scarce and candid paparazzi shots are stored, saved, and venerated to curate a well-rounded wardrobe. Not only do they show us the items we want to buy, but they also demonstrate to us how a strong sense of self can further amplify your personal style. Think of silhouettes, accessories, layering techniques, and textures that make you feel the most you. With summer almost here, there’s no better time to dive into our Olsen twin archive for effortless warm-weather outfit inspiration.

As we start to look for our warm-weather pieces, we’re asking ourselves, “How would the Olsen twins prepare for the season?” They would let proportion do the talking, with oversized cotton poplin blouses, languid trousers, and flouncy skirts. In addition to laid-back flops, they might also pull out an unexpected pair of crochet ballet flats or beaded sandals that embody the essence of the season. The key? Start with the basics and build from there.

Ahead, the Olsen twins guide to summer.

The Flip Flop + Mary Poppins Carryall

Always on the go, you’ll rarely see Ashley Olsen without an oversized carryall large enough to fit the daily essentials—and then some. Rather than play it safe with just any black leather tote, choose a version that speaks to your personality: a brown bowling bag style, a bold textural croc, or a polished ladylike silhouette. Juxtaposed by the big-big bag’s carryall, you’ll often find them in a classic flip-flop. You’ll be prepared for whatever the day might bring, from design meetings to a quick coffee break.

The Oversized Weekend Look

When it comes to warm-weather dressing, it’s rare to see the Olsen twins in a top other than a cotton poplin blouse. The larger-than-life silhouette looks good with so many pairings, like wide-leg trousers and pleated skirts, plus easy, strappy sandals.

The Crochet Flat

The see-through, barely-there ballet flat first took flight in early 2024, but it was The Row that initially pushed them into the spotlight in 2019. For Ashley Olsen, it’s all about the boho crochet flat—a top-trending shoe style for the season.

All-White Summer Essentials

Wearing white during the warmer months just makes sense—it’s the perfect blank canvas for accessorizing—and the styling options are virtually endless if you choose your go-tos wisely. Whether it’s a pair of wide-leg pants from Favorite Daughter or a pared-back sandal from Jil Sander, these Olsen-coded picks will enhance any rotation.

The Utility Necklace

Mary-Kate shows how jewelry can be both functional (literally, as a lanyard) and an expression of personal style. Spotted across the spring/summer runways this season, today’s most coveted accents are rooted in utility—from key holders to leather eyeglass pouches.

The Cool-Girl Uniform

Warmer weather invites lighter fabrics and unfussy silhouettes, and the Olsens answer that need with pieces that match their effortless approach to of style: relaxed button-ups, cigarette jeans, and easy leather ballet flats that can be worn year-round.

The Bohemian Jacket & Top

In classic Olsen fashion, take an everyday essential and give it an unexpected twist. A lightweight coat will always be a reliable staple for transitional weather—follow their lead and choose one with a statement pattern to make it the focal point of your look. As it gets warmer, opt for the boho blouse.

The Statement Sunnies

Whether they are shielding sensitive eyes from the sunlight, or prefer to not be perceived by the public, statement sunglasses are a must-have for both sisters. Find unique styles from Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent, or more classic shapes from Ray-Ban, Khaite, and Celine.
