Regardless of whether your style aligns more with Gen Z or Millennial trends, you have to check out these 9 must-have summer outfits inspired by it-girls.

      If you were to browse the saved folder of this 26-year-old fashion editor, you'd come across a plethora of stylish outfit inspiration. It features a wealth of vintage, archival pieces (currently, I'm obsessed with the Chanel Ladybug heels) alongside light and airy linen looks ideal for the summer heatwave I'm hoping for; my moodboard is a style haven. While perusing my saves recently, I realized that nearly every post revolves around the ensembles of a Gen Z It-girl.

      Celebrity wardrobes for events are brimming with desirable fashion finds, and although our lives are vastly different (it’s unlikely I’ll be headlining a tour or hosting Saturday Night Live), their off-duty styles feel surprisingly... relatable.

Their styles encompass all the aesthetics we usually embrace in summer, and their knack for merging classic with modern, and avant-garde with simple, earns them the title of 'It girl.' After examining their latest outfits, I found nine fantastic ensembles worth recreating this summer. Continue reading to explore them below.

      ### 9 Gen Z Outfit Ideas for Summer 2026
