Hold the Tees—This Low-Key Summer Trend is Being Worn by It Girls in L.A. with Shorts Instead.
With June just around the corner, thinking about sweaters is probably not high on your priority list. However, that’s exactly what fashion-savvy individuals are currently searching for. I’m not talking about the heavy wool and cashmere sweaters we use all winter, but rather a sweater trend recently sported by one of L.A.’s stylish figures, Elsa Hosk, paired with shorts.
Hosk isn't the only one embracing this effortlessly chic style. Light, open-weave sweaters typically crafted from cotton or linen are currently the must-have basic piece to wear with shorts. This combination is particularly suitable for the upcoming “June gloom” weather in Los Angeles and serves as an elegant alternative to a simple T-shirt. It makes perfect sense that the always-fashionable Hosk would choose to wear a lightweight summer sweater along with white bermuda shorts and flip-flops. This outfit is essentially the epitome of summer 2026 style for a chic L.A. girl, but it’s versatile enough for anyone, regardless of location (June gloom or otherwise).
