All Olsen twin-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 officially here, there’s no better time to dive into our Olsen twin-style archive for effortless warm-weather outfit inspiration.

As we set aside our transitional pieces, we’re asking ourselves, “How would the Olsen twins prepare for summer?” They would let proportion do the talking, with oversized cotton poplin blouses, languid trousers, and flouncy skirts. Instead of wearing a going-out blouse for the evening, they’d opt for a lightweight T-shirt and a silky maxi skirt. Instead of sneakers, they’d both pull out an unexpected pair of crochet ballet flats or woven sandals that embody the essence of the season. The key? Start with the basics and build from there.
Ahead, the Olsen summer wardrobe starter pack featuring the pieces you’ll wear through the season, and after.
The Ugly-Chic Sandal of the Season
If you think the flip-flop is divisive, wait until you see one of Mary-Kate s favorite summer sandals—the Teva. This platform strappy sandal is more functional than it is fashionable, but that’s what makes the Olsen twins’ wardrobe so intriguing.

The Cool-Girl Summer Essentials
Tank tops and white cotton poplin skirts are a given come summer, but the Olsens prefer a more covered-up approach that’s just as effortless. Instead, look to structured button-up tops, a cigarette-style or skinny jean, and flats and sandals that can be worn beyond August.

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 linen trousers and pleated skirts, plus easy, strappy sandals.

The Ladylike Accessories
The Olsen twin’s style leans minimalist, but their accessories scream, “I’m a lady!” In their wardrobes, you’ll find sleek ballet flats, ladylike top-handle bags, golden bangles, and gold collar necklaces—often spotted atop loose-fitting midi dresses.
The Silk Maxi Skirt + V-Neck Sweater
Evening wear can be tricky; most people don’t have enough space in their apartments to store an entire separate arsenal of after-hours clothing, like formal gowns and clutches. Ashley Olsen knows how to streamline an event dress code. Mix daily essentials, like a V-neck sweater, with a long, silky skirt. All you have to do is add a handbag.

The 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 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.
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.
