Jennifer Lawrence’s Summer-in-the-City Style Is Fail Proof–Steal Her Looks, Here (2024)

Keeping this modern way of dressing in mind, we compiled a guide to the best-of-summer looks Lawrence has been sporting as of late. These easy outfit formulas bring the serious cool factor while being extremely easy to pull off. Keep reading below to find that extra dose of style inspiration we all need to get us through these last few weeks of summer and into Labor Day weekend.

Blue Jean Baby

Lawrence knows the importance of good denim. Her go-to is a slouchy, boyfriend silhouette, which in the perfect medium shade of blue, happens to be the best jean for summer. It’s loose, it’s light, and it can be worn endlessly with a white T-shirt, mesh flat, and woven handbag. Grab a cotton shirt jacket in butter yellow, for a lightweight extra layer that will dress your jeans up for the office, or save you from the chills of too much air conditioning.

Pajama Party

What is breezier than a pajama-inspired set on a hot day? We recommend grabbing a roomy button-down and boxer-style shorts in bright white stat to help beat the heat on those sweltering days that the last month of summer always brings. Lawrence proves that with a few sporty accessories, such as New Balance Dad sneakers, Gen Z-approved crew socks, and a perfectly worn-in ball cap, this look is ready to hit the streets.

Borrowed From the Boys

There is no denying that a button-down in crisp, blue poplin is a wardrobe hero. Lawrence’s go-to pick is drool-worthy, in our opinion, thanks to its perfectly oversized fit (a pro styling tip from us: always roll up the sleeves). When paired with slouchy denim, a classic, canvas sneaker from Vans, and tortoise sunnies, this outfit reads California cool meets New York business.

Oversized and Understated

Try an unexpected mix of colors and textures for an easy day option that is fail proof. Start with an oversized button down (a wardrobe staple for Lawrence) in a fresh khaki color. Layer over silky and slouchy satin pants. Add a fashion-forward shoe, like these slip-on sneakers, and a splash of color with a tomato red bag and Hydro Flask, and voilà. Your next grocery run or weekend farmers’ market jaunt just got a whole lot chicer.

Cotton Classics

You can never go wrong with the classics. A white button-down top and coordinating cotton pants are exactly what a traditional summer closet is built upon. However, Lawrence makes this more street-friendly and less Hamptons Classic, with colorful accessories that pop. A Polo Ralph Lauren ball cap and jelly flats give this look a quirkier twist—and her mainstay St. Agni handbag and oversized black shades add a bit of downtown flair.

Moving and Grooving

Although she generally keeps it classic and clean, Lawrence isn’t afraid to have a little fun with her wardrobe, either. Take this groovy ensemble, for example. A vintage T-shirt goes from Woodstock groupie to the NYC streets when paired with a red slip skirt, studded statement flats, and a slouchy, hobo-inspired bag. For us, the real cherry on the top is the Phoebe Philo Score sunglasses—it’s all about the accessories in the end, after all, isn’t it?
