The Y2K Trends Summer Roberts Made Cool on The O.C. Are Back

When it comes to Y2K fashion inspiration, there's one early aughts 'it' girl that we can't overlook, and that's Summer Roberts from the hit television series The O.C.
Before TikTok made early 2000s fashion cool again, Summer was already giving us low-rise denim, tiny shoulder bags, colorful bandanas and fun going-out tops. Today, you can recreate Summer Robert's California cool vibe with these Y2K-inspired pieces from Amazon.
While Summer Roberts loved a going out top and low-rise bootcut jeans, it's her dress collection that really stands out.
To channel her flirty energy, opt for a halter mini dress (bonus points if it has a cheetah print or hibiscus pattern). Pair it with strappy platform metallic sandals and a shoulder bag. Add a pair of sunnies and a few butterfly clips to your hair and the look is complete.
