Introducing a Fashion Editor's Guide to Dressing for 75-Degree Days in Los Angeles

There's a science to dressing for 75-degree days, especially in Los Angeles. I hate to break it to you, but your casual shorts and T-shirt outfit formula just won't cut it. There's a massive outfit spectrum to consider for 75°. Even though it's warm, a slight breeze or cloud coverage can make you chilly, so you'll want a long-sleeve or light layer. But if the forecast calls for a clear, sunny day, that's ideal maxi skirt or dress weather. To help you (and honestly, myself) prepare for the late-spring forecast, I've compiled the perfect outfit mood board to master these days. Ahead, you'll find six outfits to get you through the season in style. From baggy jeans with mesh flats to Bermuda shorts with low heels, there's an outfit for every style. Scroll on to shop my favorite looks.

Bermuda Shorts, Heels, and a Long-Sleeve

If there's one person to look to for L.A. outfit inspiration, it's fashion consultant and former Revolve buyer Sara Walker. This look is one of my favorites. The long-sleeved butter-yellow top looks so comfy, and the long linen shorts are perfect for temperamental weather.

T-Shirt, Barrel Jeans, and Mesh Flats

When I want to look polished in a pinch, a T-shirt and jeans never fail. The barrel jean silhouette is a fun way to spice up this combo, as is swapping regular ballet flats for a fun mesh pair. Baggy jeans and mesh flats will feel comfy whether or not the sun is out.

Sporty Shorts, Button-Up, and Loafers

If you're bored of denim shorts, opt for sporty shorts instead. The light material is so comfortable for all-day wear. Dress the shorts up with a button-up top and loafers. Trust me—it just works.

Heading out on an early dinner date? A maxi skirt will keep you warm even when the sun goes down. Pair it with a basic tank, strappy sandals, and on-trend accessories for personal flair.

Maxi Dress, Sweater, and Flats

On those perfect 75-degree days when there isn't a cloud in the sky, it's time to pull out the maxi dress. Wrap a sweater around your waist or shoulders in case a restaurant or store has the AC blasting—a just-in-case layer will never steer you wrong and acts as a chic styling piece.

All-White and Pointed-Toe Heels

Warm weather calls for an all-white look. White denim is heating up as summer gets closer, and having a pair in your wardrobe is essential. White denim will keep you cool on a sunny day, and I love how it looks when paired with a white top and black accessories.
