Sofia Richie Grainge dresses for summer the way I wish more people would: few colors, good fabric, and clothes that fit at the shoulder and the hem. Nothing looks forced, and almost nothing is trendy for its own sake. That's why her looks get saved and copied, from the pool at Eden-Roc to an errand run in Los Angeles. I've pulled together 25 of her warm-weather outfits from recent seasons and broken each one down the way I'd explain it to a client, piece by piece, so you can see which part is doing the work and rebuild it from your own closet. Linen sets, swimwear, suiting and a few surprises are all here.
Why Her Plain Clothes Look Expensive
Most of what she wears is simple: white shirts, wide trousers, a black blazer, a swimsuit. When I study her outfits with a client, the expensive look comes from a few repeatable habits, not from the labels.
- Hems are exact. Wide trousers just clear the ground in the shoes she's wearing, and straight jeans stop at the ankle bone. That one alteration changes more than any purchase.
- Shoulders fit. Even her oversized blazers have the shoulder seam close to her own shoulder, so the extra room hangs from the right place.
- The palette is tight. Most looks use two or three colors, with one strong accent at most.
- Hair is part of the outfit. The slicked-back bun gives every casual look a clean finish, and it costs nothing to copy.
Keep those four in mind as you scroll. You'll notice that the outfits which look most expensive are often the cheapest ones to recreate. The designer gowns and resort pieces are fun to look at, but the jeans, shirts and linen sets are where her habits pay off in a normal week.
1. All-White Cable Knit and Wide-Leg Jeans Outfit
In late April 2025 in Los Angeles, Sofia Richie wore white from neck to toe: a light cable-knit sweater, wide straight-leg jeans in optic white, and white Reebok Club C 85 sneakers. The cable stitch is what keeps it from going flat, because all-white needs texture or it reads like a uniform. A wicker basket bag with leather trim warms it up, and black oval sunglasses plus a slicked-back bun give it edges. Check that your two whites match in tone; a cream sweater against bright white denim looks dingy rather than layered.
2. Black Scoop-Neck Tank and Navy Trousers Outfit
On a hot July day in Los Angeles she wore a thin black cotton scoop-neck tank with low-slung navy wide-leg trousers that nearly reached the ground. Black and navy together used to be a rule-breaker, and up close it looks richer than black alone. Green retro Reebok sneakers in teal and pink add a bit of fun, with a structured top-handle bag, thick black sunglasses and her new French bob. The lesson I take from it: a trouser hem that just clears the floor in sneakers makes basic pieces look tailored. Most off-the-rack wide legs need shortening to get that.
3. Zebra-Print Linen Trousers and Striped Bikini Top Outfit
On her 2025 trip to the French Riviera, she swapped the usual sarong for zebra-print wide-leg linen trousers from The Attico. Up top: a striped metallic crochet triangle bikini from Missoni. A sheer floor-length black shirt, left open, caught the wind, and red rubber flip-flops plus a red-and-white striped tote pulled the color through. Two strong prints work here because one is black and white; it acts almost like a neutral. If you try it, keep one print monochrome and let the other carry the color.
4. Monochrome Gingham Co-Ord With Matching Headscarf
In France she wore a black-and-white gingham seersucker set from Hunza G, an oversized button-up shirt with relaxed runner shorts, plus a matching gingham headscarf. It's a modern nod to Brigitte Bardot without trying too hard. Seersucker is a smart summer choice because its puckered weave holds the fabric off the skin, so it stays cooler than flat cotton and hides creases. Accessories were minimal: black sunglasses, fine gold jewelry, rolled sleeves. The scarf is the detail that makes it a look, and it's an inexpensive one to copy.
5. Azure Blue Schiaparelli Halter Gown With Gold Accessories
For a black-tie wedding in Monaco, she chose an azure silk georgette Schiaparelli gown with a halter neck fastened by a sculptural gold clasp, off-the-shoulder draping, an open back and a short train. Black heeled sandals with gold details echoed the clasp, and a gold bone cuff and large earrings repeated the sculptural idea. A small neutral bag kept it from tipping into too much. Georgette is a light, slightly crinkled sheer, so a gown in it moves in the evening air; it also snags easily on jewelry, which is worth remembering if you copy the cuff.
6. Black Linen Sunflower Mini Dress With Gold Jewelry
This one is a black linen mini by Bernadette with cap sleeves, a crew neck and an open back, printed with huge hand-painted sunflowers. A print that big works best on a simple shape, and that's exactly what she chose. She kept everything else small: a fine gold watch, a stack of thin bracelets, little jeweled earrings, black sunglasses and a high ponytail. A crew neck plus an open back is a good combination for hot days, because you get coverage at the front and air at the back.
7. Red One-Piece Swimsuit and Navy Pull-On Trousers
At Eden Roc in Cap d'Antibes she wore a red scoop-neck one-piece with white piping and pulled navy elastic-waist trousers over it. Red and black City sandals from The Row picked up the swimsuit, and a black-and-white geometric bandana on her head was the strongest touch, very Audrey Hepburn on holiday. Oval sunglasses, gold bracelets and a chunky watch finished it. A one-piece under trousers is a smart pool-to-lunch move; just pick a swimsuit with a scoop low enough to read as a top.
8. Chevron Missoni Matching Cardigan and Trouser Set
For an evening, she wore a matching Missoni set in orange and black zigzag, a wide-lapel cardigan and loose trousers, open over a plain black tank. Leather flip-flops kept it relaxed, pink-tinted sunglasses added color, and a raffia bag brought texture. Matching knit sets are the fastest way I know to look put together, but a bold print on both halves means everything else has to be quiet. The black tank is what holds it together.
9. One-Shoulder Rosette Top With Slouchy White Trousers
On her honeymoon she wore a one-shoulder white Magda Butrym blouse covered in large three-dimensional rosettes, with slouchy white wide-leg trousers by Christopher Esber that pooled over flat sandals. A boxy white leather Loro Piana handbag stayed in the same color, and fuchsia wooden flower earrings with a beaded bracelet added the only contrast. One-shoulder tops suit people with defined shoulders and collarbones; if you have a fuller bust, a wider strap gives better support than a thin one. All-white with one bright accessory is the idea to copy.
10. All-White Textured Sweater and Jeans With Wicker Bag
Another Los Angeles white look: a light textured knit, crisp white straight-leg jeans and white Club C 85 sneakers. The wicker handbag with leather trim and black sunglasses gave the contrast, and her hair sat in a polished low bun. I use this exact formula with clients who want all-white but worry it looks bridal. The answer is mixing textures, so knit, denim, leather and wicker each look different even in the same color.
11. Tan Trench Coat Draped Over White Shirt and Maroon Maxi Skirt
At Tommy Hilfiger's New York Fashion Week show she wore an oversized tan double-breasted trench draped on her shoulders, sleeves empty, over a crisp white collared shirt and a maroon maxi skirt. A cream sweater was knotted over her shoulders too. Pointed neutral heels and small gold jewelry finished it. A trench worn like a cape is a good trick for cold air conditioning, but it slips off constantly, so it suits an event where you're mostly standing. The maroon skirt is the clever bit, adding a deep color to an otherwise classic palette.
12. Black Polka-Dot Triangle Bikini With Knit Fringe Cover-Up Skirt
Here she wore a tiny black-and-white polka-dot halter triangle bikini with a black loose-knit fringe skirt over her hips. A blue-and-brown floral bandana held her hair and added the only color. Gold oval sunglasses, small diamond studs and thin bracelets kept it polished. A knit fringe skirt is a better cover-up than a sarong for anyone who hates retying, and it moves nicely, but it holds water and stretches when wet, so wear it after the swim rather than into the sea.
13. Linen Blazer and Matching Trousers With Penny Loafers
Her 12-piece Tommy Hilfiger capsule for Summer 2024 was built around a natural linen suit: an unstructured oversized blazer over a white tank or bralette, and matching wide-leg trousers that brushed the floor. Penny loafers without socks keep it in the American prep tradition. Tortoiseshell sunglasses, a plain leather tote and a little gold finish it. An unlined linen blazer is the only kind I'd suggest for real heat; a fully lined one traps warmth. It's a smart choice for a summer meeting or a coastal weekend.
14. Crochet Midi Dress With Leather Bag and Chic Sunglasses
From the same capsule, the cream crochet midi dress has open work and a slim shape that ends below the calf. She wore it with penny loafers, a structured leather top-handle bag and big sunglasses, hair in a sleek middle part. Crochet always needs a slip or lining unless the stitches are very tight, so check that before buying. It also stretches with wear, and storing it folded rather than hung keeps the length from growing. A garden party or a resort dinner suits it.
15. Sheer Black Floor-Length Shirt and Zebra Pants With Red Flip-Flops
Back at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, this is the full version of the zebra look: wide-leg zebra linen pants, the striped metallic crochet bikini, and the sheer black floor-length shirt flowing open behind her. Red rubber flip-flops from The Row, which sold out fast, gave the color anchor, with a red-and-white striped tote and big black sunglasses. What I like is the sheer black shirt. It adds length and movement without covering anything, and it's a piece most people could copy cheaply in a black voile.
16. White Oxford Shirt and Baggy Denim Jeans Outfit
Her off-duty default, updated through the Tommy capsule: a slightly oversized white Oxford shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbow, loosely tucked into baggy straight-leg blue jeans. Black penny loafers without socks, a plain leather belt, oval sunglasses and a neutral shoulder bag. The slicked-back bun does a lot of the polishing. Oxford cloth is thicker than poplin, so it holds a tuck and doesn't cling in heat. I'd wear it for weekend coffee or a casual Friday.
17. Black Blazer, White Tee, and Straight-Leg Jeans With Slingback Heels
Sofia has said in an interview that this is her favorite go-to outfit: a tailored black single-breasted blazer, a plain white crew-neck tee and straight-leg jeans that end at the ankle. The fit of each piece matters more than anything else here. Her shoe is a black Chanel slingback with a contrast toe cap, which makes the whole thing look expensive. Add a structured black bag, fine gold jewelry and big sunglasses. The jean length is the part people get wrong; an ankle-length straight leg shows the slingback strap, while a longer hem hides it.
18. Cheetah-Print Bikini With Black Sunglasses and Gold Accessories
In mid-July 2025 she posted photos under a beach umbrella in a cheetah-print triangle bikini with adjustable straps. Brown and black animal print is easier to wear than people expect, because the warm tones behave like a neutral. She kept the rest bare: black oversized sunglasses, layered gold bracelets, diamond studs, hair in a loose bun and almost no makeup. If animal print feels risky, a bikini is the lowest-stakes place to try it.
19. Chocolate Brown Monochrome Suit With Tortoiseshell Sunglasses
This look comes from the holiday season during her pregnancy, so it's a winter outfit, but the idea carries into summer. She wore a collarless chocolate brown faux fur coat over a slinky brown top and flowing wide-leg brown pants. Tortoiseshell oval sunglasses, a caramel brown leather shoulder bag and polka-dot pointed pumps added shades of the same color and a bit of play. For warm weather, I'd keep the brown top and wide pants and swap the coat for a brown linen shirt. Tonal dressing like this needs a few different textures, or one color looks flat.
20. Spotted Black-and-Brown Bikini With French Bob and Diamond Studs
In June 2025 she debuted a chin-length French bob and then wore a spotted black, brown and white halter bikini with low-waisted bottoms on the Riviera. Black sunglasses, diamond studs and thin bracelets kept it calm. Her newly cropped blonde bob, blown out with some bounce, framed her face. A shorter cut changes what accessories work: earrings show more, so small studs are better than big hoops that clash with the hair.
21. Striped Drop-Waist Maxi Dress With Cream Trench Coat
From her Sofia for Tommy capsule, a cream-and-navy striped drop-waist maxi skims the body and gives coverage without weight. Drop waists suit straight figures and long torsos best; on a short torso they can make the legs look shorter, so check where the seam lands on you. She layered a light cream calico trench over it for evening or air conditioning, with flat sandals, a leather crossbody and fine gold jewelry. Hair down in soft waves keeps it relaxed.
22. Cream Breton Stripe Sweater With Black Boxer Briefs
In her Spring/Summer 2025 Tommy Hilfiger eyewear campaign she wore a thick cream Breton-stripe sweater with black boxer briefs and white calf socks. It's the no-pants trend, but the classic stripe makes it read preppy rather than provocative. Black oval sunglasses and a little gold jewelry completed it. Honestly, this is campaign styling more than a real outfit; for everyday wear I'd keep the oversized Breton knit and swap the briefs for tailored shorts that sit just below the sweater hem.
23. Red Double-Breasted Blazer and Wide-Leg Trousers Set
The red pantsuit from her Tommy capsule has a boxy double-breasted blazer and matching wide-leg trousers, worn over a plain white tank. Pointed neutral pumps lengthen the leg, and small gold jewelry plus a low bun keep it clean. A red suit in summer has to be in a light weave, cotton or a linen blend, or you'll overheat by noon. Double-breasted jackets add width at the chest, so if you're full-busted I'd wear it open, as she did over the tank. It's a strong choice for a business lunch or a talk you're giving.
24. Gingham Seersucker Shirt and Shorts Matching Set
A second take on gingham seersucker: the shirt unbuttoned at the collar with sleeves rolled just below the elbow, plus matching relaxed shorts. It recalls Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief with a modern feel. Black sunglasses, a fine gold necklace and a woven basket bag finished it. The basket and gingham together could tip into costume, but the plain black sunglasses stop that. It's an easy outfit for a market or a stroll through a coastal town.
25. Black Bodycon Midi Dress With Croc-Embossed Flatform Sandals
To close: a plain black bodycon midi with no details, worn with black croc-embossed flatform sandals that add height without a stiletto. Layered fine gold necklaces, thin bracelets, small hoops and a structured black bag finish it, with hair low and sleek. Bodycon in summer works only in a thick, smooth knit; thin jersey shows every line and gets sticky. A flatform also spreads weight across the whole foot, so you can stand at a rooftop dinner for hours.
Reading the Fabric Label Before the Price Tag
You can copy almost every look here at high-street prices if you shop by fabric and construction instead of by name. These are the checks I run in a fitting room.
- Linen: hold it up to the light. A dense, even weave hangs well and lasts; a thin, open weave goes see-through and loses shape after a few washes.
- White cotton shirts: Oxford cloth and heavier poplin stay crisp. Very thin cotton clings once you're warm.
- Knits: a tight, springy knit keeps its shape. If you can see skin through a stretched sleeve, it will sag by August.
- Blazers for summer: look for unlined or half-lined jackets in cotton or linen blends, and check that the shoulder seam meets your shoulder.
Then budget a little for the tailor. Shortening trousers and taking in a waist are usually modest jobs, and they do more for the quiet, polished look than any logo. Prices vary by area, so ask for a quote before you leave the piece.
What Her Summer Wardrobe Teaches About Buying Less
Look across all 25 and the same habits repeat. She chooses breathable fabrics, linen, cotton and fine knits. She builds on neutrals and then adds one bold print, one strong color or one odd accessory. And her clothes fit: trousers are hemmed, shoulders sit right, jeans hit the ankle. That's why a jeans-and-tee outfit looks expensive on her. You don't need a big closet to copy it, just a small set of well-fitting basics, a couple of swimsuits you love, and shoes and bags chosen with care.
