The Netflix drama series “Outer Banks” does not disappoint when it comes to fashion. The clothing symbolizes a lifestyle that many young people try to imitate.
Even if you can’t spend the summer looking for riches all over the island, you can certainly look as relaxed as the OBX characters. Follow these tips to look like you’ve stepped straight out of paradise:
1. Beach-inspired accessories are essential to the pogue look. With lots of layered beaded necklaces and bracelets, shell and crystal charms and bandanas, you’ll fit right in with the island locals.
2. Patterned button-down shirts for layering are also a must. Lightweight and breezy Hawaiian shirts can be easily thrown over a swimsuit. Summer prints and bright colors are a perfect addition when worn on top of a basic white tee.
3. High-waisted denim shorts contribute to a laidback aesthetic. They are ideally paired with a crop top and a button-down.
4. Flowy trousers are light and breathable. You may not be treasure hunting like the pogues, but staying comfortable is crucial. By pairing these trousers with a simple, solid-color tank top, you will achieve an easy-breezy appearance.
Keep in mind that casual is what makes the pogue style differ from the wealthy kooks. Where a typical kook outfit includes khakis and dress shirts, pogues are all about spontaneity and living in the moment, so don’t be afraid to get creative, especially since pogues enjoy being unconventional. Whether you are in New Jersey or North Carolina, let your style shine, embrace the summer waves and don’t forget to pack your sunscreen!
