Let’s get into it.
This Comfy Campus Look
Let’s kick things off with a fan favorite: the oversized Beta Sigma Nu Crest hoodie. It screams college casual and likely belongs to Jeremiah, making it even cuter. If you’re into stealing your boyfriend’s hoodie look (guilty!), this one’s available on Amazon and looks just as good styled with black biker shorts and white sneakers.
But the real scene-stealer here? Belly’s cherry red cat eye sunglasses. Retro, bold, and totally unexpected. It’s the accessory that says, “Yeah, I just rolled out of bed, but make it fashion.”
How to style it:
This Timeless Back-to-School Style
Flashbacks in this season bring us a look straight from Belly’s school year. It’s classic and easy to recreate—a simple black mini skirt, oversized denim jacket, loafers, and the cutest ruffled socks that bring the whole vibe together.
You probably already own most of this outfit, but if not, we’ve linked affordable finds. It’s like Clueless, but make it 2025.
Key items:
This Sporty Athleisure ‘Fit
Heartbreak never looked so good. Seriously, Belly gives us a post-cry-sesh look that somehow… works? Think cozy sweatpants, a sleek satin varsity jacket, and a leather backpack from the Coach x The Summer I Turned Pretty collab.
Not ready to rock your pajamas outdoors? Swap the sweats for jeans or a mini, and keep the bomber for flair.
Essentials:
This Flirty Floral Number
One word: dreamy. Belly stuns in a blue-and-white floral dress perfect for coastal parties or summer brunch. She wore it to a frat party (because of course), but honestly? We’re bookmarking this look for any warm-weather occasion.
While her exact Reformation dress is almost sold out, we’ve tracked down similar grandmillennial-style dresses that deliver the same romantic vibe.
What you need:
These Frilly PJs
Now onto something a bit cozier: the red frilly pajama set Belly wears during that unforgettable Christmas scene with Conrad (you know the one). The original Dôen set is out of stock, but we’ve found cottagecore-inspired alternatives that give the same soft and romantic feel.
There’s even a tank-and-shorts version for summer nights.
Pajama essentials:
This Casual Collegiate Look
Running to class never looked so good. Belly’s Finch College Pullover Hoodie is available on Amazon, and she pairs it with Levi’s 501 jorts yep, jorts are back—and orange Salomon sneakers with (again!) her go-to white ruffle socks.
This outfit screams fall semester energy.
Get the look:
This Sophisticated Outfit
We love seeing Belly’s style evolve, and this sophisticated Staud sweater moment is proof. Though the exact piece is sold out, we found a blue collared knit from Reformation that delivers the same energy.
She completes the look with Rolla’s white sailor jeans, high-waisted with a wide leg that adds length and class.
The vibe:
This Dreamy Blue Number
Ah, the dress from the garden dedication scene. Belly looked ethereal in a Zimmermann ruched mini that’s now off the market. But don’t worry—we found some magical flowy blue dresses that channel the same “something blue” mood.
Complete the look with:
Belly’s Jewelry Game
