The coastal aesthetic has been top of mind this summer, but the truth is it's been around longer than a season. It's a classic look made up of core basics that continuously outlast buzzier trends with shorter shelf lives, and West Coasters have been nailing it for years. For example, remember when we all dressed like checkerboards a few years back? Coastal Californians would never. Instead, they always opt for these core pieces: loads of denim, high-quality basics, and throw-on-and-go dresses that instantly create a polished look. Chances are these priority items all come from AG, a California heritage brand that's setting the standard for sustainable, high-quality wardrobe staples. So if you're into this coastal vibe, keep scrolling for the 16 pieces that will last longer than just one trend cycle.
