I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that Dakota Johnson is having a very chic summer. Every time she's stepped outside this year, her outfits have been covered across the internet. Her style is so closely followed because she wears outfits that are cool and trend-forward but not necessarily inaccessible. She puts together outfits that you probably already have most of the elements of in your own closet.
As we slide into August and summer starts to wind down, I've been searching for end-of-summer outfit inspiration that'll see me through to fall. Johnson has effortlessly perfected the vibe I'm going for time and again this summer, and because of this, I made a late-summer shopping list inspired by her recent looks given that I'm not the only fan of her style.
In case you don't already own the makings of a Dakota Johnson late-summer wardrobe, scroll on to shop the 11 pieces that'll provide the backbone of said wardrobe, each of which you'll wear over and over for the remainder of summer and even into early fall.
Red accents have proven popular in 2024, but Johnson's low-key red-pant outfit really made me want to go out and buy a pair.

A cardigan is the ideal transitional item to take you from summer to fall, and kitten heels are Johnson's heel style of choice as of late.

There are plenty of skirt trends orbiting this season, but the eternally popular slip skirts with their minimalist qualities suit Johnson best.

Johnson wears jeans a lot, which is one of the reasons it's somewhat easy to emulate her style. For the most summer-friendly jeans outfit, follow her lead and opt for a pair in a light wash.

To enhance her summer outfits, Johnson has been relying on trendy metal-frame sunglasses, while her flat shoe style of choice has been elegant slingback flats.
On Johnson: Loulou Studio Espanto Shirt ($202) and skirt; Loewe Flamenco Leather Shoulder Bag ($3550); The Row shoes; Gucci Rectangle Frame Sunglasses ($435)

The end of summer is typically the hottest part, so you may want to stock up on things like cropped tank tops now. And as far as denim goes, follow Johnson's lead and opt for wide-leg jeans that allow for some airflow on sweltering days.
On Johnson: Triarchy Ms. Onassis High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans ($298); Gucci Rectangle Frame Sunglasses ($435)
Shop Cropped Tank Tops

Johnson primarily wears retro sneakers such as Nike Cortez and Adidas Sambas and Gazelles, as she clearly likes to be comfortable but also look cool. Additionally, a baseball cap tops many of her off-duty looks.
On Johnson: Hermès jacket; New Era hat; Nike Cortez Sneakers ($90)
Shop Baseball Caps
