If Dakota Johnson Is Your Style Muse, Here's Your 11-Item Late-Summer Shopping List

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.
