What She'll Need for the Look

Tees, Tanks or Camis

Summer Fashions for GirlsZappos.com
Surfer girls love to wear colors inspired by nature; go with the cool and dreamy hues of the sea, or get wild with some bright floral inspired colors. Choose summery tops like short-sleeved tees, tank tops and camis. Go for solid colored tops or ones decorated with graphic designs that advertise real or imagined beaches, surfer gear or vacation destinations. Alternatively, snap her up a few logo tees from her favorite lifestyle brands such as Roxy Girls, O'Neill Surfer Girl, Billy Girls and more. Layer her tees over a contrasting tank or cami for a more interesting look.

Hoodies and Zippies

When the sea breeze gives her a chill, layer a hoody over her tee. Choose a hoody in a bright color that doesn't match her tee but still looks nice. Go for contrasting colors for a carefree look. In warmer months, get quirky and choose a short-sleeved hoody.
