As the credits of the fun flick roll, every adolescent girl in the theater has probably forgotten of Hollywood’s scantily clad, booty shakin’, sequin wearing starlet and traded up their sights for Deschanel’s indie harm. Because donning sleeves, knee length-skins, and vintage-inspired pieces are sexy too, especially when they’re merely accessories to a carefree spirit.

Deschanel’s choices of garb are more often than not, quite unique compared to her contemporaries, preferring modest silhouettes and hemlines and rarely wearing tons of accessories. She keeps things simple, going for the underdressed rather than the overdressed style school of thought. At the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Deschanel wore a short sequined mini dress, but kept her hair down and finished the look with gray peep-toes and a simple silver clutch, which showcased her casual persona.

While she favors feminine pieces, which are slightly reminiscent of 1950’s fashion, her character Summer Finn leans towards vintage, basic pieces, mixed and matched for an array of looks. Rather than having a closet full of clothes, Finn’s style is maximizing what’s on hand. Dig up A-line skirts and button downs in neutrals or basic colors like navy, and match them with a simple pair of ballet! or low-heeled peep-toe wed.
