For stylish basics that are ethically and sustainably made in the US, Los Angeles Apparel is your obvious first choice. We love them for on-trend, high-quality items that look great on just about anyone. Here are some of their coolest picks for summer:
Ponte A-Line Skort: Throw it back to middle school with this mini skort. It’s been updated from your pre-teen version with a high waist, side slits, and a smooth ponte fabric, along with the attached shorts that make the skort such a classic. The five shades range from light to dark neutrals, all of which look great with the coordinating ponte bodysuit. You can also try matching the skort with a crop top or an oversized sweater.
Ponte Long Sleeve Raglan Bodysuit, $45
Ultra Heavy Knit Ribbed Bike Shorts and Halter Top: There’s just so much to love about a perfect top-and-bottom coordinating set. Not only do they look awesome, but they also entirely alleviate the stress of trying to figure out whether the different elements of your outfit actually go together. We’re especially into this bike short and halter top set, both made of a super heavy and incredibly stretchy ribbed knit that gives off retro sweater vibes. The high-waisted shorts go perfectly with the cropped halter, which has ties behind the neck for easy sizing.

UPF 50 Visor: Stylish and functional, this wide-brimmed visor will keep you cool and shaded all summer long. The tight weave of the fibers is UPF 50, providing strong protection against harmful ultraviolet rays. The visor is perfect for a hike, picnic, beach, or any other outdoor sun-soaked activity. Plus, it won’t mess up your cute high ponytail! Get it in a solid hue or a colorblocked or heathered pattern… or maybe all three.
Garment Dye Bra Tank Biketard: Forget jean shorts and a t-shirt this summer and go for a biketard! This one, made of thick cotton compression spandex, is surprisingly flattering. The chest has cups and darts, which along with the thick straps should keep you comfortable and supported. We love how the longer shorts balance out the plunging neckline and deep scoop back. No matter which of the nine colors you choose, it’ll look great with thick white socks and chunky dad sneakers.

Cotton Fishnet Garment Dye Crop Top: We love the swingy, oversized look of this mesh mock neck crop top. It’s super light and breathable – perfect for the very hottest days of summer. It comes in five colors (brights and neutrals), and each hue is also available in the matching fishnet shorts. Wear them as a monochromatic set, or pair the top with a swimsuit, bodysuit, or biker shorts.
