If there’s one character from HBO’s Girls whose closet deserves its own spinoff, it’s Jessa Johansson. Played with breezy, don’t-care confidence, Jessa’s style was about instinct. Fluid fabrics, clashing florals, oversized layers, and jewelry piled on like she just raided a vintage market: that’s the Jessa formula ✨ and it still holds up years later.
We rounded up some of her most memorable looks, broke down what makes each one work, and found pieces that’ll help you recreate the vibe!
1. The Beachy Cover-Up
A floral kimono in soft grey with pink and red roses, cinched at the waist and worn open over a bright turquoise bodysuit, is peak Jessa: unbothered and a little glamorous at the same time. The messy top-knot and fringe earrings finish the look without trying too hard.
Wear it to: a beach day, weekend brunch, or as a swimsuit cover-up that doubles as a real outfit.
Get the look: floral kimono robes, fringe drop earrings, a wooden statement ring.
Squareneck Bodysuit
A cult classic for a reason. This is a squareneck sleeveless bodysuit with a thong-cut bottom and double-layer fabric for a supportive, body-shaping fit. It’s made with Aritzia’s Original Contour — luxe, ultra-flattering fabric coveted for its smoothing effect and second-skin feel. Nothing more essential.
Gold Fringe Earrings
Hit the town or stay in and have a dance party with these lightweight gold sparklers. Graduated layers of sleek gold chain create this wearable fringe.
2. The Off-Duty Workwear Look
Wide-leg denim overalls over a ribbed olive turtleneck is a masterclass in “I woke up like this” dressing that’s actually pretty deliberate. A side braid and pastel suede mules soften the utilitarian shape, while a slouchy brown crossbody keeps things grounded.
Wear it to: a casual office day, fall errands, or a coffee-shop work session where you still want to look put together.
Get the look: wide-leg denim overalls, ribbed turtlenecks, suede mules.
Dark Blue Jumpsuit
Our square-neck linen jumpsuit from our best-selling European linen collection couldn’t be simpler with adjustable shoulder straps and self-tie belt for a perfect fit.
Green Turtleneck Sweater
This Jevin classic turtleneck sweater for women combines a timeless design with versatile wear options. The simple lines and high collar give the sweater an elegant shape that’s easy to combine.
Blue Suede Clog
A perforated, whipstitched suede upper is attached to a woodgrain platform with antiqued studs for authentic retro flair. Extra padding cushions the insole for maximum comfort, while the lightweight rubber tread provides grip.
3. The Festival-Ready Bohemian Dress
This bohemian black floral midi dress is where Jessa’s boho side gets a little more daring. Layered over a slip, paired with stacked statement rings and grey platform T-strap heels, it’s proof that sheer fabric can feel romantic instead of risky when the styling is right.
Wear it to: a festival, garden party, or casual evening event where you want a little drama.
Get the look: sheer floral midi dresses, stacked cocktail rings, platform T-strap sandals.

5. The Wedding Guest Black Bohemian Style
A black maxi dress with a keyhole neckline and short sleeves shows Jessa can do elegant without losing her signature looseness. Hoop earrings, a half-up braid, and colorful strappy heels keep the look from feeling too formal or expected.
Wear it to: a wedding, a nice dinner out, or any event that calls for “elevated” without “stiff.”
Get the look: keyhole-neck maxi dresses, gold hoop earrings, multicolor strappy heels.

Chunky platform sandals in tan leather with interwoven multicolor straps (red, teal, and white) — a playful boho accent that pairs beautifully with an all-black look.
6. The Romantic Garden Party Dress
A sage green one-shoulder dress with an asymmetric, ruffled hem is soft, a little undone, and completely her. Paired with a black crossbody and wedge sandals, it’s summer dressing that feels lived-in rather than styled.
Wear it to: a summer date night, outdoor party, or golden-hour dinner on a patio.
Get the look: one-shoulder asymmetric dresses, wedge sandals, small crossbody bags.

Bohemian Girls: How to Get the Jessa Look, in 3 Rules
- Mix prints fearlessly. Florals, stripes, and textures can coexist — the key is committing, not matching.
- Layer for texture, not just warmth. Kimonos, cardigans, and robes worn open add movement and dimension to even a simple outfit.
- Let jewelry do the talking. Statement rings, hoops, and layered necklaces are what turn a basic look into a Jessa one.
