Look up the phrase "summer wardrobe goals" in the dictionary, and you just might see a photo of Kiara Carrera from Outer Banks smiling back at you. The queen of surfer-girl style, Kiara (portrayed by actress Madison Bailey) is basically a walking PacSun ad, rocking an array of graphic tees, patterned bikinis, crop tops, and cutoff denim shorts during the treasure-hunting adventures she embarks on with her Pogue pals. Plus, she always remembers to kick her laid-back, beachy outfits up a notch by accessorising with her signature beaded choker necklaces.
Much like her BFF-turned-arch-nemesis-turned-friend-again Sarah Cameron, Kiara's clothes are relatively affordable in real life, hailing from retailers like Urban Outfitters, Target, Billabong, and O'Neill. In honour of Kiara's easy-breezy style — well, and because I needed something to cure my Outer Banks withdrawals until season two hopefully rolls around — I tracked down where to shop some of the exact pieces her character wears in the Netflix teen drama. Get the full scoop on her summer-ready wardrobe ahead.

In the very first episode, Kiara gives us the perfect preview of her effortless style by pairing this grey-and-white tie-dye shirt with lace-up shorts by Billabong — the latter of which are currently still in stock.

Kiara's Necklaces on Outer Banks
Kiara is the queen of stacking necklaces. Throughout the series, she consistently wears two beaded chokers and occasionally adds a longer stone pendant necklace for an extra cool-girl touch. The show's costume designer, Emmie Holmes, revealed that the chokers were designed by a brand called Elsie Frieda, and you can shop 'em both ahead.
