How to Dress Like Iconic Summer Movie Characters

It's hot as hell outside, and it's tough to look cool when your sweating crazy and you've got that essence of ball-funk following you everywhere. So it makes you wonder, "how the fuck did those stylish movie stars keep it cool during those summer sets?" Stagehands to fan them at every beckoning call, for one. But when dressing for their role, they dressed for the weather (and location) and did it well.

Some of our favorite movies are set in the summer. Different eras. Different climates. Same seasonally dope garb. And you can take advantage of these outfits by putting them together with some of today's best brands. Take a stroll down summer movie memory lane and check out The Best Summer Movie Outfits You Can Wear Right Now.

Who knew the head counselor from Hell could have some bright, quirky style? Carelessly leading a bunch of dysfunctional camp-goers isn't enough to keep Tripper Harrison from being festive with the Hawaiian shirt. He may have made everything think "it just doesn't matter," but we know that airy summer attire does.

Gitman Vintage Animal Aloha, $180
J. Crew 7" Stanton Shorts, $65
Adidas Tennis Court Top OG, $105

You can't expect to talk about Do The Right Thing (one of the most stylish movies to grace the big screen) without mentioning the lovable, music-blasting Radio Raheem. Graphic tees, high tops and a ghetto blaster always made him the center of attention. Bet you ain't notice the camo shorts. Crazy to see them rocked like that back in 1989, right?

Rocksmith Leaders Tee, $28
Left Field NYC Japanese Cam Angus Shorts, $114
Dipset Socks, $150
Vans OG Sk8-Hi LX Palm Leaf, $70
Jawbone Big JAMBOX, $299

That big ass shark instilled fear into the hearts of us all. But not Hooper. Hooper had the bravery of 1,000 men on the high seas with the style to match. Nautical style to the max capped off (no pun intended) with a bucket hat? His wave is unsurfable. You can try with some similar pieces you'd find today, though.

Rogue Territory Willard Field Jacket, $253
Tantum Raw Japanese Denim Bucket Hat, $119
Battenwear Short-Sleeved Reach Up Sweatshirt, $176
Outlier Three Way Shorts, $148

One of the most iconic movie characters of all time is coincidentally also one of the biggest on-screen style icons. Indiana Jones' signature hat and jacket, along with the ever-popular Alden "Indy" Boots have been often replicated, but luckily there are pieces available today that can be worn summer nights that won't make you look like a Halloween character.

This Harmony Korine dandy is filled with immorality that parents would scoff at, but they can't say shit about the iconic skateboarder style Casper brings to the big screen. Baggy chinos, a T-shirt repping his skate gear, and the appropriate footwear is still immortalized by the stylish pavement warriors of today.

Supreme/Wackies Horace Tee, $40
Nike SB Hi Backpack, $60
Maiden Noir Service Chinos, $227
Raised By Wolves Bagheera Jungle Book Skateboard, $66

We won't give you the song and dance, but Grease is a classic. And a lot of that has to do with Danny Zuko's ability to sing, dance, and rock the fuck out of a leather perfecto and black denim. This look is still very accessible today. Eat your heart out.

Public School Earliblaze Morimoto Jacket, $1,998

Acne Vega Paper Black Jeans, $154
Maison Martin Margiela Nail Heel Oxford, $594

Damn it all to hell if Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez and crew weren't the most stylish group of youngsters to hit the field. Benny's attire just to get dirty playing baseball is better than, like, 95 percent of all style. Luckily, we have the resources to swaggerjack and become the "Great Bambino of Style" sans the whole getting dirty and having to face "The Beast" thing.

3sixteen 2-Pack Heavyweight Plain T-Shirt, $85

Ruell & Ray Spence Slim Denim, $180
The Knottery x Ebbets "The Hash" Cap, $45
WTaps Crossbone Canvas Sneakers, $251

Billy Hoyle was a hustler. His predisposed pigment kept dudes in flux on the court, but they should've taken a look at his dope attire to realize he had swagger. A tie-dye 5 panel and OG Nikes (newly retroed, of course) that you want today? That's no chump. White man can dress.

ASOS 5-Panel Tie Dye Cap, $20
Stussy Basic Batik Shirt, $66
Rocksmith Explicit Tank, $30
This Is Not New Cozy Boy Shorts, $80

Teddy Duchamp was crazy—crazy stylish. His aspirations to join the Army inspired his choice of boots and dog tags, helping him become a summer movie style icon. Keep it real with the LVCs and Hula shirt while keeping the crazy military style with a modern twist.

No other movie character has popularized Jordans quite like Buggin' Out, except for MJ himself introducing those cold-ass 11s in Space Jam. Tone down the militancy, but turn up the color with the signature yellow-striped shirt and madras shorts.

Levi's Vintage Collection 1960s Striped Tee, $95
Nous Somme x Andre Necklace, $252
Gant Patchwork Bermuda Shorts, $63
