Marissa Cooper’s effortless style in The O.C. defined California casual. Her blend of boho and preppy fashion created a laid-back yet polished aesthetic. The show aired in 2003, and quickly became a hit among teens and young adults. Mischa Barton, as Marissa, was the face of this trend, inspiring a generation with her understated yet chic wardrobe. California casual was all about comfort with a touch of elegance. If it made a comeback today, it would perfectly suit the demand for relaxed yet stylish everyday looks.
