It’s a bonus that gauchos have plenty of practical elements, like their aforementioned pull-on shape, light weight, and soft texture. Plus, the style’s below-the-knee hems — like the South American “gaucho” cowboy attire that inspired their name — are perfect for showcasing your summer shoes and pedicures. It’s harmonious that simple pieces like tank tops, T-shirts, and flip-flops are the most popular choices to wear with gauchos, just like they were decades ago. On TikTok and Instagram, pairs in neutral black, brown, and gray shades have proven to be most popular, with additional standouts in hues like pistachio green, orchid, and ivory — plus eye-catching floral or striped prints. We know Marissa Cooper and Summer Roberts would approve.
