PacSun Is Back on My Radar—And It’s Giving Nostalgia, Cozy Vibes, and Bows
PacSun was an absolute staple for me in high school. Back then, my wardrobe was stocked with their denim, graphic tees, and boho-inspired pieces that made me feel effortlessly cool. But like many brands from my teenage years, it kind of fell off my radar for a while. That is—until my friend Sarah sent me an ad for the cutest bow sweatsuit (so me), and suddenly, I was spiraling down the PacSun rabbit hole.
Turns out? PacSun still has the range. And honestly, I’m loving the nostalgic yet trendy aesthetic they’re serving up right now. It’s giving cozy, it’s giving Y2K revival, and it’s giving… do they still sell that perfume that came in a surfboard-shaped bottle and smelled like coconut? (If you know, you know.)
So naturally, I did what any good shopping enthusiast would do—I built a wish list. And trust me, you’re going to want to add some of these to your cart.

This set is everything. The subtle bow details on the hoodie and sweatpants add just the right amount of feminine charm while keeping the overall vibe casual and comfy. Dark gray is the perfect neutral to balance out the sweetness of the bows, making it wearable whether you’re running errands, lounging at home, or heading to a casual brunch with friends.
Bows are having a major moment right now (thank you, balletcore), and this set is proof that the trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
