The Ultimate Guide to a Hot Girl Summer
Summer is finally here hot girls, and I have done all the research for you. What colors are trending this season? What is going to be your go-to piece when you’re in a pinch? What is a must-have in your summer wardrobe? Let’s go on a hot girl talk and I will fill you in on everything you need to have the hottest summer possible.
I have personally always struggled the most in finding my personal style in warmer seasons. During seasons like fall or winter, it’s easy to add dimension to your outfits by layering different coats, jackets, scarves, etc. I have found myself in a road block at times when trying to pick out an outfit that I’m proud of when it’s a million degrees outside. I want to throw on the smallest top I can find and some jean shorts and call it a day, but that never emotes my true style and it ultimately doesn’t feel like “me”. Here are a few things I have done to give myself a Hot Girl Summer.
The first, and in my opinion easiest, way to add some of your personal style to summer outfits is with colors and patterns. This can be adding a colorful bag, jewelry, or pair of sunnies to a basic outfit to give it a little character and a summer vibe. You don’t have to completely start from scratch! One of my favorite hobbies is studying color trends and predicting what the colors of each season will be based off of designer runway shows and look books. For example, this past fall/winter, a deep wine red was the hottest color you could wear. The red is going to come with us into the summer season, but it’ll be a brighter cherry shade. We will also see a lot of pastel yellows and blues, giving that European summer feel. When in doubt for what colors to reach for this summer, go with your primary colors (they’re primary for a reason). Primary colors give a quiet luxury feel and are true classics. A traditional pattern we will also see a lot of this summer is stripes in every direction and every color! A white linen pant with light blue vertical stripes is going to be my go-to this summer.
We have our color scheme, now what?
The next step in curating our summer wardrobe is finding interesting yet breathable pieces to go with our basics (everyone needs/probably owns a good plain white t-shirt, some jean shorts, some sort of basic little tank top, etc). My go-to fabric when I’m looking for summer clothing items is a cotton-linen blend. Linen is everything in the warmer months because of how breathable it is as a fabric. Linen shorts, pants, and button downs are great ways to add dimension to your closet because they come in so many fun colors and patterns. Just be careful when washing because shrinking your clothes is not hot! I am also trying to stray away from jean short-shorts and push myself to get creative in the bottom half of my outfits. I am on the hunt for a good pair of mom style jean shorts, silk mini skirts, and patterned linen or boxer shorts that I can pair with baby tees or even short sleeve blouses. If you truly just love your jean short-shorts, try adding a belt and a fun bag to add some color and texture!
The quickest and easiest summer outfit of all time is throwing on a cute and comfortable dress. I love a good summer dress because it can be worn in so many different ways. Throw on a pair of cowboy boots, a pair of sneakers, or a kitten heel and you have three completely different looks. You can also throw on a baby tee under to add another layer that’s still comfortable for warm weather. If you don’t have a good summer dress, you need one!
The Ultimate Guide to a Hot Girl Summer is not complete without the most important accessory of all: confidence. Whatever you decide to wear this summer, it should make you feel like the best version of you! The key to having a hot girl summer is to be a Hot Girl, and that starts with you expressing your true self. Originality is hot!
