The vibe of the summer has been set and it’s about to get messy. Yes, we’re talking about the magic of ‘Brat Girl Summer’, and how the new acid green trend has inspired us to wear our threadbare tops, black-out shades, and Bic lighters with a side of badass attitudes. Following a long reign of Clean Girl and Quiet Luxury trends, the vibe has done a complete 180.

What is Brat Summer?

Brat Summer is a vibrant and rebellious trend inspired by a certain pop star's bold aesthetic and embraced by millennials and Gen Z, featuring glow-in-the-dark green, edgy textures, and daring Bratty fashion choices. It's all about embracing your true self with unapologetic confidence and becoming your own muse.

Say goodbye to unrealistic standards and hello to unapologetic self-expression. This year's Brat Girls are all about embracing their wild, complex selves and having a blast while doing it. Inspired by a certain queen of weird and OG internet girlie, the singer-songwriter’s latest album has set the tone for the season that evokes quintessential millennial nostalgia. The acid-green artwork is flooding TikTok and Instagram feeds, and the tracks are on everyone's playlist.

Brat Girls are here to shake things up with their carefree, no-holds-barred approach to life. Gone are the days of striving for unattainable aesthetics, because now it's all about authenticity and embracing every messy, glorious part of yourself. Think: Grungy smudged makeup, beats, manic energy, sweating on the dance floor, all of it. But apart from the impeccable Bratty summer styles, with the viral success of this new album, the Brat Girl movement is more than just a trend—it's a celebration of individuality and fun. So, get ready to join the party, let loose, and let your Brat Girl feral energy out girlies. And in case you’re looking for Bratty fashion inspiration, here are some of our favorite picks that are so, OG Brat Girl, Julia-coded.
