It is trending everywhere. So here is your quick 101, everything you need to know on what BRAT SUMMER is:
Earlier this summer Charli XCX’s album “Brat” sparked a new viral trend known as “Brat Summer.” Part of the sensation is a specific green color. In fact @kamalahq is now topped with a “Brat” style banner.
What is it?
The trend is characterized by a distinctive fashion style and a carefree, bold mindset that resonates with the party girl aesthetic; many calling it the trashy look.
How do you embody it?
Trying to figure out how to have a brat look? It is a throwback to 2010’s hot mess era, think Lindsay Lohan or Kesha: lace tank tops, micro-mini skirts, ripped shirts and boyfriend denim, black-out sunglasses, messy hair – you get the idea.
For a BRAT summer, these are my tips to have the look:
- Buried in our closed we all have an old pair of jeans or top, that can easily be repurposed for the BRAT look.
- Go vintage! Nothing like thrift store shopping to find some good finds at an affordable price.
- Go makeup free – there is nothing that says you more than the raw natural look. (But don’t forget the SPF – it is summer). A big part of BRAT is skipping the 12 step routines and a million products.
This is why you need to shop for waterless, no-nonsense, easy to throw in your bag skincare.
