What is Hot Girl Summer?
Well, it’s living your best life and feeling your hottest self, whether you’re rocking a bikini on the beach or strutting your stuff in a cute sundress. It’s feeling empowered and being unapologetically confident in yourself.
It’s a mindset, it’s all about confidence from within. Whether you’re curvy, tall, short, or anything in between, you are beautiful, and you deserve to feel that way every single day!
As Megan Thee Stallion said hot girl summer is, “to be you, just having fun. Turning up, driving the boat and not giving a damn about what nobody’s saying”. We couldn’t have put it better!

Over the years the term has become widely associated with hook-ups and dating culture but it’s so much more than that. While the term itself has the word girl in it, hot girl summer is welcome to everyone. Anyone can be a hot girl, it’s simply a state of mind!
You don’t have to be single or participate in hook-up culture to be part of the trend. Regardless of your relationship status, you can feel confident and live your best life in whatever way makes you feel good.
Kourtney Kardashian, a woman of many wise one liners, once said, “My vibe right now is just living life”, and that’s a hot girl summer mantra.
Just make sure whatever you do, you do it with confidence!
