Brat Summer: A How-to Guide for All Your Date Night Fits

Datenight Brat Summer

Our brains have gone rotten right to the core with our inability to get any song from Charli XCX’s newest album, Brat, out of our heads. This may sound like something we would be mad about, however, we are LIVING for Brat summer. L-I-V-I-N-G.

Charli XCX’s Brat album has sparked a new viral trend taking social media by storm and when it comes to the hottest OOTD’s, stands out with all things lime green! Inspired by the 2000s, the trend combines elements of a party lifestyle with a feminine touch–calling all it-girls to show off avant-garde fashion and edgy state of mind.

Brat Summer isn’t just a trend, it’s a way of life.

Let us introduce you to our brat summer ‘starter packs’. And don’t you fret, there is PLENTY of brat summer left for all!

Ok, we may have been belting “You wanna guess the color of my underwear? You wanna know what I got going on down thеre? Is it pretty in pink or all see-through?” to this Charli track that followed the release of the original version of brat: ‘Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not’.

Have you learned the apple dance yet? What are you waiting for? This one took social media by an absolutely chokehold and we can’t get it out of our heads. Grow the apple and keep all the seeds while nourishing your skin to feel the brattiest inside and out.

You’re not supposed to buy products based on the packaging BUT to achieve a brat summer vibe you must align your skincare, and luckily these products work great and are so brat:

Biolage – Strength Recovery Repairing Leavin-in Treatment Spray -$28.00CAD

If being brat is one thing, being so Julia is another. Julia and brat are related, sisters, even, and both iconic in their own way. Julia is everywhere, she’s an it girl, but she’s still loves a good brat summer. Honestly, think Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl (messy plots included).

Be everywhere, be so Julia with these pieces:

Sézane – Reda Jacket – $275.00 CAD
Sézane – Claude Bag Pistachio Croco – $645.00 CAD

Skinceuticals Phyto Corrective Mask – $90.00 CAD
Sézane –  Louna Shirt Leopard Beige – $185.00 CAD

Ok, so, which is your favourite version of Brat Summer? Personally, we are OBSESSED with Apple, but that could be from spending 15 hours trying to learn the dance.

Objectively on this side of the pond, the most brat city is NYC and we have all the best things to do there, check it out here!
