It’s summer 2021 which calls for never-ending, glowing and sunshiny days.

We won’t leave you hanging though! Read to find out how Arganatural can best prepare you for summer 2021 and beyond!

Where did the phrase “hot girl summer” come from and what does it mean?

Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion recently released her album, Fever, this past May. Both on the cover art of the album, as well as within multiple songs, Megan referred to herself as the “hot girl”. Not long after, her fans, who went by “hotties”, began the trend of “hot girl summer” through social media posts on Instagram, Twitter, among most other platforms. But what does “hot girl summer” even mean? In an interview with the Root in late June, Megan explained: “It’s just basically about women — and men — just being unapologetically them, just having a good time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody got to say about it.” To help fully understand the phrase, some of her fans explained their take on the trending words:

“It’s about living my best life, feeling like a bad man and doing what I have to do. Being you and being independent is all it’s about. Enjoying yourself and not caring is the key!”

“It’s the outfit and especially the attitude. You can look like trash but if you have a hot girl summer attitude, you’re good!”

“What makes a hot girl summer? Your attitude and your vibe. It’s 2019 — a year for women to do what they want to do.”

So it becomes clear that there is no specific definition for the phrase, however, to sum it up for you all, it means to spend the Summer doing you! Whether that be soaking up the rays at the beach, clubbing until dawn, traveling the world (safely of course), or sitting in bed all day watching Netflix...as long as you’re feeling like your best self, you're fulfilling your duties to have a “hot girl summer”.
