Summer Series: #SALTFASHIONGUIDE N°01.

Built for heatwaves, heartbreaks, and high tides.

Jun 19, 2025

It’s Summer,

my closet is overfilled and somehow I have nothing to wear. Do you imagine such a pain, such a dilemma? A #SALTED girl must be at her peak in Summer Sunset Coloured Days.

And somehow it feels like I have nothing to wear.

You’re feeling just like me? You acted on impulse for years and your closet items are all outdated? Walk with me in the perfect Imaginary Summer themed closet, and gain some insights on building your dream wardrobe, staple piece by staple piece.

THE SUMMER ESSENTIALS GUIDE:

A crisp white t-shirt:
Lover of a tan. Easy to style. A blank canvas for creativity.

A lined boxer short:
Boys don’t cry. Boys’ fits are the new sexy. ‘Boys Boys Boys’ by Lady Gaga in the background.

A matching shirt:
Sensual and androgynous. From work to the party. Wardrobe essential, no questions asked.

Maxi skirts rotation:
If you’re a mermaid and a true boho chic, I’m not inventing anything new. Long is the way.

Perfect blue jean:
Like finding the love of your life: complicated. But once it’s yours, it stays close to your skin: no doubt, no debate.

Maxi puff sleeve top:
Drama. Think Spanish dresses, hoops, a bold laugh that turns heads.

Cool belts:
As many as you have skirts. To cinch loose dresses, hug denim, flirt with mini shorts.

Mini dresses:
Shiny skin, warm night air as perfume, wind as your stylist.

Big boots:
Nothing as delicate as a girl in lace and combat boots.

Converse:
Easy. The kind of love that doesn’t need explaining.

Jelly shoes:
I’m four, I’m free, and I’m hunting for crabs with my best friend. Core memory coded in PVC.

Suede leather bag:
The star of your mom's closet in the 2000s. Think fringe, faded love letters, the smell of real leather.

Starfish jewels & sea-witch things:
Found on a beach or in your dreams. Wear them like protection.

PRINTS & FABRICS: SUMMER SPELL SONG.

Animals: Zebra, Leo, Cow, Tiger… Suede. Airy linen. Worn out cotton. Leather. Jeans. Cheap satin. Thrifted skirts. Gingham. Maxi florals. Dots. Indian silk. Jasmine & Coconut perfumes. Your best friend's skin adorned by the sun. Salted hair. Marine mist. Calloused feet in a fish spa around the beach. Your ice cream melting through your fingers. The glance of that boy lingering on the side of your mouth. Fabrics sticking to your body after a dancing night with the girls. Your hair sweat in your neck, the curls against your temple. Warmed up by the heat lip glosses. Your silver rings smelling faintly metallic. A soaked up bikini drying swiftly in the sun. Sands everywhere. The lush of the tropical plants. Cherries coloured teeth.

MEDIAS TO ESCAPE WITH:

Here’s what we’re watching, reading, listening & rewatching. The medias that carries the #SALT mood from sand to screen to soul. This is for the girls who pack novels before sunscreen.

WATCHING: For Girls Who Cry At The Beach

🧡 The O.C. (2003 // Teen/Drama)
Sad rich kids, tank tops, and the best early 2000s soundtrack. Endless summer vibes with a side of heartbreak.

Effy. Freddie. Cook. British chaos in vintage slips and smeared eyeliner.

🍑 Fruits Basket (2019 // Anime/Fantasy)
Soft girl, cursed boys, emotional healing through hugs and zodiac trauma. Sweet and aching.

Australian mermaid drama. Wet hair, sparkly tails, big teen emotions.

2025: The Clean Girl is Dead ~ or is she just cosplaying a Coachella Babe all year round?

Maybe we’ll wake up in September, feeds filled once again with fresh planners, tartan miniskirts, and early morning pilates sessions. Maybe the cycle repeats. Or maybe: just maybe, we’re entering a new era. One that smells like 2012–2016: when girls listened to Lana Del Rey on loop and curated WeHeartIt boards before Pinterest even had clout.
She used to hide her “silly” interests. She straightened her hair to fit in.
But now, she uses Olaplex. She buys obscure Italian haircare. She rolls, brushes, pampers her split ends like it’s spiritual maintenance. Meet the #SALTGIRL.
