Growing up and seeing a thong bikini at a public pool was like seeing Bigfoot walking outside of your house. It just didn't happen.
In 2019, I feel like you can see a thong just walking around inside of a grocery store.
The term of the summer that you may have seen on social media is "hot girl summer." If you aren't aware of what it means, Time.com has you covered.
"Hot girl summer," a seasonal riff on Megan's trademark boast of doing "real hot girl sh-t" year-round, acts as both a motto and a missive to her loyal fanbase (nearly 4 million across Instagram and Twitter), affectionately referred to as the "hotties." Contrary to what one might assume when hearing "hot girl," the lifestyle is not focused on aspiring towards conventional beauty or influencer clout. Instead, it's an embrace of confidence at its most essential: loving who you are and doing what you want, without caring what others think.
Miley Cyrus has fully embraced "hot girl summer" in her most recent Instagram photos.
