Let’s temporarily set aside the “silent luxury” of the quiet luxury “storm,” and now is the time for the fashion world to focus more on the radiance of “lazy girls” – Hot Sloth Summer.
It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s hardly a fashion enthusiast who hasn’t heard of the “echo” of the quiet luxury trend. Quiet luxury has “dominated” every fashion trend ranking with its sophistication and elegance displayed in a subtle and modest way through meticulously crafted designs. Existing alongside the “whirlwind” stirring the fashion world is another “modest” trend. That’s the “Hot Sloth Summer” or also known as the girls who attract attention with their “lazy” fashion appearances. Yes, the mix-and-match outfits that are “messy,” flexibly coordinated with preferences and priorities for comfort, appearances closely associated with underwear, loungewear, etc., have become a fashion trend, a fresh dressing trend, beloved by the youth.
If quiet luxury shines with a fashion appearance of “luxurious, sophisticated, smooth,” or the minimalist outfits with “expensive simplicity,” then the “lazy girls” will mesmerize everyone with simple, intimate, everyday outfits and vividly depicted personal colors. Although it’s also a way of wearing pajamas out, the “Hot Sloth Summer” outfits are often not calculated or coordinated according to any rules, but rather depend on the individual’s personality and preferences. To be honest, “lazy girls” only wear what’s closest to their bed!
We won’t have a specific time or specific face to invent this new fashion trend. However, the moment this trend exploded must have been when the famous model and one of the top “It Girls” – Bella Hadid, appeared very confidently on the street wearing extremely short boxer shorts unexpectedly paired with a stylish moto jacket. From there, the “effortlessly beautiful” appearance began to invade the fashion arena, from prestigious runways, appearances of famous celebrities to the everyday wardrobes of today’s youth. Last November, Kendall Jenner made the fashion world “restless” with a pair of extremely short shorts from Bottega Veneta, paired with black leggings and a simple sweater. Before that, her sister Kylie Jenner also made a bold impression with white underwear when appearing at Loewe’s fashion show. Lily-Rose Depp has also grabbed the “spotlight” several times when appearing on the streets of LA in high heels and a pair of shorts… This “lazy” appearance has also become a special source of inspiration in the design language of many fashion houses, and has been showcased on prestigious fashion runways. A typical example is the “messy” appearance with sequin underwear from Miu Miu in the Fall-Winter 2023 collection.
Honestly, there’s nothing too difficult for fashion enthusiasts to embrace this new trend. The wardrobes of “Hot Sloth Summer” girls are often characterized by shorts worn underneath, especially designs made of cool lace or satin. Unlike wearing full pajamas or loungewear out, these standout girls in this “lazy” attire often prefer to wear short shorts with stylish T-shirts, suitable for both home and street confidently. In addition to baby tees, spaghetti strap tops, or dynamic crop tops are ideal suggestions for changing appearances. Although appearances are coordinated “irregularly,” these “effortlessly beautiful” appearances are greatly enhanced by outerwear designs. Unique jackets not only complete and make the overall appearance of these girls more outstanding but also make the sleepwear of “Hot Sloth Summer” girls more suitable for confidently going out. Additionally, knee-high boots or ugg boots that are currently trending are perfect highlights, creating the characteristic charm of this “lazy” appearance. A large, bold headband from the 90s will be an ideal accent for bad hair days or intentionally messy hairstyles for utmost comfort. Meanwhile, Y2K sunglasses will be a great “weapon” for “lazy” makeup layouts. A large bold belt is also one of the indispensable accessories.
