The whole world has seemingly declared that it is “brat summer.” The recent release of British party girl Charli XCX’s futuristic electropop album Brat has dominated pop culture, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Naturally, the impact of Brat has transcended the music industry. The slime green color of the album is quickly gaining traction in the fashion and beauty spaces, so much so it was named the manicure shade of the season. Much like the discography of Brat, the color itself represents a burgeoning cultural attitude of brazen nonchalance among young women. Less about purposefully reveling in one’s rebelliousness, this bile green is becoming the poster color for the honesty and sheer fierceness of womanhood. Here, L’OFFICIEL examines the different ways you can flaunt this power color of the moment and channel your cool girl style.

It might be summer, but a good lightweight knit sweater never goes out of style, especially if you want to master the art of day-to-night dressing. This piece of outerwear is perfect for adding a pop of color over a classic tank top or bra top and is great for staying warm when the temperature dips during a night out. Pair it with cargo pants or lightweight short shorts for a functional approach, or dress it up with a bright midi-length skirt.

The summer essential top combined with “brat green” is the best way to maximize effortless edginess. This tank top looks best matched with relaxed denim and a reliable pair of sneakers. Meanwhile, its simplicity gives you room to have fun with accessories such as a charming necklace or a sleek pair of sunglasses to beat the blazing sun this season.
