Tally Your Results
Count the letter you chose most often, and reveal your summer aesthetic!
A: Coastal Nonna (Italian Grandmother)
You embrace vintage glamour, cherish tradition, and believe the best summer memories are made around a family table. Your lips are always perfectly coated in a shade of red or blush, and your personality matches. This aesthetic is everything Sofia Loren, Dolce and Gabanna, and a lot of olive oil beauty treatments.
B: South American Carnival Queen
Bold, passionate, and always ready to celebrate, you bring the party wherever you go!
You also know your colors and are not afraid to use them. Picture Shakira, Giselle Bundchen, and clothing designed for dancing. A-line skirts, clothing with sequins, and anything that may make a sound when shaking the hips. Shimmer oil is a big plus.
C: New England Teenager
Quirky, adventurous, and sweetly nostalgic, you make every coastal town your playground. Picture a lot of white, pastels, navy, and tan. Anything you’ve ever seen a Kennedy wearing or featured in a Ralph Lauren ad. Americana meets a higher than average tax bracket, if you will.
D: Miami Trophy Wife
Unapologetically glam, you love luxury, and you know how to attract attention. This aesthetic is all about being tan and always looking feminine. Dresses and high heels are a must and even when you dress down, there is a clear intentionality to that.
E: Bali Transplant
Zen and effortlessly chic, you crave adventure and spiritual connection in lush, tropical settings. Your outfits are always comfortable, a bit minimalistic, and mostly look like they were bought at a market in South East Asia.
F: Mediterranean Market Muse
Effortlessly stylish and a lover of slow mornings and handmade finds, you’re inspired by fresh food, artisan goods, and sunlit piazzas. Every outfit looks like it randomly came together and yet still feels undeniably thoughtful. Think maxi skirts, bandanas, button down linen shirts, and obviously: wicker baskets!
G: Ibiza It-Girl
Magnetic, fun-loving, and always ahead of trends, you thrive in vibrant nightlife, pool parties, and remain Euro chic year-round. You know the DJs by name and while you may be happy enjoying a relaxing beach day, you're always ready to hit the dance floor. Just like any good it girl, this aesthetic is both exciting and easy-going.
