If you’re a staunch TikTok girlie, you know Hot Girl Walks are summer’s hottest trend. But just in case you’re not up to speed yet, here’s the deal. Hot Girl Walks (HGWs), unlike your regular ol’ strolls, aren’t just about getting your steps in (although toned legs are a major perk); they’re a mental health gamer changer.
Credited to Mia Lind (@exactlyliketheothergirls), the Hot Girl Walk is a four-mile stroll that allows you to focus on three vital things: what you’re grateful for, your goals, and how hot you are. It’s just like journalling but coupled with nature. No gym fees, no fancy gadgets, just you, your thoughts, and some tunes (or that Kendrick Lamar lineup!)
But, while HGW is fantastic for your mind and the planet (hello, less eco-anxiety), a little retail therapy never hurt anyone, right?
That’s where we come in. We’ve curated the ultimate list of TikTok-approved Hot Girl Walk essentials that’ll turn your walk from ‘meh’ to ‘damn, she’s a baddie.’ Think cute, affordable outfits that’ll leave you feeling like the baddest bih on the block (even with this summer heat), plus all the practical stuff like sun protection, hydration, and mood-boosting elements.
Ready to embrace the HGW life? Keep scrolling for the most personalized shopping list – trust us, these items are sure to show the world what a Hot Girl Walk is truly made of!
