6 Tips to Prep for Hot Boy Summer
Because thirst traps don’t post themselves, sweetie.
Hot Boy Summer is upon us, and if you’re not already preparing like it’s your gay Super Bowl, what are you even doing? Whether you’re heading to Fire Island, flexing at the gym for very non-thirsty reasons, or just planning to make the most of your hometown homo safari, it’s time to get yourself in maximum slay mode.
Here are six fabulous, foolproof, and flaming hot tips to make sure you’re serving main character energy all summer long. Let’s get prepped, polished, and ready to pop off like a sweaty jockstrap on the dance floor.
1. Hydrate Like You’re a Desert Thirst Trap
Before you oil yourself up and throw on your shortest shorts, let’s get something straight (LOL, again — never): dehydration is not hot. Water is your bestie. Like, I-would-die-for-you level bestie.
Want that glowing, tight, “I drink green juice and never stress” skin? Drink water. Want your sweat to smell less like tequila regret? Drink water. Want to avoid passing out mid-twerk at a pool party? DRINK. WATER.
Also, coconut water counts. White Claw does not.
2. Trim, Pluck, and Prune (But Don’t Overdo It)
Hot Boy Summer is about embracing your best self — not turning yourself into a smooth wax figure with anxiety. That said, a lil’ grooming goes a long way. Hit those brows with a tweezer. Clean up the neckbeard. Give your pubes a flattering fade. Maybe even go wild and moisturize. 😱
Body hair is hot. Smooth skin is hot. Confidence is hotter. Pick your vibe and commit.
3. Get That Body Moving, Hunny
No, you don’t need a six-pack. But you do need some serotonin and a little endorphin sparkle. Whether you’re power-walking in your cutest tank or voguing alone in your room to Beyoncé’s Renaissance (again), move that body.
Not for a number on a scale — for the main character montage moment you deserve.
4. Refresh That Underwear Drawer, Baby
Nothing says “Hot Boy Summer is here” like slipping into a fresh, sexy pair of undies that make your cheeks pop and your bulge say hello, boys. Lucky for you, our new drops at Andrew Christian were literally designed for moments like this.
Mesh? Check. Bright colors? Check. Pouches that practically cuddle your package? CHECK.
Go ahead and toss out the crusty pairs. We won’t judge… but we will suggest a Deep-V thong in exchange.
5. Practice Your Flirt Game (IRL!)
Enough with the awkward emoji-only convos on dating apps. It’s time to flirt like the unapologetically queer peacock you are. Compliment that hot guy at the gym. Flash a smile at the bar. Say “hey” like you mean it.
Confidence is currency during Hot Boy Summer — and guess what? You’re RICH, baby.
