You know what? I hate summer. I hate it. Go ahead and judge me all you want, I don’t give a shit. Have you ever been to New York in the summer? It’s 95 fucking degrees with a million percent humidity and the entire city smells like sweaty balls and feet. Summer sucks.
I also hate pretty much anything that is associated with summer. I fucking hate the beach (sand, seagulls, seaweed, crabs, douchebags), I hate sweating, I hate dudes that cruise around with no shirt on, I hate long boards, I hate mosquitoes, I hate air conditioning bills, I hate t-shirt tans, and I hate the shit out of flip-flops (and being forced to look at ugly feet). And do you know what I hate the most? Not being able to wear my favorite thing in the entire world, the one thing that I like more than I like most human beings, my perfectly worn-in molded-to-my-body black leather jacket.
You know what summer? I’m fucking boycotting you. I don’t give a shit how hot it is, I will NOT wear anything light or gauzy or printed or pretty or whatever the fuck they sell at Anthropologie. I’m going to dress all in black because I’m in mourning. For the death of being able to layer. So here’s my plan to flip off summer without dying of heat exhaustion:
1. Unif Tee $60, Available at Unif
2. Leather Chucks $65, Available at Converse
3. Eddie Borgo Bracelet $510, Available at Feathers
4. Topshop Skirt $76, Available at Topshop
5. Jean Paul Gaultier Vintage Choker $362, Available at House of Liza
6. Lindsey Thornburg Dress $620, Available at Bonadrag
7. Beer Helmet $6, Available at Amazon
8. Unif Hellraiser Flats $175, Available at Unif
9. YSL Ring $290, Available at Ssense
10. Acne Sorraia Purse $818, Available at Oak
11. Alexander McQueen Skull Umbrella $439, Available at Farfetch
12. Theyskens’ Theory Dress $395, Available at Barneys
13. Siwy Leather Skinnies $372, Available at Shopbop
14. Henry Holland for Le Spec Sunglasses $89, Available at Oak
TAKE THAT SUMMER, KAPOW!!! (Ed Note: You just said “kapow”)
Maybe I’m being a little unfair (I blame the epic hangover for making me extra cunty). There are a few things that are okay about summer I guess. I’m really down with roof-top parties in the Lower East Side. And I guess I’m cool with barbecues in Brooklyn. And drinking beer in a park is awesome sometimes. But that’s IT. Oh wait, I basically just said that I love alcohol. So guess what? FUCK YOU SUMMER.

Accurate description of my life. The only reason I like summer because I get to get out of school, otherwise it’s just a package of everything I hate in the world. I’m always wearing black no matter how hot it is: I recently went to Hong Kong and it’s like 100 degrees every day but I wore black anyway. A+ post and A++ commentary.

Hi! i love the post because its somewhat difficult to meet people who agree with me about this subject. A few friends of mine do hate summer. But we are a minority.I hate hot weather, it makes me dizzy and depressed, really does! I hate sweating, i hate feel the awfull heat in my skin, i hate tanning, i hate beach life, i hate all of that s*it. In summer i prefer to work inside the office or go to places like Switzerland or Norway (when i have money…) and get some fresh air and quietness…
I am from Portugal, wich is known for hot weather (tourists, i wish i could send you the hot weather for you take home as a souvenir) forest fires, corruption and a lot of awful stuff. Here in Portugal everybody seems to be totally crazy when summer comes.It seems like a cult, a freaking religion. Everybody goes stupidly happy. And worse, more drunk, noisy, with music loud in their cars and all the stupid blokes outside in the streets being nasty. There is a lot of uneducated idiots around here, but in the summer they hang around in the streets bargging about football and being drunk,I cannot understand when theres 90 degrees outside. If you say around here that you dont like summer, most people will be schocked. Its like you’re an alien or a weirdo. I might be weirdo, but i dont even care what people think as long as they dont force me into their stupid oppinions or judgements. Yes, and i also hate flip flops (and the sound of it, arrgh), colorful stupid clothes, loud music in the streets, uneducated blokes around showing off their cars and muscles and tan and all that s*it, but mostly i hate this obcession of people about summer and how they react as as*holes when someone says “i hate summer”. The idiots are even offended. Now its September. I just came from Norway, where the weather was mild in the cities and also cold in the highlands. But then i arrived in Lisbon “POW!” 90 degrees.Arrgh!I just wish that October brings at least, some rain and mild weather. Uuuuffff..
