This one’s for the girls who worship Lana del Rey in their AirPods.
Love it or loathe it, but Charli XCX’s new album Brat has taken over as this summer’s most popular playlist. In its first week alone, 30,000 copies were sold on vinyl, giving it the No 1 spot in the vinyl albums chart, and it received 46.72 million on-demand official streams, according to music industry mag Billboard. Clearly, she really is everywhere, and so Julia.
But Brat’s influence is now stretching far beyond our Spotify summer 2024 playlists as we reach for Von Dutch cult classic caps, mini skirts and cami tops in preparation for the ‘Brat girl summer’, which looks a bit like the warm weather summers of 2002-2008 (proving yet again that Y2K style isn’t going anywhere. Perhaps, like Charli, we too want to rewind.
Above and beyond the 00s revival, it’s the Brat album cover’s green colour that’s gaining a lot of traction, especially when it comes to fashion. Coined ‘Brat green’, it’s not unlike the lime shades that took over the catwalks in 2023, thanks to Acne Studios, Victoria Beckham, Collina Strada and Fendi. So, if you loved the look then you’re in luck: it’s proving even more popular a year on. Below, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite finds.
Acne Studios satin long dress
Acne Studios is channelling the ‘Brat girl’ vibe with its cool, laidback looks that clash colours and textures. This lime green satin dress is a standout, with soft frills and an asymmetrical hem for that unexpected element.
Cos high-shine satin mini skirt
Despite being our go-to workwear brand, Cos seems to be on board with Brat green. This satin mini skirt is a great example and goes straight on our wishlist.
Stine Goya Ziggy micro bag
If you’re not 100% sure about bringing Brat green into your wardrobes but are sold on the shade, then it’s time to turn to accessories. This Stine Goya micro bag immediately caught our attention with its chunky silver chain.
Whistles mixed rib-knit dress
Slightly more yellow than the classic Brat green (sorry), this Whistles number is certainly striking. Pair with silver or gold shades for a minimalist look or clash red, black and orange colours for more of a statement.
Thomas Sabo gold-plated single hoop earring with green bears
The Thomas Sabo x Haribo collection threw another trend into sharp focus this season: gummy bear jewellery. Of course, it looks just as adorable as it sounds.

Cos one-shoulder tank top
A one-shouldered top is one of the easiest ways to liven up an everyday outfit, whether styled with jeans, shorts or more office-friendly black trousers. To make the shade stand out, style with white shades.
