If you’re a hot girl, put your hands up — and all of you better be raising them high!
#HotGirlWalks is TikTok’s latest fitness obsession where exercise and inspiration intersect.
While everyone and their grandmas are currently partaking in the trend, it was initially branded at the start of the pandemic by TikTok user @exactlyliketheothergirls, whose actual name is Mia.
Mia was sick of being indoors, so she implemented a daily walk into her routine, which was once referred to as a “silly little walk” for her “silly little mental health.”
All the walk consisted of was an outdoor stroll paired with a motivational podcast or playlist.
Flash forward, and that “silly little walk” has garnered a cult following of fashion-forward women putting their best foot forward (literally).
While you technically don’t need anything to go on a #HotGirlWalk — simply grab some water and sneakers, and call it a day — looking your best will get you feeling your best.
We did some digging on TikTok and rounded up the most iconic Hot Girl Walk must-haves.
Matching Sets
To no one’s surprise, a matching set is a Hot Girl Walk necessity. What we love most about matching sets is that they take little to no effort. Just slip on your fit and head outside.
