When you think of summer, what comes to mind?
How many summers have slipped by because we were bogged down with work, social commitments, and yard work?
Before you know it, the summer has slipped by, and you never got to enjoy the season’s gifts.
Summer only occurs once yearly, so it’s up to you to enjoy every moment. Your life will become richer and more magical when you become in step with each season and their offerings.
“Aaah, summer – that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.”
Darrell Hammond
What does summer aesthetics mean?
According to merriam-webster.com, the word aesthetic means “A particular theory or conception of beauty or art: a particular taste for or approach to what is pleasing to the senses and especially sight.”
Summer aesthetics are sights and sounds that are special to the summer season.

Summer Food Aesthetics
The summer food aesthetic will make your mouth water. There’s a never-ending feast for the eyes and stomach.
Warm days bring on the cravings for cool foods like ice cream, salads, fresh fruit, cold soups, and iced drinks. Grilled foods like ribs, chicken, hamburgers, and hot dogs give the kitchen stove a rest through the summer months.
Here are some of the ideas on how to enjoy the flavors of the season and satisfy your taste buds at the same time:
Making homemade pickles is a summer tradition you want to take advantage of. Summertime is peak production for fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
Preserving our food is a favorite pastime that has soared in popularity recently. Embracing the abundance of summer fruits by transforming ripe berries into a jar of homemade jam.
Throughout the summer months, there’s an abundance of produce available. Visit your local farmer’s market to score just-picked fruits and vegetables that will star in your meals.
If you grew up with memories of eating straight-from-the-garden flavor, count yourself as blessed. A slice of savory tomato pie, with its flaky crust and layers of ripe, juicy tomatoes sprinkled with fragrant herbs and melted cheese, captures the essence of summer’s bountiful harvest.
When the warm summer breeze arrives, our thoughts turn to a delectable seafood boil overflowing with succulent shrimp, crab legs, and tender corn on the cob. This dish transports us to coastal shores, where the vibrant flavors and communal feasting embody the season’s spirit.
Summer is a time for favorite foods that remind us of the carefree days of childhood. Savoring a heavenly lobster roll with tender chunks of lobster in a toasted bun is experiencing a bit of yesteryear with every bite.
Gathered around a crackling campfire on a summer night, the gooey goodness of melted marshmallows and chocolate sandwiched between graham crackers in a classic s’more creates an irresistible and nostalgic delight that epitomizes the essence of summer.
Strolling down the sun-kissed streets on a sweltering summer day, the delightful combination of a cold, creamy ice cream nestled in a crispy wafer cone brings instant relief and pure bliss to our taste buds.
Nothing beats the refreshing juiciness of biting into a perfectly ripe watermelon during the scorching summer days. Its vibrant red flesh provides a delightful burst of sweetness.
Indulging in a warm, crispy funnel cake generously topped with luscious strawberries and whipped cream creates a blissful symphony of flavors.
Summer Aesthetic Outfits
Using an oversized sun hat to shield yourself from the summer rays is a fashionable way to protect your skin.
As temperatures soar, slipping into comfortable summer sandals allows the freedom of your toes basking in the warm summer sun.
Outdoor Summer Aesthetic
It’s essential to spend time in nature with family and friends without the interruptions of daily life. Camping is a fun way to create new memories and connect with the people you love.
During the summer, seashells and the beach come alive with vibrant beauty and captivating wonders. As the golden sun casts its warm rays upon the sandy shores, the shoreline becomes a treasure trove of delicate seashells scattered in various colors and shapes.
The rhythmic sound of crashing waves provides a soothing backdrop, inviting beachgoers to explore the sandy canvas beneath their feet.
Small Town Fairs
Small-town fairs during the summer exude an enchanting sense of community spirit. The air is filled with the inviting aromas of cotton candy, popcorn, and deep-fried everything. Laughter and chatter fill the atmosphere as families, friends, and neighbors come together to celebrate the joys of simple life.
4th of July Aesthetics
The 4th of July in small-town America celebrates patriotism, community, and cherished traditions. Streets adorned with vibrant red, white, and blue decorations proudly display the nation’s flag.
Small towns all over America have 4th of July parades and fireworks shows. Here are some July 4th Celebrations that take this holiday to the next level:
Big Bay Boom July 4th Fireworks Show in San Diego, CA – I’ve personally been to this show. Nothing compares to seeing fireworks reflect off the water and the sky. Four different barges launch fireworks over San Diego’s bay.
Brunswick’s Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration in Georgia – free watermelon slices, water balloon toss, hula hoop contest, and sack races are just some of the things that make this event a family favorite.
Let Freedom Sing! July 4th in Nashville, TN – you already know that Nashville knows how to entertain, but you may not know that they outdo themselves on the 4th of July. The Let Freedom Sing celebration is one you wouldn’t want to miss.
