It's silly, because it's silly to be able to spend so much time away from the time when you do little or nothing, or do a lot of nothing useful.
But it's useful for our mental health, which is curious, because it's the silly season. But maybe it's not silly to spend the day wearing flip flops, wearing a bikini – or none, free the nipple style or side boob mode, without taboos. Maybe it's not silly not to think about the total look, but totally dominating it, in that effortless summer look, where tourist clothing meets influencer-style. Maybe it's not silly to let the afternoons go by in laziness and arrive at the end of the day complaining of being tired of doing nothing. Perhaps the most dizzy thing is to lose ourselves reading when we can absorb the bathing mood in images. Photography by Frederico Martins. Styling by Larissa Marinho.
