Brat Bach Party Theme: Ideas That Have That Je Ne Sais Quoi

Brat has officially been crowned the zeitgeist of the summer, the iconic slime-green oozing into everything from beauty to fashion to design. But beyond the business, there's something to be said for the mantra Charli XCX was chanting, and how it's resonating with this particular time in history.

The Brat aesthetic is poised to be the It girl of bach party themes, and with Madame Vice President Kamala Harris doubling down on Charli XCX's tweet endorsement of the veep — “kamala IS brat” — and turning it into her entire campaign's branding, we expect this to be sticking around long past August.

The theme screams fun, freedom and fierce — everything you want in a bach party. Pulling from Charli XCX's album — the minimalistic “brat” written in intentionally low-res font with a lime green background — brat is all about accepting your imperfections while embracing the chaos. The aesthetic itself is elevated yet edgy, giving early aughts party vibes that is the perfect high-low balance, and being unapologetically yourself.

So gather your pop girlies and gays, and prepare to party like it's Y2K.
