Finally, sunny weather has hit the UK! It only took half of 2025. Here are 15 ways you can identify a posh girl during a summer heat wave. If you spot her doing these things, run now. Or try to secure an invite to her next boujie house party.
1. Slurping on her tenth blueberry iced matcha
During a heat wave, nothing resuscitates your soul quite like an iced beverage But iced matchas are just not financially sustainable choices. I mean, it’s like six quid for a tiny plastic container of fluorescent fluid, most of which is just ice.
2. Complaining the heat is bad for their horses
God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Other common complaints are, “the croquet lawn is too dry” and “who will water the alpine house while we’re in Mykonos?”
3. Hanging out by their friend’s pool
No, they’re not posting Instagram stories from a luxury Mediterranean villa. That’s just Tilly’s back garden.
4. Shopping for uni room décor
Now, people have common sense understand most of the stuff in student houses will get nicked by pesky flatmates and/or vomited on. People who have too much money will buy a whole new array of overpriced decorations and unnecessary kitchen equipment at the start of each year. Honestly, Tatiana, one stray VK and that fluffy white rug is doomed.
5. Playing tennis, like, casually
Other acceptable pastimes include watching the polo and playing croquet non-ironically.
Does anyone really understand the rules of this silly game?
6. At the front row of every single concert
Only girls with more money than personality will be seeing all the pop girlies on tour this summer.
7. Picnicking
Nothing screams “I have more time and money than I have sense” quite like a picnic. Why spend money on foldable chairs and floral plastic plates and woven hampers? Why waste hours packing up snacks you could’ve just eaten at home? I guarantee nobody will touch the kimchi samosas after they’ve sat in the sun for two hours, and have been licked by a pack of labradors. Next time, don’t bother spending a fortune on crudités in M&S. Just chop up a carrot yourself.
8. Throwing a giant house party while their parents are on holiday
When mummy and daddy are away, the posh girls can play! As soon as the chauffeur arrives to pick up a posh girl’s parents for their ninth holiday to Santorini that week, the posh girl will invite everyone round. Well, she can’t be expected to drink the whole wine cellar by herself.
9. Glamping at a festival
Normal students go to Reading or Leeds festival with a cheap tent some drunk guy has p*ssed on three years in a row. Posh students will rock up to Glasto with the same caravan they take to showjumping events.
10. Interning at daddy’s company
Wow, I wonder how Petronella Bridgerton-Windsor managed to get work experience at a consultancy firm called Bridgerton-Windsor Tax Advisors.
11. Partying at their eleventh Oxbridge ball
The ticket price doesn’t factor in how much money they were peer-pressured into wasting on ballgowns
Wait, that girl didn’t go to Oxford or Cambridge? How has she wangled her way into Trinity College May Ball for the fourth year in a row? And how can she afford all these £250+ tickets?
12. She’s the most tanned person at every party
Spending two weeks on a yacht at Lake Como tends to do that to your complexion.
13. Drinking two to three Aperol spritzes per afternoon
Ordering cocktails at pubs? In this economy?
14. Donning white linen trousers
This has got to be the most impractical clothing item known to womankind. One stray droplet of red wine, and they’re gone. Wearing white linen trousers isn’t just a fashion statement. It’s a signal that you can afford to keep buying new clothes.
15. You can’t spot them because they’re already on holiday
You wonder why you haven’t seen Araminta for a couple of weeks. Then you consult Snap Maps, and realise she’s been sunbathing at her grandfather’s villa in southern France since April. You’ll see her again in September. Assuming she doesn’t drop out of uni to find herself on a yoga course in Bali.
