29 Signs It's Summer In Miami
Whereas our other Refinery29 site sisters, summer means a time for shorts, phrases like "bikini body" or "summer shape-up" get bandied about, and sunglasses become a must. This, dear Miamians, is our yearly reality. But summer means something different to us (besides just a serious spike in the already steamy temperature) — it means that tourists tend to sit out the hot/stormy months and we get to really experience the city in its most organic form.
Sure, Miami Music Week and Basel are great loads of fun, but when we get a solid three months of visitor respite, we appreciate the quiet. Which is why summer is best for us who really know Miami, who want to experience the tastes (Miami Spice!) and the sounds (305 Fest!) without hordes of interlopers.
Check out our 29 signs it's summer in Miami, and see if you agree — or what you'd want to add. Either way, we're excited for what this summer has in store, even if it does mean a tropical storm or two.
