Hot Girl Walks, but Make It Autumn
The Hot Girl Walk took over TikTok last year as a self-care ritual: put in your earbuds, head outside, and spend a few miles reflecting on your goals, affirmations, and gratitude. But now that the leaves are changing and pumpkin spice is back on every corner, it’s time to give this trend a seasonal glow-up: the Autumn Hot Girl Walk.
Perfect Walking Season = Autumn
Summer walks? Fun, but let’s be real — they usually end with you sweaty and desperate for AC. Fall walks, though, are on another level. The air is cool and crisp, the kind that wakes you up without freezing you out. Everywhere you look, the trees are showing off with fiery colors, the sidewalks are covered in crunchy leaves, and the light has that golden, movie-scene glow. A walk in cooler air isn’t just good cardio; it’s also grounding, calming, and restorative.
Make It Mindful
Your Autumn Hot Girl Walk isn’t just about getting steps in — it’s about slowing down and checking in with yourself while you move. Use the time to clear your head, run through affirmations, or even talk through ideas you’ve been sitting on. If your brain’s busy, let the walk be a mini reset: no emails, no scrolling, just you and your thoughts.
Affirmation to try while walking:
“I’m letting go of what I don’t need, and making space for what feels good.”
The Autumn Essentials
Of course, no Autumn Hot Girl Walk is complete without a few cozy extras. A little preparation can turn a simple stroll into a full-on seasonal ritual. Here are some easy things to bring along:
Cozy layers: Oversized sweaters, chunky scarves, or that jacket you’ve been waiting all summer to wear.
A warm drink: Chai latte, hot cider, matcha, or coffee in your go-to thermos (bonus points if it's a Stanley).
The perfect soundtrack: Taylor Swift’s Evermore, moody indie tracks, soft jazz, or even a Gilmore Girls rewatch playlist.
Something to capture your thoughts: a quick journal entry, a voice not on your phone, or even a TikTok recap. Turn your walk into more than just steps.
Turn It Into a Ritual
Try to make your Autumn Hot Girl Walk a little weekly tradition. Maybe it’s a Saturday morning reset or a golden-hour stroll after work. Pair it with your favorite playlist or podcast, and let it be your thing — something that grounds you and gives you a reason to look forward to the season.
Grab your coziest layers, cue up your fall soundtrack, and step outside. The Autumn Hot Girl Walk isn’t just a trend — it’s a vibe, a form of self-care, and maybe the best way to romanticize your life this season.
