The best season of the year is finally here! And whether you’re having yourself a hot-girl summer or a house-girl summer, there’s one thing for sure – you’re going to want to take pictures to commemorate it. In case you forgot, summer means no school, no bulky coats, and no blistering cold. Add in two dashes of unlimited swimming, more popsicles than you can count, and a pinch of brunch on the patio, and you’ve got the recipe for happiness! Here are some Instagram captions for summer and summer puns to inspire your feed.

If you missed the opportunity to Insta-celebrate the summer solstice with a great caption, don’t worry! I’m never one to underestimate the power of words. That’s why I brainstormed a list of ideas, so my girls will be full of inspiration. Why throw out a boring “suns out buns out” when there’s funnier, sassier options out there?
I know you’ve got the perfect pool pic down, so here’s a few Insta-worthy Instagram captions for summer to keep your feed as hot as you are!
