July marks the first full month of summer, which makes it the perfect time to lay out by the pool or chill on the ocean with some homies. But while you’re relaxing like a beach bum, make sure you don’t look like one.
Here’s CASSIUS’ official guide to everything you need to stunt on ’em all season long.
