Surf Crush, also known as Coconut Girl, is an aesthetic that was prevalent from roughly 2003 to 2008. The term was coined by designer and celebutante Steves Peeps in 2018. It is named after the mid-2000s surfer-style fashion craze inspired by TV shows such as The OC and Laguna Beach. This fashion aesthetic was prevalent in award shows as well as graphic design. This era co-existed with the McBling era.
