The Instagram accounts you need to follow to live in an endless summer

With the summer season coming to an end, we’ve rounded up a series of Instagram accounts that keep alive the essence of the summer we all want to prolong as long as possible. From the dreamscapes of European beaches to the hedonistic decadence of queer festivals, these profiles not only document summer but reinvent it as a perpetual state of mind, where warmth, desire and nostalgia are intertwined in every post. Here, summer never ends.
