POV: You're scrolling through TikTok watching Eras Tour edits on your FYP and then...huh? What's all this about tomatoes? According to TikTok, Summer 2023 is going to be a ✨ Tomato Girl Summer ✨. But a lot of the previous trends that have come out of TikTok (like kidcore or night luxe) are a little more self-explanatory by name than this new one, so don't worry if this new concept has you scratching your head — we're here to give you the download on all things Tomato Girl.
Think of the Tomato Girl as Cottagecore's chill, sun-kissed older cousin. Her style is rustic and a little kitschy, it's filled with bits of lace and veggie motifs, and she wears lots of muted reds, sage greens, and shades of cream (sort of like the colors of a Caprese salad). To achieve the vibe, incorporate vintage fruit prints, low-rise maxi skirts, and well-worn red sneakers into your wardrobe. As for accessories, silk scarves, canvas totes, and wicker baskets are perfect.
Ready to achieve all of your pasta-eating, headscarf-wearing, vacay-in-the-south-of-France dreams? Keep scrolling to shop our edit of all things Tomato Girl Summer. 🍅
This top combines two of our favorite things about Tomato Girl fashion: lace trim and breezy cotton. You can layer a bandeau underneath if you prefer a little more coverage.
You can tie this pretty scarf around the handle of your tote bag, secure it onto your ponytail, or even wear it around your neck for a very ~French Girl~ vibe.
This is just like all of your other favorite two-piece sets...except, like, 45x cooler thanks to the preppy stripes and boxy cut that's perfect for tossing over a bra top.
This camisole top is so stinkin' cute thanks to the little baby bow and delicate ruffle trim. Now all you need is a matching gingham picnic blanket, and you're set to film the world's most aesthetic IG Reel.
Wearing the color red is a massive part of the Tomato Girl aesthetic. There's something about this muted shade of red paired with the soft neckline that makes us want to eat antipasto in an open-air cafe, which is pretty much exactly the vibe of the Tomato Girl.
Two words: food prints. You'll need something to carry around your picnic food and those records you bought at the local outdoor market, so snag a reusable totes with little doodles of your favorite dishes on the front.
