The vibes are immaculate.

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. 🍅
