It would not be a * checks calendar * Friday if we weren’t being inundated with a brand-new viral TikTok fashion pattern. Fortunately, the Tomato Girl visual, TikTok’s newest design fascination with over 3.7 million views, is best for summer. Unlike Coastal Cowgirl or Barbiecore, Tomato Girl is more of a vibe than a pattern that calls for specific clothes or a stringent color combination. Read on to learn how to dress like a Tomato Girl (spoiler alert: You do not require to use intense red), and see what other produce-forward looks we think might take over the internet next.
What Is the Tomato Girl Aesthetic?
The Tomato Girl aesthetic, remarkably, has extremely little to do with the fruit itself, and more to do with the culture we most closely connect with fresh, rupturing tomatoes. In fact, a glance at the Tomato Girl hashtag on TikTok will reveal you as many, if not more, dishes for Mediterranean stews rupturing with fresh tomatoes than clothing to reproduce.
The retro, dreamy ambiance pulls inspiration from the sights you may see on a vacay in a charming town on the Italian coast: sun-warmed cobblestones, scoops of gelato eaten outside a captivating terracotta coffee shop, blue and white tile mosaics, and so on. The retro ambiance is so decidedly and particularly Mediterranean that you ‘d be forgiven for questioning if the tomato girlies aren’t just providing Amalfi Coast dressing a seasonal rebrand.
Considering that this visual is influenced by seaside living (or, more accurately, a Pinterest-perfect idea of seaside living) a number of the clothing that fit the Tomato Girl bill have already been trending. Light-weight sun gowns, delicately embroidered linen separates, raffia accessories, and vintage gold fashion jewelry all in shape comfortably under the Tomato Girl umbrella (which we assume is a striped beach umbrella). In play: crochet, silk scarves, ditzy florals, and gingham. While there’s no stringent color palette, sun-warmed earth tones, pottery-inspired blues and whites, and soft reds are commonly identified in Tomato Girl aesthetic posts.
Not charmed by the Tomato Girl ambiance? In the meantime, we’ve rounded (and dreamed) up a couple of more foodie-inspired trends for any fashion girlies with tomato allergies.
Potato Girl Aesthetic
A round of applause for Elle Fanning, please. On Wednesday, July 6, Fanning shared a ‘fit on her Instagram Stories cheekily captioned “Potato Girl Summer.” The look, featuring light-weight summer layers in velvety linen, was definitely potato-colored, minus the bumpy starch of it all. Fanning’s wide-leg trousers, removed button-down, and full-length trench were luxe, customized, and decadent. They also got us considering what foods may usurp “hot” next when it concerns declaring summertime the season of the * pick a food * woman.
Lemon Girl Aesthetic
Romantic and a bit tart, the lemon lady aesthetic could certainly be the next one to take off. Image it: the vibe is coastal so you can recycle any Almafi Coast, Coastal Cowgirl, or even Farmcore aesthetic pieces you’ve already got on hand. While you’re at it, why not include a lemon-printed sundress or cover skirt?
Cherry Girl Aesthetic
We know what you’re believing: How is a Cherry Girl summertime various than a Tomato Girl summer? For starters, we visualize Cherry Girls sticking standard closet staples in tones of cherry red (see: Hailey Bieber). Their summer season go-tos would most likely include micro-bikinis, slip gowns, and cut-off jean shorts.
