Let's Talk About...The Tomato Girl Aesthetic
Ah yes, another day, another TikTok aesthetic to talk about. It feels like there is always a new one popping up and I’ll admit they are kinda fun. They are a way of expanding your style and becoming the main character of your life in a new story arc almost. When the Tomato Girl Aesthetic crossed my eyeballs online, I could not believe it was an actual thing, but the more I learned about it the more I could get behind it. The Tomato Girl aesthetic is similar to Cottagecore but with a Mediterranean twist. We are talking that whole slow and simple European coastal country vibe. Windswept hair, bronzed skin, and of course those tomato-inspired scents, patterns, and colors.
The Tomato Girl aesthetic is perfect for summer because it’s effortless and easy to replicate. The Tomato Girl is carefree and definitely visiting those trendy destinations like Amalfi that have been all over our Instagram feeds the past couple of weeks. She enjoys reading a good book on the beach, dining on pasta and the freshest of salads, and, of course, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. The rise in Tomato Girl can be traced to the popularity of White Lotus and the effortless nature of summer. What I love about the Tomato Girl Aesthetic is how it channels the colors, patterns, and feel of my family’s homeland. All of the patterns I saw on my grandmother’s tapestries and dishes are now hitting the fabric. The whole thing just makes me want to make my grandfather’s tomato salad and enjoy a relaxing afternoon poolside.
Without being able to visit the Mediterranean it’s simple to bring the vibe home. It’s all about simplicity, natural makeup, and enjoying all of what life has to offer. As far as clothing, it is just as natural and easy. Think of finding all the treasures while looking in grandma’s closet or even while vintage shopping. The Tomato Girl Aesthetic is all about a chic Italian summer. The Sofia Loren oversized sunglasses and firey red fabrics type of vibe. Linens, wedges, and definitely a dress ready for twirling.
