It’s Tomato Girl Summer! From cottagecore to the coquette aesthetic, we’ve seen numerous fashion trends go viral on TikTok — but TGS might be our favorite yet.
Tomato Girl Summer doesn’t imply contracting a painful sunburn or eating caprese salads and sandwiches every day (though it fits in well with the latter). It’s more about a coastal, Mediterranean vibe. It’s romantic yet carefree. It’s season two of The White Lotus… without the drama. It’s light and breezy — but sometimes bold. It’s giving summer rom-com main character energy!
Get a better handle on the trend with our picks below — all marked down in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale right now!
