What Is The Tomato Girl Aesthetic?
Move over Coconut Girls, Coastal Cowgirls, and Coastal Grandmothers! So, what is the Tomato Girl Aesthetic? Basically, it is bringing back the idea of “la dolce vita” – it’s all about romanticized European summers filled with days swimming in the Mediterranean sea, reading a good book on the beach, dining on pasta, & twirling around in a beautiful dress. Whether you are heading to Italy this season or not, you can channel the aesthetic easily by turning to fiery tomato red clothing, oversized sunglasses, linen sets, romantic corsets, & graphic floral prints. Think Sofia Loren, a chic Italian summer, and very effortlessly feminine. Here are the clothing staples you will want to rock if you are going for the look.

It can’t be a Tomato Girl Summer without a tomato-red dress! Opt for very feminine pieces, like sweetheart necklines, puff sleeves, and even corset styles.
Cat-Eye/Round Sunglasses
As mentioned above, the cat eye sunglasses shape trending for the season. It adds the perfect vintage touch to any look.
