Looking for a way to spice up your summer wardrobe? Then may I refer you to the latest look to flood the style scene: tomato girl.
With over 3.7 million views on TikTok, the ‘tomato girl’ style is becoming one of the most popular trends of the season. And it’s not just the young social media fashionistas wearing it; celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Kate Moss and model Emily Ratajkowski also spin tomato.
So what the hell is it? As the name implies, the tomato girl aesthetic involves wearing lots of hot red, but that’s just the beginning.
Inspired by the Mediterranean, this look is all about channeling La Dolce Vita in sun-kissed colors, romantic ruffles, vintage prints and easy breezy fabrics.

A linen shirt provides a chic cover up around the pool and can be paired with shorts when sightseeing. Be guided by actress Sydney Sweeney, star of Euphoria and The Handmaid’s Tale, and add a silk headscarf and oversized sunglasses.
For those with summer weddings on the agenda, do like the Marchioness of Bath, Emma Weymouth, and reach for a splashy floral-print dress (hers was Dolce and Gabbana; try Reformation for something cheaper).
