embrace tomato girl summer in your home…with a dash of south asian spice 🍅🌞

What is Tomato Girl Summer, you ask? Well of course, it is TikTok’s latest fashion trend - after Coastal grandma or Saahili Dadi Jaan. Think of Tomato Girl as her fiery Temaatri Poti who went to Italy in the summer, became a content creator there, spent her days in breezy dresses and silk scarves, hosting picnics for her friends, reading novels at cafes, eating cheese and of course…tomatoes. 

Did we ever think we could base an aesthetic just off of fruit? Well, here it is. And even though it is popular on TikTok as a fashion trend, it truly is a whole lifestyle. It doesn’t mean that you have to wear prints with just tomatoes or paint your house only red. We’re going to show you how to do it right, with a dash of..spice, of course! The Temaatri Poti, although now in Sorrento, still feels very connected to her South Asian roots. And even though this trend is inspired by the Mediterranean coast or anywhere where tomato-based dishes are popular, these dishes mean nothing without some masala.

When you think of a Tomato Girl Summer color palette, think a nice, not too deep red, a dull citrusy yellow, cool blues and even deep vibrant blues. You can incorporate these colors as accents throughout your home, a playful rug, a red trim detail or incorporating color through a fun tile, a crochet blanket or bed spread, fish inspired art, beeswax candles.
