Tomato Girl Summer

Tomato Girl Summer

You heard it here seventh: Tomato Girl Summer is in full swing. It can be hard to keep tabs on the dizzying wheel of opaque seasonal microtrends – Hot Girl Summer! Soft Girl Summer! Adam Sandler Summer? – but the latest iteration caught our attention.

Technically, Tomato Girl Summer is less about the vegetable (tomatoes are a vegetable, this is the hill I will die on) and more about looking like you're perpetually on an expensive and carefree vacation along the Mediterranean coast. Crisp summer whites, silk hair scarves, dark sunglasses, Aperol spritzes – think White Lotus season 2, without the murder or adultery.

We're pro European beach vacation, even a pretend one, and we're certainly pro dressing for the occasion, but mostly we're pro tomato. If, like the majority of us, your Tomato Girl Summer is more conference call than Capri, feel free to lean in as we are: with this extremely easy, delicious - dare we say transportive - tomato tart using the best of the season's starring vegetable (fight me!!). It's easy, it's cheesy, it's tomato-y, and it's the star of our Tomato Girl Summer, at least until the next theme arrives. Salute!
