My Desi Twist on the Tomato Girl Aesthetic
5 Ways to Live the Tomato Girl Summer (with a Desi Twist)
If you're looking to embrace the Tomato Girl aesthetic with a desi flare this Summer, look no further than these six unique ways below. From making Marigold Pasta or adorning your hands with aesthetic mehndi designs, there's a little something for everyone in the mix.
Add a Floral Dress to Your Wardrobe
Nothing encapsulates the Tomato Girl aesthetic quite like a charming floral dress. Choose one with red or orange blooms, such as this stylish dress from the renowned Indian brand Summer Somewhere, to fully immerse yourself in the essence of Tomato Girl summer vibes.
Try Tomato Girl Henna
You might be wondering, "What exactly is Tomato Girl Henna?" Truth be told, I just made it up. But in all seriousness, try to experiment with distinct Henna designs, like those featuring vine leaves and playful Italian-inspired details, for a unique and refreshing Tomato Girl twist. I made this henna design using henna from Neha. It’s a little darker than usual but it comes in a tube that’s easy to apply for henna amateurs (like me).
Pluck Flowers From Your Garden
There’s something wholesome about plucking flowers from a garden and creating your own floral arrangements. I love adding fresh plucked flowers to my hair for a tomato girl twist. If you don’t have access to a garden, you can always explore your local flower markets to live the Tomato Girl Summer.
Wear Neck Scarves with Kurtas
Add a European summer touch to your Kurtas by pairing it with a colourful neck scarf. This look is sure to turn heads without breaking the bank.
Make Marigold Pasta
Tomato girl summer wouldn’t be complete without making your own pasta and pairing it with a tangy tomato sauce. Add a desi touch to your ravioli or pasta by adding marigold flowers (made with Turmeric) or anything that reminds you of your motherland. So go on, it’s time to get out that old pasta machine or invest in a new one.
Incorporating the tomato girl aesthetic with a desi twist adds a vibrant burst of colour and flavour to your summer experience. Embrace the boldness of red and yellow, the richness of Indian fabrics, and the tantalising aroma of traditional spices. Whether it's decking yourself out in tomato-inspired attire, creating mouthwatering desi dishes with fresh tomatoes, or simply enjoying the sun-kissed sweetness of a juicy tomato straight from your garden, let this fusion of aesthetics awaken your senses and transport you to a world where European summer and desi flavours collide. Don't let the season slip away without indulging in the tomato girl aesthetic (with a desi twist).
