‘Grocery Girl Fall’ is TikTok’s latest style and home trend

TikTokkers are entering the new season with a new trend: “grocery girl.”

Tomato Girl summer is turning into Grocery Girl fall, expanding to all produce items and bringing decor inspired by fruits, veggies and condiments into the home.

While grocery- and food-inspired styles aren’t a new thing, they’re no longer seen as shabby. Instead, it’s a trend and aesthetic adopted by everyone from Gen Z’ers on TikTok to popular brands to celebrities such as Sophie Turner and Blake Lively, as reported by the Zoe Report.

The search for “food-inspired decorations” on TikTok has 666.9 million views — and it’s only growing.

The grocery home trend is a mixture of all kinds of items, such as food-shaped candles, the Corn Stool — made famous by Emma Chamberlain’s 2022 Architectural Digest home tour — an Oreo stool and, well, a large variety of stools. Seriously, so many stools.

But it’s not all bright fruit and veggies — people are gravitating toward quirky and unusual items as well, because who wouldn’t want a fried-chicken candle or a “cake object“?

TikToker @kaarinjoy is an interior designer who makes a lot of DIY items based on any food you could possibly think of, and she’s at the front line of the grocery girl home trend.

With 2.1 million followers and 85.4 million likes on her videos, Kaarin Joy’s viral creations have sparked inspiration across the platform.

She’s made things people would never think of, such as an ice cream cone planter, a giant Cosmic Brownie decoration, a Fruit Loop cereal bowl and a cake lamp.

People are also donning food-inspired clothes and accessories, such as watermelon purses and pasta-print dresses, partly as a way to express themselves, since the specific food one chooses to wear is more representative of a person’s personality than stripes or dots. Anyone in the mood for some shrimp cocktail earrings?

Fashion designers are embracing the food prints as well. Rachel Antonoff even has an entire “Edibles” collection, complete with pasta prints, coffee sweaters and Aperol spritz dresses.

Whether you want your home to resemble your “girl dinner” or if you just want to add a little flavor to your space, the Grocery Girl aesthetic is the perfect trend to hop on.
