Bright, colorful containers and Mediterranean vibes have catapulted tinned fish to viral success on TikTok. Like the popular strawberry and tomato aesthetics of summers past, the trendy food has moved beyond the kitchen table to clothes, accessories, and even home decor (yes, tin-fish candles are, in fact, a thing). All signs point to a full-blown sardine girl summer, so you'll want to grab it-items from brands like Staud, Anthropologie, and Reformation before they sell out.
While some are calling the trend a sign of recession fashion (we'll let you go down that rabbit hole), we say it's just too cute to pass up. Even literal vegetarians on the Cosmo fashion team are taking part. To help you nail the look, we've rounded up 25 of our favorite tin-fish finds, including graphic tees, charm necklaces, peel-and-stick wallpaper, phone cases, sardine-handle bags, and so much more. And because no sardine girl summer is complete without some actual tinned fish, we threw in a few standout cans, too.
