“Tomboy style” has seen endless interpretations. Icons like Katherine Hepburn and modern models of androgyny like Agyness Deyn have taken on, and conquered, this look. It’s cool, quirky, fun and flattering. And this fall, it’s a trend worth trying.
A chic school boy blazer is a must for unleashing your inner tomboy. Menswear pieces are ideal for dressing up or down, and can be incorporated into looks ranging from punk to princess. Pair a blazer with a boyfriend jean and a casual tank for a cool California look or elevate your ordinary evening attire with sleek suiting.
As with any trend, accessories make the outfit! For a tomboy looks that’s playful and polished, top off your ensemble with a newsboy cap. A menswear inspired shoe is sexy when a stacked heel, or a cool loafer, is an option. Take the trend to your wrist by rocking a masculine, oversized timepiece. It’s confident and powerful without giving up the sparkle!
Tomboy style’s appeal comes from its ‘anything goes’ approach: There is no rule that says you have to go all in, but there’s no reason not to either! “It girls” are wearing slouchy-sexy with full-on tomboy looks like Kristen Stewart or adding just an element of edge to femme frocks, like Alexa Chung.
Wherever you fall on the spectrum, have fun, mix it up and give your stylish “bros” a run for their money!
