The Tomboy style is extremely liberating for a woman who cherishes her boldness and is not afraid to show it. The style characterizes a woman who loves to take control, yet at the same time, is ready to kick back and relax into the comforts of her powerful, sexy self.

Associated with the low-key yet trendy, this androgynous style plays a lot with wide Technicolor trousers, blazers, vests, summery shirts with embellished collars, pockets, loafers, converses, ripped jeans, t-shirts, printed and office shirts.

The trick is to merge feminine sex appeal with the calm hardness of masculinity. Pairing summery shirts with embellished collars, floral prints with androgynous trousers would establish the seductive feminine yet masculine strength.

A white office shirt paired with skinny black trousers, accessorized with a loose tie and strapping heels or gladiator heels would give your work wardrobe a mannish feel.

When channelling tomboy dressing, the draw is in the details. With figure-flattering wide legs and drawstring waistbands, keep your upper half streamlined with a form-fitting vest to showcase your curves.

A vested office shirt with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans adds a masculine spin to a feminine twirl. Tuck in a printed shirt to give the boyish cut and feminine appeal, and add spiky high heels to take you from boardroom to bar.

For dress down days, it’s immensely comfortable and equally trendy to throw on a pair of boyish brogues like loafers or converses with ripped jeans, or shorts, and loose shirts which show off a little shoulder.

Or simply tuck a plain T into tailored city shorts and sport with wooden wedges to lengthen legs. Team with boyfriend style white jeans and a classic t-shirt to work the tomboy trend into your weekend wardrobe.

Accessorize with oversized clutches, hats, hoodies, skinny waist belts, long-layered necklace (for girlish glamour), or statement pieces and you’re good to go!
