If you are a girl who likes to dress simply, avoiding too many pink things and too much makeup, consider the tomboy look. This article explains in detail which clothes, shoes and accessories are indispensable for this style.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Part One: Get dressed
Step 1. Take advantage of the kids' section of clothing stores
If you want to dress up as a tomboy, you need to go to the source. Try browsing boys' clothes. Look for t-shirts with text and prints, and wrinkled shirts. Your clothes will most likely fit a little baggy on you, but that's okay. Choose things you like and try them out. If they're really huge, you can try tweaking them.
There are some great shops that have unisex clothes, such as those of the big brands. Look for clothes that can be worn by both boys and girls
Step 2. Choose some shirts
Comfortable and loose shirts are the basis of the tomboy style. Cotton shirts in boyish colors (forest green, navy, gray, black, brown etc) are a must-have - they look good with just about anything.
You should also buy t-shirts with band names, pictures of skateboards, skulls, or more - they're all dressed up as a tomboy. You can also look for t-shirts with sarcastic and funny images or text
Step 3. Wear pants instead of skirts
There is no need to abandon skirts completely, but girls who dress up as a tomboy recognize themselves precisely because they don't use skirts or dresses. Instead, wear comfortable, boyish pants. Some stores sell trousers with a men's cut, but fit a girl's body. Tight skater pants, ripped jeans, and sweatpants are all good options for girls who want a tomboy look. Black and opaque leggings are also great!
If for some reason you are forced to wear a skirt, pair it with leggings, Converse, and a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite group. In this way the femininity of the skirt will be attenuated
Step 4. When it's hot, use shorts
Not some very short Daisy Duke shorts: wear loose pants that come just above the knee. Shorts in an elastic fabric are perfect for running.
Step 5. Don't forget the plaid
Plaid is a unisex fabric that looks good on a large number of dresses. It is a fantastic material because it can be worn both as a shirt and as a light jacket. Put on a pair of jeans, a plain cotton shirt, a long-sleeved plaid jacket and you're ready to go.
Step 6. Hoodies are great too
They are a must for the tomboy style. Zip sweatshirts are perfect for those who live in colder areas. Buy yourself a plain, dark colored sweatshirt (black goes well with everything) and you will soon understand that you will never be able to do without it. If it's hot, tie it around your waist for a perfect tomboy look.
Also try wearing cardigans. They are great for the winter. Pair them with suitable jeans and you'll look great
Step 7. Wear sports clothes
If jeans aren't your thing, wear sweatpants and t-shirts. Even better, wear clothes with your favorite team's logo and colors. Tomboy girls can match up with boys in sports. Why not do it also in the look?
Buy a sweatshirt with your favorite team's logo for the colder days
Step 8. Wear things that make you feel comfortable
In this section of the article we have presented some clothes that will give you the tomboy style, but being a tomboy means having the ability to wear what you want, and feel comfortable without thinking that you are unkempt., but you want to wear a little dress, then do it. The most important thing is this: remember to be yourself.
Method 2 of 3: Part Two. Shoes
Step 1. Buy some sneakers
Being a tomboy also means being able to run easily. For this reason, high heels are to be avoided. Instead, choose comfortable and beautiful sneakers. Keep in mind, when buying shoes, this simple rule: if they are not comfortable for running, then they are not good tomboy shoes.
Among the brands that make beautiful sneakers are DC, Nike, Adidas, Converse, Airwalk and more
Step 2. Shoes without laces are fine too
Brands like Vans, Toms and others make beautiful shoes that are comfortable and suitable for running.
Look for shoes that have checkers, skulls, animals, band logos, tribal art markings, etc
Step 3. Try on the high-necked sneakers
One of the most classic ways to achieve the tomboy look is to wear Converse sneakers. There are in different colors and heights, from the lowest to the highest.
To make your shoes even more interesting, replace the regular white laces with colored laces. You can find them in many accessory stores
Method 3 of 3: Part Three: Accessories and Hair
Step 1. Put on hats
Baseball ones are generally the best way to complete your tomboy look. They serve both to show who your favorite team is, and for a whole lot of other things: they protect your eyes from the sun, rain, dirt, and hair. Unless you choose to wear it backwards. You can also try on hats in borsalino or rapper hats.
Step 2. Avoid wearing flashy jewelry
Indeed, it is better to avoid jewelry in general, especially if you play sports. If you have pierced ears, use small earrings that don't hang down. As for the necklaces, you can choose simple objects, such as a shell or a coin tied with a leather cord. You can tuck them under your shirt while you run, and they are generally unisex.
If you like to wear bracelets, avoid bracelets that are too flashy. Try leather or plastic bracelets, which you can buy at accessory stores
Step 3. Keep your hair lifted
Ponytails are best for running. A braid is also great, as it helps keep hair away from the face while playing sports. Having hair this way will allow you to shoot without worrying about having hair over your eyes.
Step 4. Bring your hair short
Of course, only do this if you really want to (and if your parents let you). Having short hair is great for sports. Wear a headband to keep a few loose strands from getting into your eyes.
Advice
- Being a tomboy isn't just about your clothes, your personality is involved too! Play games, play sports, climb trees, be independent, etc.
- If you go out to eat somewhere nice, and you don't want to wear a dress or something too feminine, a pair of pants and a simple top will always work.
- However, you can always wear some clothes that are a bit feminine.
