If you are a girl who prefers a simple look instead of wearing pink shorts and a face full of makeup, you might consider trying a tomboy look. This article describes in detail the types of inner and outer clothing, shoes, and accessories that are used to look tomboyish.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Clothes
Step 1. Take the opportunity to visit a shop that sells men's clothing
If you want to look like someone who is a tomboy, you should at least check the source. Go to your favorite store that specializes in men's clothing and look carefully at each shelf. Look for shirts that have graphics and types of clothes that seem messy. This type of clothing will look a little loose on your body, but that's not a bad thing. Choose the clothes you like and try them on. If the clothes are too big, you can always change the size.
Some other stores that have a wide selection of unisex clothing include Reebok, Hot Topic, and Tillys. Look for clothes that can be worn by both men and women
Step 2. Select some t-shirts
Loose and comfortable T-shirts are the main basic aspect of the tomboy style. Cotton shirts in colors that are generally worn by men (forest green, dark blue, gray, black, brown, dark red, etc.) are a must-have and easy to match with any type of clothing.
You should also buy some stylish T-shirts. T-shirts with band names, skater themes, and skulls (among other styles) are considered tomboyish clothing. You can also search for T-shirts with sarcastic or funny images or with a combination of words
Step 3. Choose trousers over skirts
Although you don't need to get rid of all the skirts you have, the tomboy style is often distinguished by not using skirts or dresses. Someone with a tomboy style tends to wear cool and comfortable trousers that look like a man's appearance. Shops like Gap sell 'Boyfriend' trousers which have a cut like men's pants but fit a woman's body. Tight trousers, jeans that seem messy or with a boot cut, and athletic pants are good choices for women who want to look tomboyish. Black and dull leggings are also suitable for tomboyish style clothing.
If you have to wear a skirt for some reason, pair it with leggings, converse shoes, sans and a t-shirt with the logo of your favorite band. This addition will reduce the feminine impression found in the skirt
Step 4. Wear shorts when the weather is hot
In addition to wearing small Daisy Duke shorts, try wearing short jeans that look messy or longer shorts that sit slightly above the knee. Shorts made of stretchy or athletic material (such as beach pants) are great for running.
Step 5. Wear clothes with tartan material
Tartan is a unisex fabric that can be used as an add-on that goes well with most outfits. Tartan is an amazing material because it can be worn as a shirt or light jacket. Put on your favorite jeans, plain cotton t-shirt, long sleeve shirt in tartan and you are good to go.
Step 6. Put on the hoodie
Hoodie is a staple for a tomboy look. A zip-up hoodie and a long-sleeved sweater are the perfect outfit for a tomboy to wear in cold weather. Get a plain hoodie in a dark color (black goes well with anything) and you'll quickly realize you can't live without it. If you feel stifling, tie a hoodie around your waist for a cool and tomboyish look.
You should also try a cardigan or two. The schoolboy cardigan is also a great outfit to wear when the weather is cold. Pair the cardigan with hip pants or boyfriend jeans for a sweet tomboy look
Step 7. Wear sporty clothes
If you don't like jeans, wear sweatpants and a t-shirt for an easier outfit to run around. It would be better if you wear sports clothes that symbolize your favorite team. A tomboy can compete with men in sports. Why not dress like that too?
Wear a long-sleeved sweater with the logo of your favorite sports team on cold days
Step 8. Wear what makes you feel comfortable
While this article lists different ways to look tomboyish, basically being a tomboy means having the confidence to wear what you want and feel comfortable without feeling like you're lazy and unkempt. If you think of yourself as a tomboy, but you still want to wear a dress, then go for it. The most important thing you need to remember is to be yourself.
Part 2 of 3: Shoes
Step 1. Buy some athletic shoes
Part of being a tomboy is being able to run around easily, which means not wearing high heels. Instead, choose to use sneakers that are comfortable and cool. One good rule of thumb when buying shoes is to remember that if you can't run in them, they're not the best shoes for a tomboy.
Brands that produce cool sneakers include DC, Vans, Nike, Adidas, Converse, Etnies, Airwalk and Supras, and other brands
Step 2. Swap your flat shoes for slip-ons
Brands like Vans and Toms, and several other brands, produce great slip-ons with designs that are cool, comfortable, and can still be used for running.
Look for flip-ons with plaid patterns, skulls, funky animal designs, band logos, tribal art, etc
Step 3. Try on some high-top sneakers
One of the classic tomboy looks is a pair of Converse sneakers. This sneaker comes in a variety of colors and heights from low-cut to high-top.
To add extra boldness to your shoes, replace plain white laces with funky laces. You can buy it at an accessory store near you
Part 3 of 3: Hair Accessories and Style
Step 1. Use a hat
Wearing a baseball cap is basically the best way to maximize your tomboy look. Not only because it can show your favorite team, the hat also has various other functions such as avoiding the sun, rain, and hair that irritates the eyes, unless you wear the hat upside down. You can also use several other types of hats such as fedoras and beanies.
Step 2. Avoid wearing jewelry that is too flashy
In fact, it's better to avoid wearing jewelry, especially if you're exercising. If you wear ear accessories, use studs or earrings that are smaller than long earrings (which tend to be associated with a feminine appearance.) For necklaces, choose simple objects such as seashells or coins strung on leather straps.. Necklaces like these can be tucked into clothes while running and can be worn by both men and women.
If you wear a bracelet, avoid the glittery type of bracelet. Choose a bracelet made of leather or plastic that can be purchased at an accessory store such as Hot Topic
Step 3. Tie your hair up
Ponytails and half ponytails are great choices when running around. French braids are also a good option to keep your hair from covering your face when you're exercising. By tying your hair up, you can run fast without having to worry about hair getting in your eyes.
Step 4. Cut your hair short
Of course, this is only done if you really want to (and if your parents allow it.) If you have short hair for sports, use a headband to keep your bangs or strands out of your eyes.
Tips
- Being a tomboy is not just about dressing, it's about your personality too! Playing games, sports, climbing trees, defending yourself, etc.
- If you're out to eat somewhere fun, and you don't want to wear a dress or something feminine, you can wear trousers with a nice top.
- You can still wear clothes that are slightly feminine in style.
- Exercise and be active! Join school extracurriculars, such as sports teams. Associating with men, they are very easy to make friends with, and usually don't hold grudges. You can joke with them, and get away! Hope this will help.
- Use round sunglasses.
- Use loose-fitting sweatpants.
- Use wrist bands.
