TOMBOY

Tomboy is a style that carries elements of the traditionally male, 'boyish' wardrobe into a woman's look for the sake of freedom, comfort and effortless confidence. Its marks: wide jeans and trousers, oversized shirts and T-shirts, sneakers and boots, bombers, caps, minimal décor and make-up, a restrained palette. Tomboy rejects emphasised 'femininity' in favour of ease, practicality and character. It is not about hiding femininity but about another facet of it — bold, free and self-sufficient. The style echoes the androgynous current but remains relaxed and everyday. Jane Birkin, Patti Smith and modern street-style heroines became icons of the tomboy. Tomboy is a style of independence and comfort, in which a woman wears what is comfortable and what she herself likes, rather than what is expected of her.
