From jeans to jackets, shirts to shoes, it seems the most recent trend to capture our hearts involves robbing your boyfriend’s wardrobe. Thanks to Cara Delevingne and the Olsen twins, the tomboy look has been enjoying an unparalleled appeal of late. Although notably seen on the Paris and New York catwalks of 2010, this trend has found its way into our everyday casual wear, and rightly so.
Designers such as Kooples, Alexander Wang, and Band of Outsiders are great ambassadors of this look, but obviously come with a hefty price tag. Here are a few ways you can get those high fashion looks, for affordable prices.
As demonstrated by both Miss Olson and Rosie Whiteley above, the tomboy’s wardrobe only needs a few staple items that can be thrown together to make several different outfits. It seems a concurrent theme in recent trends that in order to be fashion forward one must look back. This is a fundamental rule when getting the tomboy look down to a ‘T’, take the likes of 90s Drew Barrymore and Gwen Stefani when finding inspiration. Or sit down for a cuppa and browse through ‘Tomboy Style: Beyond the Boundaries of Fashion,’ a coffee table book published by Rizzoli that offers the heritage of this ever evolving trend.
