Tomboy Fashion Trend
Our Guide To The Best Tomboy Pieces – SS12
At Chloe’s Spring Summer 2012 show, Clare Waight Keller’s boy meets girl collection juxtaposed fiercely feminine Broderie Anglaise with wide-legged, technicolour trousers to give the tomboy trend a different dimension. Follow suit and scour the high street for summery shirts – embellished collars, floral prints and cut-out detailing will give androgynous trousers feminine appeal.
Soften boyish styling by nailing the Chloe girls’ carefree approach to beauty - coiff locks into waves and curls and finish flawless foundation with a smattering of peach powder on cheeks.
Ticking off the tomboy look with turn-ups and a chunky waistband, these pleat-front trousers from New York label Alice + Olivia have been given a feminine twist with coral coloured silk.
Keep the rest of your look low-key - chunky heeled sandals, a plain white tee and long-layered necklaces will offset their boyish charm beautifully.
A Red wardrobe favourite for its clean, pared-down lines, high street store Cos has nailed the tomboy trend this season. A sartorial staple, the store’s boxy blazer will give denim jeans, pencil skirts and other wardrobe basics a masculine spin.
Team with everyday accessories in similarly muted tones for added polish.
A clear high street hit this summer, smoking style slippers make the perfect partner to the boyish look. Supremely affordable, this studded style from Zara will look equally chic worn with tailored trousers or paired with pencil skirts.
For dress down days, team with boyfriend style white jeans and a classic t-shirt to work the tomboy trend into your weekend wardrobe.
When channelling tomboy dressing, the draw is in the details. With their figure-flattering wide legs and drawstring waistband, these linen trousers from Eskander are top of our fashion hit list.
Keep your upper half streamlined – a form-fitting vest or a classic t-shirt cut to showcase your shape is the best style to select.
Famed for her hyper-feminine wrap dresses, it was no surprise to see Diane Von Furstenberg tackling the tomboy trend with a pastel palette peppered with masculine everyday accessories.
Take heed and try teaming tailored pieces in sugary shades with boyish brogues, portfolio oversized clutches and skinny waist belts. Accessorise with long layered necklaces to add a shot of girly glamour.
The tomboy trend is all about an androgynous aesthetic – with their boyish cut and pale salmon shade, Mango’s smocked waist trousers embody the boy meets girl fashion trend.
Tuck in a printed shirt to give the boyish cut feminine appeal and add spiky high heels to take you from boardroom to bar.
Finished with a playful pocket, Boy. by Band of Outsider’s cotton blend shirt is your fastrack pass to tomboy chic.
Cut like a carbon copy of your other half’s office shirt, add polish with white jeans and sky high heels, or tuck into tailored city shorts and sport with wooden wedges to lengthen legs.
As spotted backstage at Diane Von Furstenberg’s spring summer 2012 show, oversized clutches are the new way to tote your every day essentials while simultaneously softening tailored trews and boyish blazers.
Add ASOS’ buttery soft portfolio clutch to your accessory arsenal – whether you sport your wide legged trousers with high heels or flat pumps, a masculine-inspired bag will keep you looking glam on the go.
With its mannish jacquard print, Warehouse’s boyfriend blazer offers an affordable, yet super stylish, way to tap into the trend.
Give your weekend denim jeans and classic t-shirt a boyish edge or sport over a white office shirt and skinny black trousers to give your work wardrobe a mannish feel.
