Tomboy, but girly

Embracing a tomboy style while keeping it girly is all about mixing contrasts that complement each other. For example, oversized vintage t-shirts are a staple in tomboy fashion because of their relaxed, boxy silhouette. But to add a feminine and flattering touch, a side tuck can transform the look entirely, defining your waist subtly and balancing the loose fit. When it comes to bottoms, jorts or denim shorts like the AYR The Sure Sure Shorts bring an edgy vibe to the outfit. These shorts are especially great for summer, offering both style and comfort. Their cut and design lend a relaxed yet confident energy that matches the tomboy aesthetic perfectly. Footwear is where the girly twist comes into play. Classic Mary Jane flats, such as Dolce Vita’s, are ideal for injecting femininity without overdoing it. These flats soften the bold, baggy elements and add a polished finish. The balance between edgy and feminine elements makes this style versatile for various summer activities, from casual hangouts to more styled day outings. In my own experience, combining these elements creates an outfit that feels authentic and comfortable while still looking intentional. Accessorizing minimally keeps the focus on these key pieces — for example, a simple pendant or small hoop earrings can enhance the style without overpowering it. This approach lets you showcase your unique personality through fashion, proving that tomboy doesn’t mean sacrificing fun or femininity.
