Men, by nature, are simple creatures. So when it comes to pulling off the tomboy-chic look, the first word that comes to mind is simplicity. Easy and effortless pieces that reflect a man’s carefree and adventurous persona. For the guys, minimalist comfort reigns above everything else.
Feeling inspired by the simplicity? Here are a few easy, chic and sleek menswear inspired looks.
Manly colors, like dark natural hues make for a spot-on color palette in a man’s wardrobe. Style the look further using chrome and faux leather accessories for that cool, edgy look. Another tomboy-chic staple piece is the ‘Boyfriend’ style bottom ; cut like men’s pants but fitted enough to snug a woman’s curves.
With the apparent lack of color being the key to creating a chic and sleek look, an all-black ensemble exudes a masculine vibe.
Nailing the tomboy chic look doesn’t mean you need to let go of feminine pieces such as dresses and skirts. Masculinity can be found in the little details such as an over sized watch or headwear such as a baseball cap pictured above.
Another word to describe the tomboy-chic look? Relaxed. When styled right, loose, comfortable tees are simple and effortless, perfect for a relaxed lifestyle.
Tomboy-chic combines masculine with sexy. This clever combination of a structured blazer paired with soft and feminine silhouettes is the perfect example of finding balance between boyish and girly.
The tomboy vibe is reinforced with a classic (untucked) button-down and loose, distressed boyfriend jeans.
This ensemble above oozes a trendy boyish style with neutral colors conjuring up a cool vibe. Moreover, many tomboy-chic looks are best paired with cool sneakers.
Tip: Vans, Nike, Onitsuka, New Balance among other brands offer cool sneaker options
