Add To Cart: Tom Boy Femme
By Alice Almeida
The TomBoy Femme aesthetic came here to stay! It's about a sporty look with feminine details to elevate it. Both comfortable and stylish, what else could you ask for?
The TomBoy Femme label emerged in queer communities in the 1990s and 2000s to describe the mix of traditional perceptions of the female and masculine gender. It is a way for women to outwardly express themselves as they feel their identity to be without having to conform to a rigid gender role. This trend became stronger due to a long history of tomboyism mixed with current pushes for gender fluidity and freedom. Some of the characteristics of the trend include mixing baggy pants, button-downs, and sneakers with more feminine items such as skirts, dresses, and makeup. Another way of expressing this aesthetic is having a short or messy hairstyle that is more commonly seen in boys with a feminine touch like jewelry or nail polish. Now, you must be wondering where you can find such a style. Closer than you think, Bella Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Rosalía have all been seen rocking it walking in the street. It's great because you can explore both your feminine and masculine style whilst showing your individuality through your clothes. All of this whilst being comfortable, what else could a girl ask for?
Outfit #1: Going Out
The TomBoy Femme Trend is the perfect excuse to be comfortable whilst going out. Edgy with feminine elements for an eye-catching look. The key is looking stylish whilst feeling confident in yourself.
Outfit #2: Brunch with the girls
Whilst having brunch with the girls you want to look good yet have a laid-back vibe. The baggy jeans and white t-shirt will ensure you're comfortable and the leather jacket will give you the cool touch the outfit was missing to stand out.
Outfit #3: Errands day
There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable on your errands day. The point is to go through all tasks without having to take a break because your feet hurt. There's no better option I can imagine other than a nice pair of jorts and a cute yet comfortable tee.
Outfit #4: Early Drinks
Early drinks call for those nice pants you've been looking for an occasion to wear. What better accessories to top it all with other than matching bags and belts? As a top, a white T-shirt is perfect to ensure a laid-back look whilst looking stylish.
Outfit #5: Summer day
For a tomboy femme summer day, nothing better than a loose shirt and jorts to set a casual, edgy tone. Then add some high knee cowboy style boots to add a touch of femininity and you’re set to enjoy the bright sun.
Outfit #6: Chill day
Nothing says more “chill day” than a pair of capri pants and a graphic tee. The perfect pairing of stylish yet comfortable items. Then to add a feminine touch add your favorite earrings and necklace.
