HOW TO NAIL: TOMBOY FEMME

If entering a new era’s on your resolutions list, the TikTok-trending Tomboy Femme aesthetic’s a *very* good starting point. It’s all about elevating sporty cuts with subtle feminine details, prepping up casj combos and making retro staples a tad more modern 🏙 Just ask Bella Hadid, Rosalía and even Miss Kylie Jenner – they've all been sporting the look as of late. Keeping scrolling for all the styling goss 👇

The 🔑 to mastering this look is adding some preppy flair into every 'fit, and what screams prep more than the kind of knits you'd find on cricket pitches and country clubs? For an edgier take on this vibe, pick bold, contrasting colours and pair with with baggy jeans. It's a little 90s AND a little Y2K, we love it. 

The sporty spice keeps coming via football, rugby and zip-up track tops – the MVPs of Tomboy Femme. Complete the look with low-profile kicks like the adidas Sambas or PUMA Palermos, or, contrast the more masculine NRG up top with some chunky loafers and logo-heavy socks down below.

Sure, maaaaybe we’re pushing it with this tip during winter, but if you layer up with knits and jackets, shorts are a must for the vibe. Not just any shorts BTW, we’re talking knee-length, tailored cargo styles and the super-oversized jorts that ruled summer 2023. Will you still be wearing them this spring and summer? Absolutely. 

Y'know the satin midi you swore by in summer? We’re swapping those for pleated A-line shapes in EVERY length. Yup, school skirts are BACK (but better, obvs). Navy midis, tartan maxis and ginghams galore are perf adding ✨nostalgia✨ to any look. When we said Tomboy Femme was retro, we meant it 💼

Pick leather-look shoulder bags in office-approved hues and increase your sock stocks with frills, knee-high lengths and *very visible* logos 📈 Berets add a fun feminine touch, and don't forget some throwback glasses – whether they’re round and thick-rimmed or angular wire frames à la Miss Hadid – to seal the deal 📚
