'Borrowed from the Boys' items to nail tomboy-chic style

1. BRO-INSPIRED BROGUES

Perfect leather brogues in black or tobacco brown, either regular sole or slight platform. Extra points for laceless and patent. I wear mine with knee-length dresses, pencil skirts, everything.

2. THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND JEAN 

Distressed, borrowed from the boys denim – cinched with a big chunky belt – à la late eighties, early nineties. Pair it with a bodysuit top or something fitted for contrast. Paris has never really let go of this look.

3. VEST IS BEST

A dark suiting vest. I find mine in the boys department of high end children’s shops. This concept can easily be feminized alongside a full skirt or with a Victorian-style blouse underneath.

The perfect white shirt! Choose right-now touches like exaggerated cuff lengths or puffed sleeves for a fresh twist on the original.

5. RED LIP

A red lip and perfectly done-undone hair. If you want to still look effortless and like a woman, a matte red day-to-night lip will give you that creased sheets mystery. And a relaxed mane will tell the world you’re still one sexy tomboy.
