Tomboy Style



I know it's more of a fall/winter thing, but I need to bring up tomboy style. I've always loved the Diane Keaton look, menswear on women and loose, comfortable sportswear... but it wasn't until Tomboy Style came out (the blog/book by Lizzie Garrett Mettler) that I finally knew what to call this easy and adorable style. 

Tomboy style is truly meant to be easy. Throw on some slacks, dress shoes and a hat, minimal make up and bed head, and of course confidence, and you're good to go. Trying to hard just defeats the purpose.

To achieve this style you really only need a few things: A great pair of slacks, menswear dress shoes or boots, bulky sweaters, hats, button downs, anything menswear related and a great leather bag. Keep these items neutral, and you'll make getting dressed in the morning as easy and quick as brushing your teeth. 

I recently came home with a few perfect tomboy style items...
