Take dark colors like navy blue, brown, and forest green and incorporate them into your outfit! You can wear trousers paired with a button up shirt and bulky jacket. Chic it up with a cool accessory like a hat! This is just one of many street style ways to look tomboy chic.
2. Business

If you like feeling comfy/looking like a powerful woman, you can create a tomboy business chic outfit! Pair a white tee with some black trousers and then add some cream colored converse. I'm big on color coordinating so I'd try to make the blazer match the shoes!
3. Running Errands

For a classic, everyday look, keep things simple. Wear some distressed, oversized jeans and pair it with a delicate, girly tank top. It's the best of both worlds right there!
4. Pant Suit

This is another take on #2, the business look. If you're wearing a pant suit, you can easily tone down the look. Do this by pairing your blazer with a loose tee! For the shoes, nothing screams out tomboy chic like converse. You can also add accessories like sunglasses and/or a beanie!
5. Snapbacks

You don't have to steal your boyfriend's snapback to achieve this look. You can buy your own from us.asos.com! You can pair the hat with oversized pieces like a sweater! That's the "tomboy" half of your outfit... chic it up with girly pieces like accessories and a skirt!
6. Casual

Take menswear inspired pieces like a collared shirt and bow tie and give it your own preppy flare. I love a tailored outfit because it can hug your body in all the right places - embrace those curves! To recreate the look, pair your collared shirt/bow-tie with a tailored blazer and patterned shorts or pants!
8. Suspenders
