How to Dress Like a Tomboy

Tomboys are girls who embrace their boyish side by wearing casual clothes and engaging in activities that are typically reserved for boys. A tomboy doesn't have to spend a lot of money on clothes and can get ready quickly. Here is how to emulate their attire.

Instructions

1. Go to stores that carry casual clothing. When dressing like a tomboy, you don't need to spend a lot of money on clothes and can get most of your outfits from thrift stores and discount retailers.

2. Wear t-shirts and jeans. Your shirts shouldn't look like girlie baby tees. Pick oversize shirts that come in colors like black, gray and blue. Wear your jeans loose when you dress like a tomboy.

3. Throw on a baseball cap. Nothing says tomboy more than a girl who throws on a baseball cap instead of doing her hair.

4. Buy some sneakers. When you dress like a tomboy, you should wear sneakers or casual boots. Look into buying a pair of Converse sneakers or Vans.

5. Keep jewelry to a minimum. Tomboys don't usually accessorize. Leave off any jewelry and don't carry a purse when you go out.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid wearing heavy makeup. If you want to really dress like a tomboy, keep a natural face and use lip balm.

• Don't always dress like a tomboy. If you are going to a family or formal event, leave the sneakers and jeans at home.
