Feminine Boyish Style - What it is and how to wear it

The origin of the Boyish style

It is believed that the use of masculine pieces by women was definitively popularized during World War II, when they began to occupy spaces originally constituted by men, and also, because it was a more comfortable look. Thus, men's shirts and other items were incorporated into the feminine wardrobe.

The universally known Coco Chanel was the first designer to adopt a feminine look with masculine clothes. She was a symbol of protest and feminine subversion and made the voice of feminism echo through fashion. Chanel is still a reference today for women who want to adopt a more avant-garde style.

Popular among contemporary young women, this look can be called Boyfriend, Boyish or even Tomboy. Each of them has their nuances and concepts, but they all start from the same principle, which is a feminine look with some masculine piece.

The Boyish style is composed of looser and more relaxed pieces, with masculine sizes, such as t-shirts and pants, and the use of accessories such as caps, bandanas, headbands, sneakers, among others.

But after all, how to create a good boyish style look?

There are several ways to adopt the feminine look with boyish style, for any environment, time, and weather.

T-shirt and shirt worn as a dress

Being a larger item, the men's t-shirt or shirt can be worn as a dress accompanied by jackets, belts, tights, boots, or sneakers.

Options for everyday use

The pieces can even be used in a classic work environment, with stylish pants, long or midi skirts (pleated or plain). T-shirts and shirts can be tucked into the skirt or tied in a knot, for example.

Combinations with pants

More relaxed than ever, the feminine boyish style look can be combined with jogger pants or very loose jeans and large, boyfriend-style shorts, tucked in or left loose and very comfortable.

Inspirations for combinations with layering

A very common composition in boyish style for women's looks is with layering, with a tube or long dress layered, in addition to the jumpsuit which is a classic that never goes out of style. And new bets are coming with long coats and vests as well.
