Finally a trend we don’t need to buy a new wardrobe for because the basics are no doubt already in the cupboard. The aim of the game is effortless dressing, keeping it comfy and taking inspiration from menswear whilst keeping the girly twist.
In the 1950s the term ‘tomboy’ was applied to a wild girl who acted like a spirited or boisterous boy and we like that sound of that! Since its incarnation the tomboy has had many periods in the spot light and we are pleased to embrace it again.
