Be Girly Without Losing the Tomboy in You

Do you want to be like one of the guys but you still get a little excited when you see a cute phone case or top? Fortunately, it's perfectly fine to be little bit girly without losing the toughness, and this article will help you out.

Steps

Clothing

  1. Don't be afraid to mix and match your style. When you're a tomboy, it doesn't matter what you like and don't like. A tomboy is a girl who doesn't mind hanging with the guys, and likes boys sports or video games, and doesn't wear a hot pink mini-skirt all the time. Choose whatever you want.
  2. Wear clothes that you feel comfortable in. Tomboys don't only wear sneakers, jeans, and a t-shirt 24/7. Being a tomboy/girly girl means you can wear whatever, whenever. If you feel the girly girl inside you coming out, then wear dresses and skirts. But if you feel the tomboy in you, then maybe wear some dress pants and a nice top, too.
  3. Wear pink if you like it. It's okay to be feminine. It's okay to wear pink, just don't overdo it or wear it all the time. There's no law against tomboys wearing pink. You are just as strong as a tomboy who doesn't wear pink, or as a guy.
  4. Try a girly punk look. Consider pink, black, accessories, and the Be a Riot Grrrl (or Boi). Dressing like a girly punk and not losing your attitude complements your girly tomboy personality big time.
  5. Pick your swimsuits carefully. Try normal tomboy colors like red, blue, orange, brown, etc. You could wear some basketball shorts and a bikini top. If not, then a tank top would do.

Beauty care

  1. Consider your beauty routine. Different routines work for different people. You might be a wash-and-go kind of girl, or you might like to spend a little extra time to look your best. There is no right or wrong answer (as long as you're hygienic). You have no obligations about your appearance.
  2. Take care of your body. Shower daily or every other day, and brush your hair and teeth at least two times a day. You don't have to give up personal hygiene to be a girly tomboy.
  3. Try makeup like mascara, eyeliner, and lip-gloss or chap stick. Experiment to find your personal style.

Hair

  1. Experiment with hairstyles. Try various updos, and consider accessories such as hair clips. Find something practical and cute that makes you smile. This complements your girly side.
    • Flowers, ribbons, bows, and other cutesy things are all okay to wear if you like them. Remember, you can be tough and feminine at the same time!

Activities

  1. Play your favorite sports, do horse riding, football, boxing, or do some swimming. Try a rough sport if you're interested in it. If you don't like competition, try backyard sports, shooting hoops on the driveway, or playing in the water with friends. Being active is an important part of tomboy culture, and it's also fun!
  2. Get a mix of hobbies. Lots of tomboys love sports, such as basketball, soccer, football, and baseball. Or video games like Halo, Call of Duty, sports games, and so on. Make sure you have a reason to be tomboy.
  3. Make friends with both genders. Be nice to them and they will do the same for you!
  4. Have fun! Being a tomboy takes time. But it's not impossible.

Tips

  • Be yourself. You don't have to change if you don't want to. You will find friends who like you just the way you are.
  • Being a girly tomboy means different things for different people. You don't need to conform to certain roles or stereotypes. Look for what fits you and makes you happy.
  • Being a tomboy doesn't mean you always have to dress like a guy, just go with what feels right!

Warnings

  • Don't change yourself for boys, girls, or anyone. Any changes should be done for you. Love yourself for who you are, be kind, and people who like you will naturally be attracted to you.
