Ever get the urge to raid your boyfriend's closet? Well you're in good company. All around the world girls are doing what many bold women have been doing forever -- taking classic men's pieces and making them their own. Inspired by the likes of women such as
Marlene Dietrich and
Katherine Hepburn (who was rarely seen without her slacks), today's tomboy icons like
Agyness Deyn,
Samantha Ronson and model
Freja Beha Erichsen are keeping the menswear trend alive among the traditionally "fairer" sex. Even
Coco Chanel was a rule-breaking tomboy! What do you need to get the tomboy look? A great pair of black trousers a good way to start -- look for some that have pleats or for ones that are a little roomy but still narrow in the leg like the
"Burnisi" Pant by Theory. Top off those pants with a great plain white T-shirt or an
updated button-down like ones from Alexander Wang. If you get a little chilly, add an
oversized boyfriend blazer that is everywhere this season. Take cue from tomboy Agyness Deyn, who is often spotted wearing a fedora or a bowler hat and suspenders to add some whimsy to your look. Add some quirky accessories like argyle socks or a bowtie and a cummerbund (it's a super versatile belt!) and you're good to go. Check out the slideshow for how to get the look!
