Tomboy sexiness
We've talked about dresses and skirts, but I think the sexiest look is actually tomboy style. You feel comfortable and look beautiful, and you can can run around, be goofy and have a good time (without getting blisters from your heels!). What do you think? Doesn't Natalie Portman look gorgeous? (Even prettier than when she's dressed up, I think.)
A similar outfit: Gap shirt, $59.95; J. Crew sweater, $79.50; Lucky Brand jeans, $99; Burt's Bees lip balm, $2.

Amazing!! :)
I totally agree.. my happiest adventures always occur in jeans and sneakers :)
PIECE OF CAKE. PEACE OF MIND.
I completely agree!
Is that Jay-Z next sitting next to her??
I totally adore this style :)
Totally! Especially on Natalie Portman.

Great style, but wouldn't Natalie Portman look gorgeous in any style?
I love your blog. Love it. Check out this one for all things Tomboy.........http://tomboystyle.blogspot.com/
kendra, well put:)
Does Natalie Portman look bad in anything though? She's probably not even wearing makeup. Grr *shaking fist*
I wish I could pull off a pixie cut! So cute and so low maintenance.
Oh, Natalie Portman ALWAYS looks gorgeous! ...She could make a trash bag look cute :)
It works for Natalie, and it works for some, but I don't think it would work for me. Not even for a nanosecond. Sigh.
tomboy is my default style. probably don't look as lovely as ms portman tho'...
I absolutely adore tomboy and menswear styles. I also love when a lady rocks a pixie cut, but I feel you have to be quite thin and have a tomboy kind of figure to really pull it off.
Ah, super-cute! I love feeling a little bit feminine, but tomboy-ey is always nice, too...

What about any shoe suggestions?
:)
Seriously - thank you so much for posting this! I feel sometimes like my own "comfy" style isn't worthy of some of these fashion blogs. Love it!

I love Tomboy style! So comfy without looking sloppy. And Natalie does make a trash bag look great! Remember the screaming scene in Garden State?! haha!
cool, i love natalie...she's so pretty....I've been a tomboy all my life...!
I love it! I have decided to go short short hair in the spring next year. this is def the kind of look and inspiration ill be looking at!
Thank you for posting this. I just got my hair cut off like this and I feel awesome but so many people think you can't be feminine with short hair.
Comfort is the absolute best path to being gorgeous... tomboy or otherwise. No kidding. And the fact that Natalie Portman is witty, funny, and talented makes her that much more gorgeous.
i agree! and it's true... you take yourself less serious and can really just have fun in a tomboy look! ps: she could probably wear a paperbag and look perfect!

Could not agree more, I always feel most myself when I'm dressed-down casual and just enjoying myself!
I chopped my hair to a pixie over a year ago and haven't look back since. I've never felt more confident and powerful and sexy in my entire life. I finally look in the mirror and see me instead of someone elses version of me. Added bonus? I can also cut my own hair now... leaves more dollars for the tomboy clothing fund.
she looks like a guy, meaning someone who would attract women. i don't like this look.
I have to agree, I have always been a tomboy and no matter my age will always remain one! :) xxoo
This is my favorite look for women who can pull it off, not everyone can.
Even cooler that she is sitting near Jay-Z! Love it.
This is definitely a great look only for people with a certain body type.
I love, love, love Tomboy style too. I don’t think that I rock it as well as others - I agree that it's best if you are slim, and not too buxom. But I adore it just the same. BTW Canvas has awesome men's Oxford shirts that I snap up on sale for less than $20. They are a waredrobe basic for me in my Tomboy style. Shoes - Frye James Oxford!
Joanna, your posts are especially amazing today! You're reading my mind. Jeans, sneakers, a grandpa sweater and horn-rimmed glasses is the cutest outfit. And Natatlie Portman is my fave style icon (Jay-Z is rather stylish too!) Thank you!

I agree for sure! There is nothing sexier/prettier than being comfortable with yourself.
Anonymous - really? You can't seriously think Natalie looks like a dude? Come on.
Well, Natalie looks good in just about anything, really. Tomboy style is sexy as long as it's subtly fitted, too.
Tomboy style is so fab...especially on someone as pretty as Natalie Portman....xv
I agree, and Natalie Portman rocks the style well.
i can't agree more.
Lindsay
totally agree!!!
I think she can do no wrong. With that delicate face? She can look as tomboyish as she likes.
This style is great, but it only suits a few. You have to be quite thin or you will look quite butch, imo.
Absolutely! I love the tomboy chic style and am guilty of rockin' the look myself (with an occasional flowy frock now and again)

I agree with most everyone. I love this look and think (if done well)it looks amazing. There's something insouciant and playful about it that makes it alluring. Of course, being a delicate beauty like Natalie doesn't hurt either.
@Beckie@Cubicle57 : I just pixie-d my hair a few months ago too and love it! I feel like I'm leading with my face--it's empowering!
My tomboy shoe of choice--brogues.
Totally. My wife has total tomboy style and she makes my heart melt. :)
i dunno about this one. i think you either have to be one of the lucky ones (like portman) who possesses a beautiful and, most important, extremely feminine face to pull this look off without coming across as, well, a bit butch OR at least be careful enough with the styling of it to still show off your feminine curves.
I'm only just embracing my inner tomboy and yes, I'm amazed by how sexy it makes me feel!
Definitely the best possible way to look beautiful and feel comfortable in the meantime! My favourite without doubts.
Lauren B, Audrey H, natalie all rocked/rock this look but all were in proud possession of killer cheekbones and outrageous beauty - helped to combine tomboyishness with sexiness, no? Having said that i love jeans, converse trainers, biker boots, tweed and waistcoats, cheekbones or not!
I couldn't agree more! It also displays confidence, I think.
It's definitely comfy and great for running around and doing errands, but I don't feel sexy dressed that way. I actually feel uncomfortable and not put together that way. I don't think it's a style that really suits everyone. To be honest, I just think she looks like a little boy there--gorgeous face, but kind of scruffy. I'm much more attracted to a feminine and even retro look. Very classically sexy and beautiful. But everyone has different preferences--it's all about what you feel best in!
N. Portman is gorgeous. Seriously.
I like tomboyish clothing/shoes quite a bit but I have to wear them with pretty hair/makeup in order to feel girly enough.
I totally agree Joanna - tomboy = sexy! (I hope so anyway because it's the only look I can pull off ...)
♥ Tomboy chic is my thing. Finally a post I can truly relate to! I couldn't agree more Joanna...it's the bomb diggidy!
I love her with shorter hair. Now, most women I know couldn't pull this off. Also, while there are SOME guys out there who love this (and I love them for it) most guys I know wouldn't like this. Too boyish. If her hair was long and thrown back in a pony tail, totally different story.
She is beautiful! I have short hair and i feel great! I like to dress up sometimes, but my jeans and a simple t-shirt are really what i will always love! :D Comfortable!
I think that it helps if you are naturally gorgeous, like Natalie. I don't feel like tomboy style works for me, and it definitely doesn't make me feel sexy. I feel sexiest in what I call my sexy secretary look, which involves a silk blouse, high-waisted pencil skirt, and pumps, preferably with red nails and lips. It's professional and covered up, but with a bit of an edge to it, which to me feels sexy.
Natalie looks good in anything.
I love the androgynous look. Wool, leather, plaid, paisley, metals, cotton, loafers, etc. Looking forward to all of the he-she trends that the fall brings!
Some women can really pull it off!
totally agree! Tomboy style is a major part of my style. It is a way of life or maybe even an attitude. Even when I dress more feminine, I am still a tomboy and it makes me feel confident. :)

I agree with you that tomboy style is super cute, and easy because it's low maintenance, but it's always fun to get dolled up every once in a while :)
I feel like really petite girls are the ones who make this look sexiest. I'm 5'10'' and have a tall girl's frame, and I find that it's harder to make it look 'sexy'...maybe that's all in my head?
I love tomboy styles. My 4 year old may disagree, but I think it's adorable and functional. So what if I'm not a "fancy lady"? Though that can be fun sometimes, too...
i'm not sure i can pull off this look, but she can! :)

Yes, she's my favorite! And Winona. I'm a total tomboy!
i am a definite fan of the tomboy look!
I love tomboy style! I had my hair super short like Natalie's in this pic a few years ago and I felt super awesome with it.
xo,

I agree! I love the tomboy look. I think it's wonderful to be feminine and dressy like a woman should be....but I think being a woman is all about being comfortable and feeling good. And that's what the tomboy style does in a nutshell.
So beautiful in an odd way.
I think Natalie looks stunning here, too! Just as stunning as she looks at the premieres!
xoxox
yep. that's why I like jennifer aniston's look - kind of tomboy
ultimately jen seems to be a femme,
but not a frilly femme.
I think what makes her still feminine is her make up. Perfectly executed. It's there but not there. I wish I could pull off that look. Unfortunately I've always had curves so I look odd. Like I'm dressed in reverse drag. But I loove the look.
So yes, tomboy scruffiness works for Natalie Portman. But then so did Naboo head-dresses and face paint. I mean, she IS Natalie Portman ;)
I must agree that a woman who can pull off the tomboy look is sexy! Great post ((:

While the tomboy look is hot, Natalie Portman is an unfair example.
She's Natalie Portman! If she wore a beekeepers outfit, I would say the beekeepers uniform is crazy chic!
Ah....Natalie Portman.....you're so cute, I hate you.

Natalie Portman has such a beuatiful face. You have to agree that not everyone can pull up this tomboyish look
its a classic look. Audrey did it. Diane Keaton! And now Shiloh Jolie Pitt! I love just throwing on some jeans, sneakers and a top and im out the door!

I agree completely! Natalie Portman and Shannon Sossamon are the sexiest actresses out there and total tomboys!
Natalie Portman always looks gorgeous, even when her head was shaved for V for Vendetta
Her clothing doesn't seem particularly tomboy-ish to me, but rather just casual. I think you might be associating her short hair with a tomboy look, rather than the clothing she is wearing.
Natalie pulls of the tomboy look so beautifully.

Oh, I love tomboy style! Sadly I am rather curvy (something good at other occasions) so I will never be able to pull off that look.
Cute, yes. Sexy, as in appealing to the opposite sex? An emphatic NO. (Sorry ladies.) There's a reason you don't see short hair and no makeup in men's magazines. We don't like it.
I'm not sure I agree. I think feminine is sexiest!

Love the look, but I just about choked when you listed the prices you thought would re-create it. Um, how about hitting up a local secondhand shop (known more commonly in my upstate area as "thift stores")? I can get jeans for $7.99, tops for $5.99... et cetera. And that's -before- sales if I hit them on the right day.
I will never understand people's fascination with paying $100 for a pair of jeans...
me too, i am jeans and a zara jumper with converse, often. occasionally i wear my glasses out too.
He used to drop me off at school dances and I would be mortified showing up in that thing. how did i not realize it made me look like the raddest kid in school?! I always look like a rock star.
Many whole sale items related to the valentine gifts available and these item are also helpful for our daily purposes.
