Androgyny is no passing trend. Since pants first hit the market as a fashionable and culturally appropriate item, women have been taking to traditionally men's fashion pieces with avail. And while certainly men can hold their own when it comes to male-body cuts and silhouettes, women are showing the world that despite hips and busts, we pull off the boys' look just as well.
Not sure how to ape the look without getting lost in a sea of fabric? Don't worry, here we narrow down the tomboy trend to show you how to make it as flattering as it is fashionable.
Loosen Up
Despite their loose fit and low-slung cut, boyfriend pants can be surprisingly flattering, and can even hide whatever weight you might be carrying around your hips or thighs. Pair it with a slimmer shirt on top to contrast the oversized pant.

Maybe you didn't make the cut in high school, but that doesn't mean you can't own a varsity jacket now. This classic one with black and white accents will bring the boyish, retro charm while still being having some shape through the bust and waist.

New Twist
Bring some color into the basic button down with navy and turquoise accents. The slim cut will still flatter a woman's frame. With some loose boyfriend jeans and oxfords, you'll look androgynous in the best possible way.
