Tomboy haircut features
The term “tomboy” appeared thanks to the English language. Translated tomboy means “tomboy girl” or “tomboy.” From gender stereotypes to image: if earlier women and girls were called that, copying the stereotyped male behavior, games, and manners, now the image of a tomboy is more likely associated with external features.
Tomboy style is characterized by androgyny or emphasized masculinity. The first can be seen in the wardrobe of the new teen idol Billy Eilish. Tomboy haircuts are demonstrated by various celebrities like Agyness Deyn, Cara Delevingne, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Kristin Stewart, Ellen Page, and many others.
Initially, the tomboy style was brought to life by Coco Chanel, who adapted men’s clothes for women’s wardrobes. Coco loved vests, trousers, and a short haircut. Well, why not a kid?
Another important event in the sexual revolution and the appearance of the tomboy style was the novel by Victor Marguerite, “The Bachelorette” (fr. La Garçonne), in which the main character behaved like a man, drove a car, drank, fell in love with a woman.
Rebel girls began to make a haircut a la garcon and defend their right to any appearance and behavior. It is easy to guess that the name of the haircut garcon came from a request to make a haircut in a masculine manner. Now all types of haircuts for rebels and tomboys are called tomboys.
Now the fashion for tomboy is associated with the popularity of Korean music artists and the trend towards a unisex wardrobe, a protest against gender identity.
