Fashion can reflect contemporary society. Recently, gender lines in fashion have blurred: men can wear womenswear and women can wear menswear. Gender-free, androgynous dressing is more inclusive. Women don’t need to chase overt sexiness or expose skin to be feminine. Sometimes cool, tomboyish looks with a touch of softness are even more alluring.
So being cool and being beautiful aren’t opposites — women can be both. I recommend finding styling inspiration from fashion bloggers on IG and using tailored pieces to express the composed confidence of the modern urban woman; your look can reflect personal quality and lifestyle.
A minimalist enthusiast you absolutely must follow from GermanyBeatrice GutuOpening her IG immediately reveals a strong personal style — mostly black, white, and gray tones. She loves staple pieces like blazers and shirts, but her outfits never feel monotonous or merely androgynous.
Beatrice Gutu often pairs leather jackets, long blazers, or trench coats with long skirts, keeping a tomboy edge while maintaining feminine traits. She reveals skin strategically to show off long legs, which is sexier than blunt exposure. Beatrice Gutu also favors solid-color one-piece long dresses in slightly relaxed fitted cuts that hint at curves without squeezing — another top pick for the androgynous-chic look.
A fashion blogger from Melbourne, AustraliaJess AlizziShe’s also a reference point for crafting a tomboy-chic, androgynous look. Jess Alizzi is highly educated — a law school standout — and has nearly 600K followers on IG. Her style is minimalist yet never boring, using leather jackets and tailored trousers to build a strong feminine edge.
Being cool doesn’t mean being masculine; it means not over-exerting feminine traits. Jess Alizzi often wears V-neck tops that reveal the neck and collarbone, or sheer tops that deliberately show underwear. Underwear no longer needs to be hidden — using it to hint at femininity can be even sexier.
Mirjam FlatauNot only does she have 1.34M followers on IG, she’s also a creative director at an interior and architectural design firm. She advocates minimalist aesthetics; opening her IG immediately conveys a cold, fashionable urban vibe. Mirjam Flatau’s tomboyishness is bold yet composed — beauty comes from attitude and confidence. Her everyday looks center on tailored trousers, oversized shirts, or T-shirts: simple but stylish.
From Japanoksoon kimShe is also a brand owner with nearly 150K followers on IG — a great source of inspiration for Asian girls’ styling. oksoon kim combines Japanese minimalism with streetwear, favoring oversized jeans or tailored trousers for a cool, edgy look. She’s skilled at introducing feminine touches with heels, V-shaped shoes, or bags to blend tomboy and feminine aesthetics.
A fashion blogger from the UKBrittany BathgateShe has 450K followers on IG and works in the fashion industry at the brand Patriksson. Brittany Bathgate’s style is the quintessential European chic city woman with boyish elements. Shirts, tailored trousers, and blazers are everyday staples; in fall and winter she prefers long coats or trenches — minimalist, comfortable, and stylish.
You can follow Brittany Bathgate’s example and choose a sheer-effect blouse or knit to create an effortless sexiness that feels more sophisticated than outright exposure and suits Taiwan’s large day-to-night temperature swings in early autumn; or pair it with a form-fitting but not tight top to trace body curves without going overboard, achieving both androgynous charm and beauty.
A fashion blogger from NorwayTine Andrea LauvliShe was once selected by VOGUE among the world’s 100 most fashionable people, often appears in major fashion week street style coverage, and has over 220K followers on Instagram. Her style centers on minimalist chic, occasionally punctuated by striking design cuts or accessories — like color-blocked heels or textured jackets and tops — maintaining an overall edgy-elegant vibe.
Tomboy-chic expresses a lifestyle attitude: more spontaneous and composed, reflecting the sentiment of dressing for yourself. Comfort and ease are always the most important — not dressing to please others.
