And this queer says the hype matches the delivery! If you are already on their mailing list, you will be granted access immediately when you enter your email. Otherwise, you can get on the waiting list here: www.wildfang.com

They are curating a very artsy look; loosely fitting clothes, wild patterns, lots of black and white, some western influences. There are a wide range of prices, and some of their vintage pieces are one-of-a-kind and disappearing fast! Here are some of my favs:

Get Loose Jean, $148 

The Velvet Shane Vest, $38

Salute the Suit Bow Tie, $68

Pound The Pavement Boots, $240

Craftsman Flannel, $78

They also have some sweet articles on tomboy style! I’m so stoked, friends. I’ll keep you updated as the brand grows. Don’t know what Wildfang is? Catch up here. - Sonia

OK what is this new Wildfang thing popping up everywhere, and how the heck are Kate Moennig, Hannah Blilie, and Megan Rapinoeall in the same place, wearing my dream shoes? I know this is the question in most of your minds right now. So before you go losing any more sleep, here’s the deal: Wildfang is curating clothing for an online shop that caters to the tomboy lifestyle. In addition to launching an online store in a few months, they will have a whole website devoted to tomboy culture.

You’ve probably already seen their hot video, but here are some things you don’t know:

1. The voice in the video is Wildfang cofounder Julia’s 86-year-old grandmother, Carol Eisenschimel. In the 50’s she starting stealing her husband’s shirts because she didn’t like the way women’s shirts felt. All her words are unscripted, and just her end of a conversation.

2. Wildfang will be focusing on casual styles, curated from over 30 brands in Australia, the UK, and ‘merica. By including so many designers, they will be providing many different takes on tomboy style, and eventually reinventing what it means to BE a tomboy.

3. All 5 people in their film and photoshoot jumped on board with their start-up budget, because they loved the idea and wanted to help make it happen. i.e. My crushes on all of them just increased by 500%.

4. Kate Moennig’s personal wardrobe is a combination of men’s, women’s, and vintage pieces, all tailored. She works with her own tailor to achieve a very specific idea of how she wants each one to look. (OK yes, good thing this interview was over the phone, because I was TOTALLY blushing)

5. With Wildfang in the picture, you will no longer need to steal things from your brother’s closet. Their online store will have carefully chosen the best pieces for you, your style, and your body.

We got great submission from another adorable tomboy-type in bold colored jeans. Getting one great pair of bold colored jeans can REALLY enhance your wardrobe. Especially if you’re like me and have 5 light blue shirts and not enough to add for contrast. If you’re nervous about adding too much color, this maroon is a tame choice to start out with. I really like a lot of the colors CottonOn has right now.

I discovered another queer with impeccable style. Like, why isn’t she on the cover of the queer equivalent of GQ? (I know there are queer magazines, but the photo style reminds me a lot of the features GQ puts out. Also, GQ is always my shorthand for gender queer, which makes me laugh.) The type of bow tie she’s wearing is a lot slimmer. Good style to try out, because wide ones can look a little goofy sometimes.

Anonymous asked: I'm a straight girl, but I only really feel comfortable in boyish or unisex clothes. I would never change myself just to get a guy, but often my friends will try to persuade me to 'girl up' a bit to try to attract a date. They never force anything on me, but sometimes when I'm out with them my clothes can sometimes make me feel like a child in comparison to their short dresses and high heels. My question is, do you think that some men are attracted to more masculine women?

Definitely. So glad you wrote, because there are soooo many straight girls out there just like you who prefer to dress more boyish/androgynous. And there are so many straight guys who are into that. (I know many!) They might not all have the eggs to say it, but secretly they all want to bone the boyish girls. And I’d give you the same advice I gave the last person about how to talk to your friends about it. Right now, gender non-conforming dressing is often more accepted and celebrated in queer spaces. I really hope that someday everyone will be just as exploratory of gender presentation and identity. 

stickmansaga asked: Hello! Just wanted to take a moment & say that I basically identify as straight (though you have some gorgeous girls featured here), my style definitely leans more to the masculine-inspired/tomboy-femme, and finding your blog recently has given me a lot of inspiration and a bit more confidence in how I dress. So, thank you for what you do! I appreciate it, and always look forward to new posts.

Thanks!! I <3 tomboy-femme style on everyone.

Anonymous asked: I've recently came out of the closet. Since I was a kid I was always a tomboy and never truly grew out of that. In a way I did but I only did it because everyone was expecting me to be more girly even if that wasn't what I wanted. Now that I'm out and dating someone I've felt more comfortable with myself. I just wanted to say I'm so happy that I found this blog, I certainly check it out every day!

Congratulations, and thanks for writing! So happy to hear about your experience growing into your identity. 

I’m hoping that Adidas will catch wind of Han-Alexander (http://hanthelion.tumblr.com/) soon, because she needs to start getting paid for her advertisements! Even though she wears a lot of men’s clothes, I get the sense that her goal is not to appear androgynous. To me, Hans Alexander is not concerned with presenting any particular gender, but instead embraces the fluidity in gender by pairing boyish clothes with long hair and switching between more masculine and feminine poses. Her innocent expressions make her somewhat boyish presentation cute rather than threatening to the eye of a misogynist. Of course, it’s also always helpful to be so conventionally beautiful when you’re fighting against cultural stigmas of masculine presenting women.

Sunglasses: Lacoste
Shirt: Epic Threads (Macy’s boys 8-20 department)
Watch: 666 Barcelona
Belt: Levi’s (Picked up at Oberlin’s “free store”)
Shorts: Target (Boy’s Department)

I am always looking for ways to make myself appear more masculine, despite my curvy body. In order for me to pull off the tomboy look, it seems as though I need to wear tomboy colors, like cool blues and warm reds. Wearing a big watch also draws attention away from my feminine figure (where as a guys’ necklace would just bring it out more).

I must admit, I’ve been stalking this chick for a while now. She’s probably the cutest androgynous girl I’ve ever seen, and her 100,000 followers on tumblr seem to agree. Her name is Ashley Yielding (http://ashleyyielding.tumblr.com/) and though she may be too famous to bother with an interview, she agreed to letting me post these pictures. What’s her deal? She’s 22 (woot woot), she works at a law firm in Arkansas, and she’s in a relationship (sorry ladies). What do I have to offer other than supplying you with her fashion inspiration? My outlook on why her fashion efforts are so successful:

1. She wears clothes that fit her body type. It just so happens that her body type is already androgynous, so she can get away with things like low-rise jeans. I wouldn’t be caught dead trying it myself, unless, say, I was performing in a hip hop music video.

2. She’s committed to her style. She’s not afraid to go all out, whether she’s doing the sailor outfit, street smart swag, or decked out hipster. When you try to hold back from going too far with an outfit, ask yourself this: is it because you’re afraid people will laugh at you, or because you genuinely want to keep it subtle? 

3. She’s not afraid to look like Justin Bieber. Us lesbians, we sometimes look like Justin Bieber. Get used to it.

I don’t know where she got all her clothes, other than that the white belt and striped shirt are from Urban Outfitters.

Thanks for letting me use your pictures Ashley, and I hope to see you on “The Real L Word” soon!
