Pass the Tomboy Tart Hat On. Share This Article.
I want to tell you about the coolest Christmas gifts I have ever received. But the reality is people are just confused about what to get for a tomboy like me who aren’t into the usual girly stuff. Over the years, I have accumulated a lifetime supply worth of hand soap, lotions and candles.
It always makes me wonder: What kind of vibe do I accidentally give off to the world? Have I been scrubbing way too hard when I wash my hands at the sink? Do I have a secret candle fetish that I am not aware off? All these sad gifts took up lots of storage space until a suitable regifting opportunity came along, which is usually the next holiday season. And that’s how, kids, I saved money on Christmas shopping.
Are we tomboys that difficult to shop for? Chocolates, tool boxes and notebooks are safe bets but c’mon, is that all you guys can think of? Let’s get creative here.
To help everybody out, we come up with our foolproof Tomboy Tarts shopping guide. And we are going to kick off with a tomboy essential that will never go out of style: tomboy caps aka snapbacks, strapbacks or simply your baseball caps. We can never seem to shake off our unbridled love for the classic baseball cap. And thanks to the recent 90s revival and increasing popularity of athletic-inspired apparel, it appears that we don’t have to.

Ellen Page practically endorses this statement Tomboy cap so what other reason do you need? Wear it with pride, tomboy and welcome to our kickass tribe. Or if you prefer the lettering in all black, you can opt for the midnight version.
2. WEAR IT WITH STYLE

With inspiration drawn from vintage mountaineering, travel and American heritage, Herschel Supply Co. does a modern take on classic backpack shapes, with a keen eye for detail. We love the backpacks for their chic, utilitarian design but do you know about their equally awesome collection of caps as well?
Clean up your look with the timeless design of the Herschel Supply Toby Hat or the stylish Glendale Classic.
3. PLEDGE YOUR SPORTING ALLEGIANCE
A baseball hat is an excellent way to show allegiance to your favourite sports team.
Find out which sports team your tomboy supports and get her the official head gear. A supporter can never have too many caps, trust us! Whether she roots for New York Giants, Dodgers or Chicago Bulls, there’s a fan cap out there for everybody.
4. EVERYTHING LOOKS MUCH COOLER IN LEATHER
Nothing said ‘street’ in the ’90s like the backwards baseball cap. 20 years later, the classic baseball cap has updated with newer designs and trendier materials such as leather. For the fashionista tomboys, we recommend the black leather cap we’ve been seeing so much of lately. The sophisticated nature of the leather elevates the typical cap for more dressed-up items like trench coat and boots. The Vianel Leather Baseball Cap made hip by Rihanna is mostly sold out but you can get cheaper ones from ililily, or in leather trims from Armani Exchange and Nine West.
5. MAY THE MERCH BE WITH YOU
It’s that special time of the year where the drones chime, snow piles high on Hoth and the Stroomtroopers invade the Great Wall of China. But even the biggest Star Wars fan on the planet is not going to walk around with a helmet – be it Stormtrooper or Resistance pilot – every day. Thankfully for the geek tomboys, we can now express our love for the legendary movie franchise with one of these amazing Star Wars Themed Baseball Caps recently unleashed upon this planet to tie in with the upcoming movie.

The new line is very impressive with its variety, with caps and beanies based on new characters like Kylo Ren and BB-8 as well as legacy characters like Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Stroomtrooper, and more. There are entire movie scenes played out around the top of your head, or you can pick more subtle designs to help your tomboy declare her allegiance. Our personal favourites are the limited edition character face caps, especially the shiny gold Big Face 59Fifty C-3PO, which is as unashamedly groovy and retrolicious as the protocol droid himself
