Anatomy of an Asian Tomboy

20 Replies

One of the categories in Asian fashion that interest me the most the category of Asian Tomboys.

So, what is exactly is an Asian Tomboy? 

An Asian tomboy is someone who is female and Asian. This person does not dress like a girl for the most part. They bind their breasts in various ways, such as using a vest, duct tape, ace wrap, etc. They dress like guys, look like guys, and are usually mistake to be guys, and many girls go crazy for them to the point where they think they’re “turning lesbian” because they start liking these girls dressed as guys.

Asian Tomboys are not necessarily lesbian, but a majority of them usually are lesbian. They have awesome haircuts. Their fashion is so amazing. Okay, I’m probably digressing here a bit, but I am just amazed at how open  Asian tomboys are, and how they enjoy just being themselves. Kudos to every Asian tomboy in the world who are comfortable to dress up and be comfortable with themselves.

So what are some differences between Asian Tomboys and Western Tomboys?

• First of all, Western tomboys have larger chests. Asian tomboys have flatter chests, especially when they bind. 
• Asian Tomboys tend to be more over the top when they dress up, especially the hair, where majority of Asian tomboys have the “Asian mullet” hairstyle.

Within the Asian tomboy community, there are actually some popular Asian tomboys from various countries, such as Hyun Bi Hyul from South Korea, Junike “Nike” Orlando from Taiwan, etc.

(Junike aka Nike from Taiwan)                                   (Hyun Bi Hyul from South Korea)

An Asian tomboy can like different things. Some tomboys prefer “guy stuff”, and some tomboys still prefer “girly” things. A tomboy’s fashion does not restrict a person from what they prefer, and by preferring guy’s fashion, this does not mean that they only like “guy stuff”.

Not surprisingly, many straight girls go crazy for these Asian tomboys, and when I came across various youtube videos of Asian tomboy picture slideshows, many girls leave comments such as the following:

• “Sometimes I even doubt if I am straight because these girls are sooo HOTT!! <3″
• “Are they really girls? I wish they’re guys OMG”
• “Now that I think of it, I think I’m turning lesbian because of them”
• “I wish my boyfriend is as hot as them. It would be better if they were my boyfriend”
• “They’re girls? 0.o They can so pass as guys!”

It is not surprising that many guys feel threatened by these tomboys if many straight girls say those statements about Asian tomboys.

At the end of the day, Asian tomboys are cool, still cool, and are a hell lot of pure awesomeness today and in the future. As the Asian tomboy fashion statement and culture grows and gains more popularity, only one thing is certain, and that is to be able to be comfortable with how you dress in the style you want despite much criticism, just do not think of what other people may think and just be yourself. It all comes down to that. Just be yourself.

   No doubt that you are expressing what is said about this. I'm a tomboy myself and am thinking of trying to go Asian style because it's just so cool. Sure, I got my family to recognize me as a girl, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

    Can I say that you’re wrong about difference between asian and western tomboys?
    “Western tomboys have larger chests”. Not necessary

    The one difference between asian and western tomboys is same as between asian and western fashion. That’s all, why be so close-minded? There is no asian tomboys and westerns tomboys. A tomboy is a tomboy, that’s all

    okay… im a tomboy i recently got my haircut (that i finally got after 2 years of begging and rebelling against my mother and im loving it, easier to handle than long hair) and look like a guy, which alot of people commment on it as being wrong since im not a lesbian, people have this dumb steryotype that if your tomboy you r a lesbian…. why people so ignorant!!!!! anyway its not even funny cuz i feel like im the only mexican tomboy out there. Mexican culture is not very fond of tomboys and they get look down upon… alot. (especially my mexican mother)
    You know what i say
    I dont care what you think, this baggy clothing feels better when i bend over to get something then that miniskirt you wearing girl.

    P.s. dont get me wrong i loveee mexico and being a girly is okay just as long as you comfy and feeling good it is cool aslong as it is you amigo! (FYI that means buddy, friend, etc.)
