I'm afraid a few commenters who claim to be tomboys themselves have misunderstood the central point of this article and how "urban tomboy" is defined. First of all, the term "urban tomboy" is a term separate and greatly different from the traditional meaning of tomboy. These urbane tomboys are not your rough girls who play in the dirt and burp and spit and have no care at all for fashion. Urbane tomboys are the opposite. They, like the article mentions, wear $200 jeans, have a deep interest in menswear fashion, and know everything about grooming themselves. They are extremely familiar with makeup, skincare, and hair products, but they try to effect a look that seems as if it were entirely effortless. The ONLY difference between a girly-girl and an urban tomboy is in the final product, NOT the amount of preparation or effort that went into it. It's all about the look.
