About Us
When you wear a House of Tomar outfit, you wear an attitude.
House of Tomar is a line of unique, distinct Tomboy Chic Style that speaks for its easy silhouettes and comfort fashion combined with the finest design elements. Forged by a pair of sisters, the gates to the House of Tomar (HOT) have swung open for a legion of independent women.
Women who don’t censor themselves, women who aren’t afraid of being too much or less.
HOT began as a nascent idea in 2015 and has since scaled to become a fashionable reality. One that is as contemporary as the women we design for. The HOT collection is for an every wild romping girl, who is looking for comfort with style, who spills her opinion without apology. At HOT, we design for women who are ready to make decisions and even, make some mistakes. Sometimes epic tales begin with reckless bravery. We design for a “greater yin” energy, in specific, and for courageous leaps and big moves. Emotions are expressed in each style by way of a never-seen-before print in a never-worn-before style. With men-inspired silhouettes and an some undefined styles that reflect ease and comfort for contemporary women that can take on anything, even as many as 120 rivets, we don’t design for ‘good girls’.
We design for a wild romping girl, cause it’s not just about clothes, it’s about the attitude you carry along.
Are you ready to show your “greater yin” energy?

But at first, the founders began with a central question.
We know who we are. We’ve found out the hard way, the fun way.
But importantly – Who are you? Who is the woman we’re designing for?
You are not perfect, you’re not fearless.
But you are something else: you are a messy masterpiece in progress.
With that clarity, HOT’s lines are rife with comfortable clothing in which you can easily kick ass and look good while doing it. HOT’s signature silhouettes and prints are all about expressing emotions and comfort.
