Sofia Richie rocks tomboy chic in baggy jeans and an oversized polo shirt as she strolls through NYC with a male friend

She's carved out a name for herself as a successful model on some of the world's hottest runways.

The model, 18 - who is the daughter of music legend Lionel Richie, 68 - opted for tomboy chic by pairing a pair of baggy 'mom'-style jeans with an oversized Fila polo shirt.

Steal from the boys in Sofia's FILA polo shirt

Sofia Richie flawlessly executes a "stolen from the boys" look in a way that has become her sartorial specialty.

She opted for this mens polo shirt by FILA-- a sports brand that has recently been enjoying a revival in the rise of the ubiquitous athleisure trend.

We love that she tucked it into some high-waisted jeans and paired it with casual sneakers for an effortlessly chic tomboy look.

The good news if you're looking to upgrade your casualwear, a version of Sofia's shirt is up for grabs over at ASOS. (Click right). Or steal Sofia's pinstripes with one of the alternatives in the edit below.

The socialite teen teamed her look with lemon yellow Converse trainers and baby pink socks pulled up to her ankles.

Sofia slung a black leather purse across her body and sheltered her eyes from the summer sunshine with a pair of stylish shades.  

The catwalk queen wore her blonde locks loose and unstyled around her shoulders and wore minimal make-up to showcase her striking features.

The teen looked happy and relaxed as she wandered through the streets of Manhattan chatting to her pal.

Sofia is Lionel's daughter by his second wife Diane Alexander, whom he was married to from 1998 until 2004.

Lionel also raises Sofia's elder brother, Myles, 22, with Diane, and Nicole Richie, 35, with his college sweetheart, Brenda Harvey.

The couple adopted The Simple Life star Nicole informally when she was two from a member of Lionel's band, before making the process official when she was nine.  

Earlier this year, Sofia joked about her protective dad tracking her via her cell phone, tweeting: 'My dad tracks my phone once a day. Awkwardly enough I get a notification every time. I think it's funny so I don't tell him I know'.

Lionel said to USA Today in early June: 'Would I track my kids? Do you think I would be one of those guys?

'I keep trying to tell them. I don’t track. I don’t understand. Nicole thought I had investigators following her around.' 

He added: 'I keep trying to tell my kids the same thing: "I own Chicago. I own Miami. I have been around the world. 

'So when you go through the airport, I have friends. You cannot sneak into a club. I own that club." So they think they are sneaky.'

Lionel continued outlining the situation: 'So I get a phone call, "Hey, just want to let you know Sofia just walked in." I mean, did I call him? No. I’m not tracking.

'At this point now, some things are too much information. There are some things you don’t want to know. "Kids have to be kids. At some point, you have to let them go do their thing.'
