The '''Girly Girl''' is a little girl or woman who likes things like floaty dresses and perfume and jewelry, etc. However having some of these attributes doesn't necessarily make a girl 'girly'. Depending on local norms, a {{Tomboy}} may have some of these traits, and the variety of Girly girls is great enough that no one trait can be called essential. Therefore, it is nearly inevitable she will ''[[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak invert]]'' the TomboyWithAGirlyStreak (which the tomboy plays straight).

There are generally two types of girly girls:

# '''Proper Girly Girl''' has all of the qualities and interests that are traditionally associated with femininity. She is usually not good at any type of sports, other than perhaps dance sports.
# '''Moderate Girly Girl''' tends to be fairly feminine but still retains a significant portion of feminine qualities and interests. If she's good at sports, she plays sports that are typically considered "feminine", such as golf, tennis, and volleyball.
