London, Apr 28 : Cheryl Cole, who's known for her exquisite feminine style, has revealed she used to be a tomboy.

The Girls Aloud babe told Hello! magazine that as a teen she wore baggy jeans and jumpers - then discovered "girlie clothes and high heels".

She also admitted that hubby Ashley Cole still prefers her dressed down in a tracksuit than the glammed look.

"He thinks I look cutest in a casual tracksuit with my hair pulled back at home," The Sun quoted Cole, as telling the magazine.

"For me there's no bigger compliment in the world than another woman saying, `My God, doesn't she look gorgeous in that!' That to me is far more of a compliment than a man saying, `She looks sexy," Cole said.

She added: "As I've matured into a woman, I've reached the point where I realize I've got to concentrate on my best bits rather than struggle and strive for things I'll never achieve." (ANI)
