when i was going through a crisis of “my identity will never make sense, i will constantly have to correct people, and i will never not look female” the one thing i needed was a guide to presenting subtly nonbinary/androgynous/genderless. so here is that guide!
-lots. of. hoodies.
-flannels, which you can find in literally any section! men, women, children, babies. everyone gets flannels!
-no makeup
-for afab folks, cut ur hair! if ur parents dont want u gettin it all short, get it to ur neck/shoulders
-CLOTHES WITH NB COLORS. god i tye-dyed a shirt with yellow, black and purple and it was soooo nice to wear on super androgynous days
-amab= feminine clothes, afab= masculine clothes! pushing away from your assigned gender is just as important as pulling towards androgynous!
-oversized band/fandom shirts! not only super gender-neutral, also a good icebreaker. “you like stranger things, too? are you excited for season 3?”
i rlly hope this helps you!
-If you’d rather not or can’t cut your long hair, middle part it rather than side parting it! It helps, if you’re aiming to make it look less feminine. And if you want short hair to look less masculine, try side parting it, shaving one side, curling it, or putting in hair clips!
-Boxy shirts that are a lil baggy but not super baggy are good if you want to make your chest looks flat!
-Confuse tf out of people!! Wear a button up, bow tie, shorts, and tights; liptick with stubble, combos like that!
-Cuffing pants usually looks more masculine; rolling pant legs usually looks more feminine
-Doc martens/any similar boots (esp ankle boots) are hella gender neutral
-Mom jeans 👌👌👌
-Darker colors help to mask where you are and aren’t curved
-Roll The Tee Shirt Sleeves
