do you have any tips for androgynous/non binary looking da outfits? (might be a bit sensitive (at least it is for me) so don't feel forced to answer)

personally i pull inspiration from vintage men’s fashion for my androgynous looks.

pullover sweaters with white collared shirts underneath (a+ look. literally my only wardrobe choice in the winter)

thrifted button downs

slacks

turtlenecks

high waisted trousers! literally any kind of trousers, as long as they have a high waist: plaid, plain colours, weird vintagey designs (most are not tight around the legs, and personally i feel like i look more androgynous when i wear looser pants)

belts!!!! belts r v cool.

if you feel dysphoric when your body is visible, the summer can be kind of rough. if you feel comfortable, you can wear dark coloured t shirts tucked into comfortable black jeans !

Since it’s pride month I thought I would share some tips for passing as Non-binary!!

I do not wish to reveal my sex since it only brings about rude comments! However, I will say that despite my sex, I have more feminine features! Not all non-binary people have to look androgynous!! I prefer to look androgynous! These tips are for people like me as well as genderfluid/gender flux people!!

CLOTHING

Feminine:

The first thing to know is that the typical feminine wardrobe is meant to accent more feminine body features! If you want to look more feminine have clothes that are tighter at the waist but slightly loser everywhere else! In general women’s clothes are made more form fitting than men’s clothes, which means they may be slightly uncomfortable to get used to! Color and pattern also plays a part in whether you are perceived as more feminine or masculine! (Personally I do not wear much color or pattern but I’ve researched) Floral pattern, and paisley type patterns in the pastel variety as often perceived as more feminine...depending on how you wear them! Really most patterns that are less geometric, and more abstract are usually seen as more feminine.

Certain fabrics are also considered more feminine, however, fabrics such as crushed velvet and silk are considered fine for both sex’s!! So don’t fret too much when it comes to fabric choice, worry more about fit, color, and pattern!

Masculine:

Men’s clothes are often heavier as well as full figured! Men’s clothes are usually comfort over style and even dress clothes are made to hang slightly off the body! Men’s clothes are also significantly more modest than women’s clothes...boxers are often longer than most dresses, which says a lot about how society views women (but we won’t go down that road today)

If you want clothes that make you look more masculine I suggest you find clothes that don’t conform to the body or are tight around the hips and shoulders, but loose everywhere else! Find clothes with more geometric patterns! Men’s clothes are filled with straight lines and symmetry!

Traditionally masculine clothes are also less bright in color, and usually dull and often monochrome!

HAIR

Feminine:

As much as I disagree with the belief that masculine hair is short, and feminine hair is long...it is much easier to pass as feminine with longer hair! Feminine hair doesn’t have to be long! I’ve noticed that feminine hairstyles tend to frame the face and are usually meant to at least partially cover the face! Traditionally feminine women are hardly seen with short slicked back hair, where men are often seen with their hair out of their face. Short hair, depending on how masculine you face is, can be made to look feminine if cut in the right way! Shorter hair on feminine people tends to be cut in a way that isn’t too sharp! A common theme with feminine presentation is rounder, softer lines!

With longer hair you want it to be kept down or in a more feminine updo! Higher buns and ponytails as well as styles that are parted in the middle of the hair tend to make you present more feminine! Another thing that will make your hair look more feminine is a widows peak! Men have widows peaks as well but if you have an exceedingly straight hairline it may make you look more masculine than you would like!

Masculine:

Typically short hair that isn’t in your face is the way to go! Military type haircuts are overtly masculine if you present in such a way! Shorter on the sides and barley longer on the top is an overly common hairstyle for masculine people. If you’re commented to looking the part you can even have your hair shaved to all one length as feminine haircuts typically have a lot of depth! Getting your hair out of your face (depending on how masculine your face is) will help people see you as masculine! Once again! Men’s presentation is more about comfort than style!

If you want to present masculine with longer hair try getting some form of undercut to add a masculine edge to you longer hair! If that’s not for you try hairstyles that are perceived as more masculine such as Viking braids, low ponytails, and low buns! I would also suggest not having straight ends on you hair because typically feminine presenting people do this!

BODY

feminine:

If you don’t have natural curves aim for a smaller waist because nine times out of ten people will associate a smaller waist with a more feminine aesthetic! You can achieve a smaller waist in many ways such as exercise, and waist training using a waist trainer or even a corset! Although if you plan on using a waist trainer or corset do not wear it for more than 8 hours at a time, and take breaks if you need them!! Also, as much as I hate the stigma that women must shave I would suggest shaving if you end to present more feminine! (Personally I think everyone should shave including men! But that’s just my humble opinion!) Another thing you can do is buy a bra that fits you around and stuff it with socks to give the appearof breasts if you’re interested in going the extra mile! I suggest using fuzzy winter socks that are balled up since they are thinker and look more realistic than regular socks, which tend to look lumpy!

Masculine:

You want to minimize curvature when presenting masculine! Wearing loser fitting clothes won’t always do the trick! You need to wear clothes that hide your hips...and if you are binding properly it should be possible! I suggest wearing longer shirts with now hem at the bottom! Hems cling to the hips which makes them look larger and more feminine! You want to look as much like a box as you can! Straighten your legs and hid you waist! Wear shirts with Seams that protrude slightly from the shoulder, make you shoulders look bigger! Larger shoulders are usually perceived as more masculine!

Now a little psa about binding!!

If you have breasts binding is going to make or break your gender presentation! I recommend G2CB binders because I know that they are a very good brand! Even if you have a larger chest these binders can make you flat! Treat a binder like you would a corset...don’t wear it for more than 8 hours at a time and DO NOT SLEEP IN IT!

FACE

Feminine:

I suggest you use makeup either way but if you have a naturally feminine face then this will just enhance those features! You want to focus on widening the eyes and plumping the lips! If you do not own makeup or are not allowed makeup I suggest buying a tinted chapstick! You want to darken the lips and draw attention to you eyes! You can both those things with a tinted chapstick in a dire situation! Apply it like eyeshadow and voila! Instantly attention is drawn to your eyes! To take things a step further you want to make your eyebrows thinner and your eyelashes curly! You can use an eyelash curler or you can put Vaseline on your lashes and hold them to your eyelid for 30-60s to curl them without! Anyone can make their eyebrows thinner if they have a razor or a pair of tweezers! This will help tremendously in presenting more feminine!

Masculine:

You want to contour your face and give yourself a more angular look! Contour the cheekbones, jawline, Adam’s apple, and cleft of chin/lip! You can also contour your nose but it’s up to what you prefer! If you have thinner eyebrows I suggest you fill them in thicker and possibly learn to add stubble or facial hair with makeup!

GESTURES

My only tip for this is...

Feminine gestures are central to the wrist whereas masculine gestures are more central to the elbow or shoulder!

Crossed arms = masculine

Crossed legs = feminine

Slouching = masculine

Proper sitting = feminine

Hip displacement = feminine

Spreading = masculine

If you want more specific tips I will gladly help!
