Androgyny, unisex fashion, and gender neutrality have been growing in popularity for a long while now. Fashion goes through cycles, and as we’re seeing more and more ‘80s comebacks in fashion, we also tend to see more people gravitating toward gender-neutral clothing. While back in the ‘80s it was sort of rebellious, and something that we saw from glam rock icons and other misfits, these days it’s becoming mainstream.
Gen Z is growing up fast and they will not be put in boxes or labeled. They see no reason in liming fashion and their self-expression to one gender. They will wear whatever they want, however, they want and look stunning no matter what. The fashion industry is following suit. Gender-neutral clothing brands are growing in popularity, London fashion week became gender-neutral and canceled separate gendered shows, instead opting to combine their men’s and women’s catwalks, and New York fashion week added a unisex and nonbinary category. So if looking gender-neutral is something you’re into, here are some outfit ideas that might inspire you.
1.Suits
Suits are not for men only, in fact, they’ve become a staple in women’s closets too. They’re powerful, they’re fashionable, they come in a variety of cuts and styles. Finding a good suit may be your entry ticket into the world of gender-neutral fashion.
2.Streetwear
Streetwear brands are generally quite gender-neutral, so if that’s a style that appeals to you, just go for it. Here you won’t really have to choose between choosing from a men’s or women’s section, you just get what you think looks cool.
3.Overalls
Overalls are great for anyone, and it’s the most gender-neutral piece of clothing in our opinion. You can change the entire look of them by choosing to wear a colorful t-shirt, a lacy or mesh top, or even a blouse under them. It’s truly a piece of clothing that has no gender affiliation.
4.Boiler suits
Fitted, structured, or baggy, boiler suits are a staple of gender-neutral fashion. You can call them boiler sits, coveralls, workwear, the name really doesn’t matter. What matters is that it’s a piece of clothing that is an outfit in itself. It’s got a pretty genderless vibe to it and we think it’s pretty awesome.
5.Oversized cardigans
Yes, a good old cardigan has been a staple in everyone’s wardrobe for many years, and it’s a perfect example of a gender-neutral clothing item. Anyone can wear it, and depending on the cut, color, and style, a humble cardigan can actually make any outfit gender-neutral.
6.Loose fitting clothing
Loose-fitting clothes in gender are generally common in gender-neutral fashion. They do a great job of distracting from one’s feminine or masculine features and just making you look sort of genderless and cool.
7.Oversized t-shirts
Oversized tees are the best. You can tick them in if you want to define your waist, you can wear them as a dress, or you can wear them just over your jeans to add to that oversized vibe. It’s possibly the simplest, yet the most effective option when going for that gender-neutral look.
8.Button-downs
Say what you want but a good button-down can make anyone look effortlessly chic. Hawaiian print will work well for a chill vibe, while a silk/satin one will make you look hot AF. You can wear it unbuttoned over a t-shirt, or under a sweatshirt or a jumper with just the collar peeking out, or you can leave a few top buttons open for that sexy look. You honestly can’t go wrong with a good button-down.
