Fashion word of the week: Androgynous Fashion

This week, we look at androgynous fashion, a movement that defies gendered clothing rules and embraces self-expression with a stylish mix of masculine and feminine components. What is androgynous fashion? Androgynous fashion blurs the distinctions between "masculine" and "feminine" clothing designs and styles. It's all about adopting a range of styles that express your unique personality, regardless of gender.

Outfit Inspiration:

The Power Suit: A classic example is a tailored pantsuit. Think stylish jackets, clean pants, and a button-down shirt. You can add a feminine touch with a stunning necklace or heels, or go sleek and androgynous with loafers and a simple chain.

The Borrowed Boyfriend Look: Wear a boyfriend jacket or an oversized button-down shirt with straight leg jeans or cuffed chinos to create a casual vibe. A colourful scarf adds a punch of colour, while dainty ballet flats add femininity.

The Elevated Tee: Layer a plain t-shirt under a structured pinafore dress or jumpsuit. This produces a cool contrast between casual and formal features.

The Playful Mix: Do not be afraid to experiment! Pair a flowy maxi skirt with a graphic tee, or a feminine blouse with tailored cargo trousers. It’s all about creating combinations that make you feel confident and fashionable.

Here are some ways for incorporating androgynous features into your current wardrobe:

Experiment with proportions: Pair big pieces with fitted ones. Try a boxy blazer with slimmer jeans or a flowy top tucked into high-waisted pants.

Neutrals Are Your Friend: Neutral hues such as black, white, grey, and beige are ideal for establishing an androgynous base. Accessories or standout pieces are usually a good way to add colour.

Accessorize wisely: Jewellery, belts, and purses can personalize your androgynous appearance. To boost your look, try dramatic earrings, hefty chains, or a striking belt. Remember that androgynous fashion is about expressing yourself. Don't be afraid to explore, have fun, and create a style that is entirely yours!
