    Nonbinary people, have you ever seen gender neutral looking exercise clothes? I run XC at school, and I never know what I could wear to kinda match my gender expression (that was an awkward way to word it)

    like a lot of the girls on my team (bc I'm dfab so on a girls team) wear tank tops and shorts (really feminine looking obv) I usually wear a moderately big t shirt, not super big, just big enough so that you can't see the outline of my body rly

    but I still would wear shorts, with longer spandex shorts underneath (i'm just kinda big on modesty)

    Still looks pretty feminine with the shorts, I mean nothing against it but sometimes I'm more agender (bc I'm genderfluid) and would rather look more gender-neutral

    maybe this is a really stupid question, but I already spent this time typing this so I might as well post it..have any of you seen gender neutral or gender neutral appearing exercise clothes/outfits?

    Hey! I'm a demigirl who runs XC too :slight_smile: I'm not personally modest and I tend to run in as little clothing possible, and it helps that the XC boys at my school don't mind wearing shorter shorts either so I don't feel too feminine. Maybe you can try wearing basketball shorts? They're pretty long and I know girls and guys who run in them.

    I would probably go with longer basketball shorts as time lord said, also maybe gender neutral colors/cuts of t-shirts. (no pink v-necks).

    I ran xc too! I'd go for men's running shorts: shorter than basketball shorts but longer than women's shorts. I also always liked long sleeved shirts under t-shirts; it widens the shoulders a bit. When it gets colder, spandex under shorts and lots of layers!
