    Hi!
    I'm wondering if anyone here has any tips about how to look more androgynous. I'm fairly certain that I'm not trans so I don't want to pass as a male, I would just like to fit in between the spectrum in terms of looks. My face looks quite different when I darken my eyebrows and put my hair in a bandanna, but that's as far as I've got. (If anyone's wondering, there's a current picture of me on my profile, but that's me without trying to be androgynous in any way. I will also post more pictures of my experimentation, if anyone responds to this at all!)
    My other question is that I have plans to get a new haircut; what style should I get to maximise androgyny? I was thinking about getting a crew cut, but I'm not sure that it would look any good on me.
    Thank you!

    Um, I always like wearing hats (unisex winter hats/baseball caps depending on the season), loose shirts are good too. You're really pretty by the way!

    I think you already have an androgynous face and that haircut on you looks androgynous too. To look more androgynous dont wear much make up . when you wear tight pants use a loose t-shirt and vice versa. also avoid wearing pink because most times it looks too girly. i hope ive helped.

    Thank you both for the replies.

    Eatsleepclimb, that's a good idea thanks, I'll need to get myself some hats but I think it would help. And thank you! :slight_smile:

    Junalinha, thank you, you have helped.
    I think my problem is that I don't ever wear any makeup, and I only really wear unisex t-shirts and skinnies/men's jeans. Despite this, I still look inherently feminine. I've been doing some experimenting face-wise today and I think that if I shorten my hair in some way then it'll make a big difference. Next job is to choose a style!

    Im glad ive helped. i think that your idea is good because the hair changes a lot someones appeareance i have a few suggestions. have you ever seen the garbage video androgyny? Shirley Manson's haircutt on that video is great. heres the link Garbage - Androgyny - YouTube Shirley had an androgynous phase from 2001 to 2003 here are some links of her on that period. Cherry Lips - Garbage (((OFFICIAL VIDEO 2001))) - YouTube ... Garbage "Shut Your Mouth" Rove [Live] 2002 - YouTube ..
    Garbage - Breaking Up The Girl live at MTV 5 night stand - YouTube .. garbage (live letterman) - YouTube .
    maybe you can get inspired by her looks

    Wow these videos are all great, thank you so much! I love Garbage but I don't think I'd seen any videos before now, and I really love Shirley's hair. Definitely feeling inspired!

    You do have quite an androgynous face. A haircut that doesnt frame your face will help. Nothing 'girly'. Maybe short back and sides with a bit of a chopped fringe??
