==Advice for anyone==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

Some fashion advice has useful application for people of any gender expression, gender identity, or [[gender assigned at birth]]. For example, how to choose clothes that fit well, and that flatter one's figure. For transgender and nonbinary people, the cost of making a change to one's wardrobe can be big. It shouldn't be the biggest cost, so one needs to think about how to make it affordable. This includes how to make a budget, catalog one's wardrobe, plan a minimalist wardrobe, shop cheaply and wisely in second-hand, and easy ways to modify and repair clothes.

Also called "unisex" or "androgynous" fashion, the gender-neutral aesthetic is about avoiding female/feminine markers ''and'' male/masculine markers. A person of any gender can use anything from this aesthetic without looking like they are mixing gender markers. The challenge is that some clothing is thought to be gender-neutral, and is closer to that category than anything, but would still look just a little bit out of place if it was in the men's wear section. Because Western culture to a significant degree sees male and masculine as default or unmarked, and because the rules of men's wear are arguably stricter than women's, men's wear tends to unavoidably get (mis)used as gender-neutral. Nonetheless, it is still possible to avoid some explicit masculine markers while pursuing a gender-neutral look.

'''Elements of fashion that are gender-neutral:'''

* '''Kleuren en patronen.''' Neutrale kleuren zijn genderneutraal: wit, zwart, grijs en bruin. De meeste andere kleuren zijn ook goed, maar vermijd kleuren die vrouwelijke connotaties hebben, zoals roze, paars, en pastels. Vermijd decoraties en patronen die als mannelijk of vrouwelijk gelezen worden. Bijgevolg kunnen gendernutrale outfits soms praktisch, utilitair of sober ogen.

* '''Kleding voor het bovenlichaam''' Mannelijke hoodies en sweatshirts. Sommige seaters, afhankelijk van de snit. Overhemden. Topjes. Lederen of jeansjasjes. Zakelijke blazers. <!-- I don't understand the sentence " T-shirts are cut differently for men's wear and women's wear, but they wear them interchangeably." so I can't translate it in a meaningful way -->

* '''Kledij voor het onderlichaam.''' Jeans. Overalls. Jumpsuits. Een short is niet genderneutraal aangezien de "mannelijke" versie een bemerkelijk andere snit heeft (veel langer).

* '''Schoeisel.''' Sneakers, in het bijzonder Converse Allstar. Sommige types laarzen.

* '''Haar en hoofddeksels.''' Ballonpetten, hoewel dit gecontesteerd is.

* '''Accessoires.''' Genderneutrale halsaccessoires: scoutingdassen, wintersjaals, korte kettingen van hennep. Juwelen: hennep vriendschapsbandjes. Genderneutrale tassen zijn: aktetassen, schoudertassen, laptopttassen, heuptassen, rugzakken en grote tote bags.

The [[LGBT]] community often calls this "genderfuck," although some give it a gentler name, such as "genderplay."<ref>Raphael Carter, "Angel's Dictionary." 1996-07-14. [http://web.archive.org/web/20050308185631/http:/www.chaparraltree.com/raq/angels.shtml]</ref> In clothing, this gender expression combines traits from that which is conventionally considered "women's wear" with "men's wear," though the wearer can identify as any gender. (Gender expression isn't the same as gender identity.)
