People use '''clothes''' as a way of talk without words, to tell others what kind of person they are. However, because [[gender identity]] is different than [[gender expression]], a person's gender identity may or may not correlate with how they wear their hair or clothes. For example, if someone likes to wear clothes from the women's wear department, or feminine accessories, that doesn't necessarily mean that they identify as a [[female|woman]]. There is no set style or guidelines for [[nonbinary]] presentation due to the diversity of identities encompassed within these terms. Clothing links and descriptions may be identity-specific as well as subject to variation by the individual. For example, a person identifying as an [[androgyne]] may not necessarily wish to [[Nonbinary#Nonbinary_presentation_and_expression|present]] as [[androgyny|androgynous]]. Some nonbinary people like clothes that don't give any female or [[male]] markers (gender-neutral fashion). Other nonbinary people like clothes that mix female and male markers (mixed-gender fashion). Yet other nonbinary people wear clothes that are very similar to either conventional women's wear or conventional men's wear.

'''A note on language:''' Although some nonbinary-friendly talk tries not to use this kind of language, this article has to use the phrases "women's wear" and "men's wear" in order to talk about the characteristics of these categories as they are usually sold.

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.

* '''Colors and patterns.''' Neutral colors are gender-neutral: white, black, gray, and brown. Most other colors are fine, as well, but avoid colors that are feminine markers, such as pink, purple, magenta, and pastels. Avoid decorations that could be seen as feminine or masculine markers. As a result, a gender-neutral outfit can end up looking practical, austere, or utilitarian.

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.)

* '''Adding one accessory from a different gender expression.''' For example, an outfit that is conventional "men's wear," except for shoes (particularly heels), jewelry, bags, or tights from "women's wear." It can also mean a conventional "women's wear" outfit with the addition of a tie or practical shoes. Since it's only one accessory, the effect can be striking or subtle. This is a good option for people who want to experiment with mixed gender fashion. If a place seems unfriendly, and one feels unsafe, one needs only remove the accessory.

* '''Combining aspects of personal grooming from more than one gender expression.''' For example, wearing both eye makeup and facial hair. To popular perception, some outfits are made mixed-gender by the mere presence of either makeup or facial hair with an outfit that is otherwise conventional "women's wear" or "men's wear." (Note, though, that about 40% of cisgender women have facial hair,<ref>Julie Bindel, "Women: embrace your facial hair!" ''The Guardian.'' August 20, 2010. [http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/aug/20/women-facial-hair http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/aug/20/women-facial-hair]</ref> so society has only arbitrarily decided that this is not a feminine marker.)

* '''Combining the form of one gender expression with the color, pattern, or texture of another.''' For example, redesigning an otherwise masculine article-- such as a rugged hiking boot, business suit, or even just a tie-- so that it has feminine markers such as pastels, florals, or cut-outs.
