10 Androgynous Style Staples You Need in Your Closet

Style is timeless — and it can also be genderless. Androgynous style is all about including both masculine and feminine aspects in the outfit. Non-binary identifying folks sometimes enjoy sporting an androgynous style as the visual appearance of androgyny can also mean a gender-neutral approach to fashion. Celebs like Cate Blanchett, Cara Delevingne, Miley Cyrus, Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart are examples of stars who do androgynous fashion well.

We’ve collected 10 androgynous style staples to stock your wardrobe with quality pieces that make every body look incredible.

Overalls

From farm to city, overalls are the perfect way to kick off this androgynous list. Grab a corduroy set and pair it over a turtleneck for a comfortable, chic and gender neutral look.

Blazer

A great piece thrown over a tee, a dress, overalls… really the styling spectrum of this one is as vast as the genders of people that look good in it.

Honestly, you’ll find the best blazers in thrift and vintage stores. We recommend sizing up to fit cozy sweaters and layers underneath.

Handkerchief

An often overlooked accessory, a good handkerchief can serve as many things, a neck tie, hair tie, bracleter or in a pinch, a face mask. While it gets points for its multi uses, it also scores big for its androgynous appeal across the entire gender spectrum.

We’re eyeing these ones from Madewell.

Chore jacket

A good “chore jacket” is the farthest thing from a chore when it looks this great on everyone. Bonus: its great for stealing — We mean borrowing — from friends and partners.

We would gladly swipe this Everlane chore jacket.

A classic pair of kicks

You can’t go wrong with a nice crisp white set of sneakers in your androgynous line up. Good for human identified feet, a nice casual shoe will keep a little bit of edge to your look.

This doesn’t have to be complicated, get the classic high top unisex Chuck Taylor All Stars and call it a (well styled) day.
