So this week i wanna talk about simple ways to be androgynous!
Do you ever listen a song " Androgyny " by Garbage ? Did you want people turn heads when you walk wondering if you are girl or boy? Did you ever feel that you are dissatisfied with the range of apparences condoned by your traditional gender role ?
If yes ! We are in the same situation :D
But first let me preface my story when i realized if im androgyny .
The truth is when i was in my 20s, i was far too afraid to be who i wanted to be, to dress how i wanted to dress, and to quit giving a f*ck what other people thought about who am i . The older I got and the more confident I became with the person I was, the less I cared about what others thought. I let too many years go by trying to be someone else, being uncomfortable in my skin and in my clothes. But I'm proud to say that I've finally developed a sense of style that doesn't just allow me to hold my head up, it also gives me the confidence that conforming to social norms never did. I was already starting to find my style, but now I was focused even more on feeling good about how I looked and felt.
So im here to let you know how to be a androgyny
1. Mens Wear Watch
A nice one is an investment, but you'll be glad you set aside funds to purchase a classic timepiece. Look for a chunky menswear-inspired style in either silver or gold.
Michael Kors watches are hugely popular right now for twenty- somethings. They run around $250, which is a lot of money, but not a totally impossible amount to save up. I used some of the money I made from an internship to buy mine -- a simple silver one with an oyster pearl face. This was several years ago, but I love it just as much now as I did when I first bought it!
It's important that your watch fits tightly enough so that it doesn't rotate around your wrist (or drag when you're writing or typing), but not so tight that it's uncomfortable. You can get links taken out at fine jewelry stores, as well as at some Sam's Club and Costco stores. Save the extra links just in case something gets damaged down the road!
Here are a few more watch brands that will make a statement and are worth investing in: Michelle, Fossil, Dolce & Gabbana, and Betsey Johnson
2. Denim (jeans) & Shoes
As for the shoes, converse and oxfords (high heels for girls) work. Anything will do as long as it's not too flashy or girly. Sneakers will work well for casual dress
but i wear a booth shoes to make me look good
3. Make Up
Try cutting (or having a hairdresser cut) your hair in a pixie cut, either slicked back or natural. If you don't have the proper face shape to get a pixie, you can always get a bob and style it the way you want. Asymmetric haircuts are all the rage right now. If you're a guy; grow your hair long, maybe get a side-fringe. It's more difficult for girls with long hair to look neutral, but if you love your Rapunzel locks or can't stand having hair in your face, you can probably make traditional hair styles work. Or, you could just put all your hair under a hat.
Eyebrow size and shape is another characteristic that is strongly associated with gender. If you are a male, try plucking or waxing your brows to a thinner, arched, feminine brow. If you are a female, try letting your brows grow out to (or keep them as) their natural shape.
If you particularly care for makeup, line your eyes in grey or black eyeliner but nothing too flashy or obvious. Forget the red lipstick and the blush. Stick to foundation, matte powder and maybe concealer to hide the pink in your lips. (Go easy on that; you don't want to look like a corpse).
Thats Simple ways to start look like androgyny :D hope you enjoy it !
