The androgynous aesthetic lends itself beautifully to mix and match: experiment with different silhouettes, textures, and colours. “Be as bold as you like, combining masculine and feminine pieces.

Colours that lend themselves well to a gender neutral palette include mint green, steel grey, navy blue, burgundy, ivory cream, bottle green, mustard brown and light grey. A monotone colour scheme will always look more powerful and neutral than putting too many colours together

Finally, pick a sleek leather crossbody bag, or a tote bag for both form and function, and classic loafers or Chelsea boots to add a polished finish. If you prefer a more streetwear-inspired vibe, chunky sneakers are a safe but edgy bet
