Your style, your identity, your revolution
Fashion is much more than clothes. It is a way to express who you are, how you feel today, and how you choose to inhabit the world. For genderfluid people, this relationship with clothing can be an even deeper journey. How to create a style when your identity is not fixed? How to dress when your gender changes or expands depending on the day, time, or emotion?
Here we leave you keys, ideas and reflections to create a style that makes you feel good, authentic and powerful.
What does it mean to be gender fluid?
Gender fluid is an identity within the non-binary umbrella. It means that your experience of gender is not static, but rather flows between different gender identities or expressions. You may feel more masculine one day, more feminine another, both at the same time, or neither.

1. Explore what makes you feel comfortable every day
You don’t have to create a “gender fluid uniform.” In fact, many people feel that the fun is in the freedom to dress differently based on their gender expression that day. For some people, this may mean:
- Wear a skirt and makeup for one day.
- Choose an oversized suit and chunky shoes another day.
- Opt for neutral and minimalist clothing at another time.
The point is: you are not forced to define yourself by your clothes. Your clothes express who you are, they do not define you.
2. Build a versatile wardrobe
If you are gender fluid, it may be practical for you to create a wardrobe with combinable pieces that allow you to play with your expression. Some ideas:
✔️ Oversized shirts (they can be masculine, feminine or neutral depending on how you combine them).
✔️ Wide leg pants, joggers or cargo, which don’t mark your silhouette if you don’t want to.
✔️ Tight tops or crop tops for days when you want to emphasize your torso.
✔️ Structured or unstructured blazers, depending on the image you want to convey.
✔️ Key accessories: chains, scarves, caps, rings, statement or minimalist earrings.
3. Use makeup and hairstyle as tools of expression
Fashion doesn’t end with clothes. Makeup and hair are powerful ways to affirm your gender expression:
💄 Do you feel femme today? Graphic eyeliner, glossy and glitter lips.
💈 Do you feel masc today? Marked eyebrows, natural skin, slicked back or shaved.
🌟 Do you feel outside the binary today? Play with colors, shapes and textures without rules.
4. Get inspired by fluid gender references
Here are some names that inspire with their style and their way of inhabiting fashion:
- Jaden Smith: play with genderless skirts, colors and silhouettes.
- Indya Moore: combines femme and masc elements with elegance and strength.
- Jonathan Van Ness: his dresses, shorts and genderless looks inspire freedom.
- Ruby Rose: an androgynous icon with urban and minimalist style.
5. Don’t force yourself to fit into unisex or genderless fashion
Although unisex or genderless collections can be useful, they do not always reflect all forms of expression of genderfluid people. If you fancy a ruffled dress or a fitted suit, go for it. If one day you want neutral clothes without gender cuts, too. You decide, not the brands.
Critical perspective: is genderless fashion really inclusive?
Although more and more brands are launching “genderless” collections, some voices criticize that they tend to have masculine aesthetics, leaving out more feminine or extravagant expressions. Additionally, many genderless collections are expensive and not accessible to everyone. Are we creating inclusive fashion or a new elitist marketing niche? Perhaps the true revolution is to use fashion as a tool of freedom, not as a market label.
6. Create your own gender fluid style in 3 steps
✅ Step 1: Clean out your closet and keep only clothes that excite you or that you see yourself wearing in different gender expressions.
✅ Step 2: Experience unexpected combinations one day at home. Take photos of outfits that you feel comfortable in, save them for days without inspiration.
✅ Step 3: Go out into the world with your look. Observe how you feel and what emotions each combination generates in you. Fashion is also self-knowledge.
Genderfluid fashion is not a trend. It is a way of existing and expressing yourself freely, without labels that limit you. Your style doesn’t have to be defined today forever. Allow yourself to flow, change and play.
Because in the end, the only real rule is that you look in the mirror and think: “This is me, today. And that’s okay.”
