There’s nothing better than androgynous clothing to avoid being cataloged by gender and all related stereotypes.
Some androgynous clothing brands are designed to disguise the gender of the wearer.
However, other androgynous clothing labels allow the wearer to showcase where they see themselves on the spectrum of gender identification.
I find the latter ideal if your clothes change a lot, whether you want your outfits to be perceived as masculine or feminine.
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the best 26 androgynous clothing brands in 2023.
Whether you’re looking for masculine silhouettes that also flatter curves, feminine cuts for male body types, or a clothing brand that eschews the concept of gender altogether, this article is for you!

What Clothes are Considered Androgynous in 2023?
By definition, the concept of androgynous fashion describes the middle of two extremes.
When the edges come together, what does the middle describe?
As the lines between men’s and women’s clothing fade away, the category of androgyny clothing gets harder to pin down.
In the past, it was easy to picture a selection of androgynous clothing (think structured suits, loose shirts, lots of jeans, and men’s overalls).
On the other hand, modern androgyny pushes towards a panoply of interconnected yet distinct approaches to fashion.
Think Harry Styles gowns or Billie Eilish oversized streetwear outfits.
Or the infamous androgynous suits of Indya Moore – the first trans person of color to cover ELLE Magazine last year.
