When we talk about androgynous fashion, we usually mean female-presenting people in outfits that incorporate or echo menswear. One seldom sees male-presenting people doing the same with womenswear, at least in the mainstream.
I think some of that must be a side effect of the privileging of traits, roles, and characteristics associated with masculinity over those associated with femininity—a woman in masculine-associated roles or clothing is moving in the direction of higher status and increased social privilege, at least implicitly; a man in feminine-associated roles or clothing, lower. We associate women in menswear with freedom and assertion; men in womenswear with deviation, grotesquerie, and parody.
How fucked up is that?
Good commentary, and FUCKING EXCELLENT OUTFIT.
Absolutely perfect. Spot on. I am so so so enamored with this post.
It always confuses me that I see “menswear for fall” and “menswear” during fashion week and “add a touch of menswear to your outfit with a blazer or a bowtie or, etc.” as though it is normal (which it is) yet if men want to incorporate something quote-on-quote “feminine”, then he is considered inferior and abnormal. I would like to see this double standard eliminated!

Within five minutes of putting my binder on this morning...
- Ma: Where did your boobs go?
- Dylan: Huh? Oh, nowhere.
- Ma: So is it tape?
- Dylan: Nah, tape hurts, ma. It's a binder. (*Lengthy explanation of how it works*)
- Ma: Uh huh. That sure is a lot of boob to push down. Mine just lay flat on their own.
- Dylan: Well ma, some of us aren't that lucky.
I like to think that sometimes people don’t know whether I’m a boy or girl, because at least then we’re on the same page.

Girls live as boys in Afghanistan
It’s tough being a girl in Afghanistan.
So some families decide their daughters just won’t do it.
In this New York Times piece, which will hopefully be up for a Pulitzer or the like, Jenny Nordberg explores a trend prevailing in Afghanistan: dressing girl children up like boys to relieve societal pressures to have sons.
The problem, besides the fact that this is completely and utterly wrong, is that some girls like being boys. When they hit puberty, they don’t want to switch back.
This piece is an incredible look into the lives of children forced into gender-bending routines at a young age. Read it, read it, read it.
(Thanks for the reference, Justin!)
THIS IS A MUST READ.
