Ellen Cordeaux Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hi Forumites!I have a good friend who is creating a female alt and is wanting to create the androgynous "boi" appearance. She normally runs a male avi (she is actually very andro in RL) and is very comfortable with that; but is at a loss as to where to shop, mostly for clothing, to create an androgynous female (boi) avatar.Btw, she already knows where to go for hair. It's mostly about clothing. Thanks for any help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli May Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'd have though that kind of avatar would have a huge range of options in clothing, although I'm not 100% sure of what you're asking for. I'm guessing at casual clothing, and avoiding 'girly' and glamorous looks? Any stores that catered to the 'grungy neko' craze would probably work, and maybe some Japanese stores, once you get away from the lolita & princess stuff. I'd certainly not discount dressing a female av in men's clothes for that kind of look, although sizing for mesh items would likely be messed up. Off the top of my head, I'd suggest Dirty Lynx and Bare Rose (the range is huge enough that you'd find something... maybe in the male store?) and... more to follow as I think them up. Gizza (looking at the men's freebies, they have a kind of adrogynous style). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have a couple of things from a shop that defines itself as andro, but I just can NOT remember the name right now. If you'll send me an IM I will take a look next time I'm inworld—I know I still have a top from there. Don't know if they're still in business but I heard them mentioned not all that long ago so there's a good chance they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Strange, I just saw this on FashionFeedofSL. Just passing you the link: http://multimuse.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/androgynous-series-8/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen Cordeaux Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Ooo, these are all good suggestions; thank you! I will pass along this link to my friend. More suggestions are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Levenque Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I just was inworld and for a wonder I remembered I was going to look this up, even without getting IM'd about it. The store is still going and still in the same location: my TP, which is at least two years old, took me there. The store is called Excess and the tagline is 'Androgyne Style'. It looks even bigger than I remembered it. Clothes, avatars, hair, probably more. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/eXceSs/134/125/45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidnella Riler Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Miamai, and Ladies who lunch clothes would suit some of the styles you are after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen Cordeaux Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks for looking that up Dillon. Wow, Miamai and Ladies who lunch...I shop at both of those places; I never would have thought. Then again, I'm a girly girl, so I wasn't looking with the right 'eye' so to speak. lol Will pass these along. Moar suggestions please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retronatrix Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 She might want to check out Hell Bop, also. Mostly retro but also very stylish men's clothing that work for both male and female. I joined the special group they have to get everything in the whole store for one price and wear the men's clothes all the time. They're generally very well done.

Clover Jinx Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) Pffffft people have been necroposting all over this shiny new software. I guarantee you won't be the last and you helped me find something *I* was looking for.

sweetgem Clemenceau Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 A (female) friend of mine (JonaWebster Resident) played an androgyn teenager for a long time - back then she mostly wore Jeans, DocMartens and wide sweaters or tshirts, had short hair, and used to act very tomboyish. Her back-then best friend even used to wear a self-made tshirt reading "Jona's not my BOYfriend" on its front. I need to ask her next time we're both inworld which shape she used, and where she bought her clothes back then..I do remember though that her hair used to be a dark brown version of "Natalie" from a shop named "sWEET HAIRs sWEET FACEs", because I'm wearing a blonde version of the same hair when not wearing my hood.
