I think butch probably has a negative connotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-442009 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:01:31 +0000 Esleea 442009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shu,<br /> I'm not sure?? I check online and some people are looking for that style of clothing....."butch style or butch look" So that's why I wanted to know the difference.<br /> I thought the term Androgynous should fit for all uni-sex style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-441866 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:47:45 +0000 Shu 441866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is butch not a derogatory term? I'm just curious, I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe themselves that way, but maybe that's just my circle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-441839 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 16:06:52 +0000 Esleea 441839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Androgynous style, is either dressing like a women or men. It's doesn't determine the sex, and yet you plays with accessories. I think Andrej Pejic and Tilda Swinton represent the Androgynous style pretty well. </p> <p>Butch style is more macho dress, regardless of sex or gender identity. Little baggy, sneakers, tanks and no accessories? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-441826 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:53:21 +0000 Ali 441826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Androgenous suggests identifying as neither (or both) male or female, so any outfit that at first glance could be either masculine or feminine, whereas butch suggests a very clear masculine identity which would only overlap with androgeny when on a woman, on a man it is within the 'expected' spectrum of clothing (although may suggest a more macho element - but would need to be more extreme)</p> <p>I think.....that made more sense in my head.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-441801 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:27:24 +0000 Vildy 441801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Butch is a negation of the feminine and Androgyny, in a woman, is an embrace of the masculine in order to accentuate the feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/butch-style-vs-androgynous-style-whats-the-difference#post-441798 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:23:20 +0000 Esleea 441798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the difference between a Butch Style and Androgynous Style? Or are they the same? </p>
