neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine in appearance;

Forget another night of braving the cold come in a glitzy sequinned party dresses; trade for an oversized singlet top & some black skinny jeans. Team with tussled bed hair and accessorise with a simple black clutch and go easy on the makeup, foundation & eyeliner ought to do it.

Break the mould at this year's Christmas parties, give the cocktail dress a rest and strut your stuff in a tailored suit. Simple basics, black suit, white shirt & skinny white tie ought to do it. For a more feminine twist, try teaming a tailored suit with a ruffled shirt.

Shop like a man. Forget Topshop, check out Topman. Guys don't enjoy the fashion they are lucky enough to have at their disposal so let's give them a hand; try casual flat shoes, brogues, cardi's & shirts.

Dust off the Doc's. Don't have a pair? Jump on ebay and grab yourself (an already worn in) a pair. Their quality means they'll last you a lifetime and they can be teamed with anything from jeans to floral sun dresses.

Incorporate braces into your corporate wardrobe; try popping a pair on with a loose white shirt tucked into plaid shirts over opaque tights with flat brogues . Do not underestimate the boys/teens section either, us girls tend to be a wee bit smaller/different shaped than the fella's & so if that's the case for you, give the younger male section of stores a go - you'll be amazed at what you find (super fabulous super hero undies are often nearby and while not strictly androgynous they are strictly awesome!).

In the market for a new watch? Don't overlook blokes styles - they are often way more edgy & versatile than their feminine counterparts.

It's simple, Avril probably scared you out of it for the past few years but the time has come for us non rock/punk/pop star girls to bring back the tie - corporate or casual! If you're still a little afraid wearing a tie may have you regarded as emo or Avril fan (not that there is anything wrong with that, it just may not be the look you so desire); try using a scarf in navy, maroon or brown and tie around your neck in as you would do a tie.

Enjoy wide leg trousers with a tucked in shirt or t-shirt and create a sense of mystery with a bowler/trilby hat dipped coyly over one eye.

Get your vest out! Worn over a loose fitting crisp white shirt with a neck tie is the epitome of androgynous fabulousness.
