For cases study emphasizing the practical design methods, an analysis framework was developed from a literature review. Gender neutral menswear fashion in China was classified into deconstructive, queer, fluid, and pluralistic. In the expression of design elements, the most common characteristics were found to be H silhouette, stiff texture, and associated colors matching. These are presumed to result from gender fluidity, i.e. when the boundary between men and women has become ambiguous. The design methods by type of gender neutral menswear in China were considered. The deconstructive gender neutral fashion was characterized by combining elements previously considered women's wear and menswear, e.g. decorating menswear using materials and details with a womenswear, or combining female symbol color. The queer gender neutral fashion was expressed extreme feminine images in menswear through methods that expose the human body, fit and slim silhouettes, transparent, soft textures or wearing items from womenswear as it is. Fluid gender neutral fashion expressed a combination of tradition and modernity, the use of materials heterogeneous in pattern and texture, and harmony between subculture and high class culture. Pluralistic gender neutral fashion appeared in new forms, exhibiting elements in which prior norms were dismantled and recombined under the influence of the cultural and artistic zeitgeist alongside the gender neutral concept of men and women.
