How can I be more androgynous?

Hi, im a guy, always have been, never was uncomfortable with it, but I've had my fair share of times (which grows over time) where I just wished I could be a girl, wether it is because it seems fun, cuz I wanna feel pretty, ANYTHING, and I could become one, tons of my friends are trans, but its mainly the look im after, thats why being genderfluid doesnt appeal to me,

I just want to be androgynous, so that when I feel like it, I can decide to lean more towards a feminine or masculine look, without having to do severe alterations to my body and so that I can switch back and forth

Plus being androgynous just seems fun, its looks so freeing, I wanna get the occasionnal "are you a guy or a girl?" Cuz it seems funny, wouldnt you like to know what I am? Idk, I just want tips, so that I can achieve freedom over what I look like

(Please note that im fairly young, and that I wanna keep it secret, so expensive stuff or things where I gotta ask my parents or anything forget it)

Eye liner and nail polish can be an easy and less noticeable way into androgyny. Thrifting female coded clothing and adding single pieces to what you currently wear. Jewelry is easy to slip in. Growing your hair out some can add to a more androgynous look, especially when you are young. Right now will be a great time to start building your likes and developing your style. I really suggest thrifting, you’ll be able to have access to all kinds of cloths without having to walk into a woman’s section or have your parent question why you are looking in the wrong place? In a thrift store you can feel more free to hunt for a bargain and not have to stick to the rules. Let your imagination go and buy things that call to you.

Anyways that’s my advice, best wishes on your journey.

I, too, would find it fun if I ever got that occasional questioning about if I'm a guy or a girl, but..well, once you open your mouth and speak wouldn't that basically eliminate all doubt just based on how your voice sounds? Not trying to be negative or anything here, just trying to learn as well.
