Would anyone give me any tips in how to improve this outfit, please? I'd like them to still keep the androgynous look.

I'm bad at following directions, so instead of throwing out tips, I threw together a couple of models instead.  One is based on the female body, the other male.  Unfortunately, "plain" is what I do best, so I tried creating models that might fit in the movies.

 

Unfortunately, the female template is a bit... uh, problematic for an androgynous look.  I tried a few different "Chest" types to see if I could obscure things a bit, and the following kind of sort of seemed to work - BodySuit Padded, Alpha, Buckled Leather, Chaos Leather, Enforcer, ExoProto, Justice, Omega, Overguard, Sinister (maybe), Tech Wired, Ulterior, and Vanguard.  The example below uses BodySuit Padded, with the pattern of the same name selected.  The chests seem to work best with black as the first color and some shade of grey as the second - flavor to suit.

 

For hair, I dug around for "Switch-adjacent" hairstyles; the model below uses the Shag haricut.  Gamine, Triptych, Styled, and Shimmer seem to work also.

 

The male model is on the one hand easier to make androgynous - nearly every "smooth" or "armored" chest piece works.  On the other hand, the textures on the male faces are almost all "tough guy" looks, with the possible exception of one of the "young" faces.  I selected one almost at random.  Also, I wasn't able to shrink down the monster hands.  Maybe someone else knows a trick for that.

 

The male model has the "Doofus" hair (don't laugh, I've used it), but Princeton, Parted, Genius, Surfer, Deceiver (maybe), Fabo, Hipster, Gusto, and Barbaric (very Keanu Reeves IMO), and Ponytail could work as well.  Maybe some others.

 

Forgive me for throwing the Cybertech Long jacket on these two.  I'm a sucker for it.  Trench coats should work just fine.

I'm not at home yet so I can't play around with the character creator but has anyone ever tried or had luck creating a static / white noise kind of costume pattern? It's not something I've tried before but I thought someone may have some thoughts.

Chainmail is good at breaking up some of the less sharply defined patterns, but it's unfortunately difficult to get a good white and grey contrast with. If you want total static, Psych, Circuitry, or Cheetah 1 seem to work alright. For partial, I liked the looks of Arctic, Baroque, and Layer Stripe. Malaise can work too, if you want mild rainbow static - white primary, medium grey secondary. Mesh blends into it too well - no contrast - but might work with things that aren't chainmail. Can't say I'm completely satisfied with any of them as static, though.
