This works for pipe band uniforms as everyone is supposed to look the same.
Come to think of it, you're absolutely right. Change the little things, like sock height, turnover & style, hem height & rise, and it will be quite feminine.

Maybe ask some of the Highland dancers what the differences are...nobody would mistake a girl for a guy in that context, for all they're supposed to be "men's dances".
