I'm glad you are no longer depressed and your cat is doing well! And thanks for considering my prompt!
I feel like both Chloe and Max dress in relatively (but not quite) gender neutral ways already, which makes it difficult to signify. I have thoughts about how they'd change their hairstyles (Max's bob in particular is probably their strongest feminine marker, so I somewhat doubt that they'd keep it), but struggle as well on clothing. Thinking aloud, I can see Max going for button-downs and suit jackets, it's sort of a masculine-marked and more adult equivalent of their t-shirt and over-shirt combination. Chloe is more difficult, because while Max seems like they have some degree of discomfort with their body canonically (or at least with their body being seen), Chloe has a more in-your-face, "this is my body, fuck your expectations" attitude.
Actually, thinking about my AFAB NB friends, I wonder if Chloe would dress about the same, but take T sufficiently to be able to grow side-burns, and maybe go for a 70's biker style?
The other option that leaps to mind for Chloe's clothing style is modeling their style after Leslie Feinberg.
