In Eastern culture, like China where Mulan is from, those are perfectly masculine clothing that he wears in the early production picture. Plus it wasn't uncommon for men to have long hair and do it up just as eleaborately as women.

It's only feminine to people from Western civilisation, such as America and England and western Europe, because of how fashions developed over here. The hair bun is actually not as uncommon as you might think for men with a full head of long hair.

Also, if you look at Europe in the middle ages and renaissance, men used to wear some pretty feminine (when compared to todays standards) clothing, just as tight leggings and elaborate clothing. Originally men wore the fancy clothing and women wore the palin clothing, but then women decided they wanted to wear fancy clothes too. The origin of high heels is highly debated, but there are images of heels actually being worn by King Louis XIV, which goes to show how something 'feminine' in Western civilisations current culture can be seen as masculine years ago or in other countries.
