I find that it’s pretty easy to incorporate something feminine into your masculine attire, no matter what the occasion. Old Navy has some pretty decent stuff for tops, although I sometimes find they’re a bit boring and frumpy. Some guys can pull off cardigans – and if I could, I’d probably do a lot of that. Brightly-colored t-shirts are probably the way to go, or at least, I think so. I’ve tried women’s tees, and sometimes they’re ok, and sometimes they’re just a little too tight and make me feel self-conscious. That said… It’s unlikely that people are going to be peeking at your underwear throughout the workday, so be as adventurous as you want here! Although if you bend over and someone grabs your exposed G-string, that’s all on you! That said… There are still options! American Apparel do some pretty awesome unisex underwear which comes in a load of colors, both masculine and feminine. Though maybe that’s more of a factor of being 100% certain that I’d look ridiculous in them (to me, it’s all about the look). I’m not into the frilly/lacy panties that some people are. Maybe I’m pretty atypical for a crossdresser, but underwear doesn’t really do it for me. Pocket embellishments are awesome, but I’m yet to find a pair of jeans where they aren’t over-the-top. I like jeans that are a little flared at the bottom, but pretty close-fitting up-top. Then there’s women’s jeans themselves – given the large range of cuts and fits, it might be worth meandering into Sears on a weekend and trying some one while it’s pretty empty. Levis 511’s fare well if you want something fairly unisex. Skinny jeans are pretty awesome here – not super skinny ones that might fall under the term ‘jeggings’ (which is an horrendous portmanteau, for the uninitiated, of ‘jeans’ and ‘leggings’) – only a select few can effectively pull those off, but rather, ones that hug the leg without being obscene. There are a few options here – jeans are a huge and diverse arena to play around with, and women’s jeans are infinitely (ok, that’s not strictly true) varied in cut. You didn’t think I was going to say skirts, did you?! No one ever sees that but me, so I figure I’m probably all good. I generally opt for light-colored, knee-high argyle type-stuff. So no one’s really going to be examining your socks on any real intimate basis, so you can probably wear what you want here. Don’t be afraid to buy bright (green/yellow/pink/blue)! In fact, pretty much any converse low-tops in traditionally-un-male colors works pretty well. I’m not a huge, raving, fan of pink, but these are awesome, pretty girly, but still entirely passable as male footwear also. Probably my favorite pair of shoes is a pair of pink converse low-tops that I own. What you’re going to have to do here is go pretty unisex. Ok, so 4-inch heels are probably out of the question if you want to keep it on the down-low. There are a few ways that I’ve battled with it out and about – and one thing I’ve found that somewhat sates the beast within is to wear stuff that’s pretty unisex, or just slightly over the fence into that other land.įrom the top! Or, I suppose, the bottom: Shoes And yet, that urge to wear what you want and not be shunned or shamed is pretty strong. It’s also hugely visible – it’s difficult to not stand out of the crowd when you’re 6’3 in clicky heels. In Clothes / How-To tagged americanapparel / clothes / converse / crossdresser / oldnavy / shoes by Liz Summersīeing a crossdresser’s pretty tough – there’s this thing that you want to do, but it’s (annoyingly, and stupidly) frowned upon by most people (or at least, the internal paranoiac seems to think so).
