clothing dysphoria? but I'm not too upset right now
Taking my girlshower, doing some girlshaving, and then putting on my boy clothesbut one day I won't be putting boy clothes on! This is the happiest I've been with my body in a while though, not because of what it is but because of what it will be.
What kind of girl clothes do you want to wear?
I don't know, I think I'd like girl shorts. crop tops/tang tops both look so good but I know I don't have the body for them now. I also really love the idea of fishnets at some point.
Some of it might be my body too, I feel like my hips are very flat and my clothes are very like, boxy?
Hah, you're bold. Starting off strong!
One thing about transition for me was suddenly becoming subject to female beauty standards. I became aware of things that I never would have never noticed as a guy. I also had to drop some weight to look the way I want to in women's clothing.
Definitely same here, there's so many things that I was unaware of. The other day someone was talking about how she researched facial structures to figure out what glasses she should wear. Like
and yea I'm going to need to lose some weight too.
Uhm, depends what you like and what you want it for.
So, if you want to find out what kind of clothes work for you, then you should look for dirt cheap ones just so you can see what you like. For example, short skirt, ankle length skirt, dress, blouse, shorts crop top, etc. this way you can figure out what looks good on your body and what you like without dumping a lot of money.
If you actually want to wear things out, then you can stay pretty androgynous. You can grab some blouses that basically look like button downs or tunics, and guys don't know the difference. Even basic long sleeve girl tops are cut a bit differently and are more stylish, and most people won't clock that it's for women. As far as bottoms go, you can get really loose fitting cotton/linen pants especially in the summer. These are great because they are so loose and flowy that when you stand still, they basically look like a skirt.
Accessories you can buy what my wife calls costume jewelry. Really cheap shit that looks good to me. Rings, bracelets, clip on earrings, brooches, stuff like that. You can really dial how femme you wanna be depending on how many accessories you want to throw on.
While it's not clothing, nail polish can really bring an outfit together. It's also becoming more common for guys to have their nails painted which may make you feel less pressure.
It's not exciting or anything, but if you're building a wardrobe, it's good to have neutral/flat color basic tops to wear because you'll be able to pair them with anything you want to wear over it.
Also, don't get discouraged if you don't immediately like the way you look. Consider this a new skill you're learning. It takes time to figure out your aesthetic.
Wow, when I started writing, I didn't know I was going to say this much. Good luck!
Blouses don't look that gender neutral? Like if I saw a guy wearing that I'd find that weird (and I really do look like a guy right now)
These look like sweatpants?
Jewelry is such a good idea I keep forgetting about! I actually need to get some the very next time I get a chance.
Nail polish is another good idea, honestly I'm not sure how into it I am but I should try it at least once.
Layering clothes looks so good and I'm so envious of it. Eventually
I liked reading it all! It could have been longer! Thank you, I need the luck.
Sorry, I don't know the names of things either. Let me give you some examples from my personal collection.
Blouses:
This one just looks like a shirt to most folks. I've gotten compliments from guys who say they want one. Also, I still look like a guy, too. Literally have a beard most of the time.
I guess this isn't a blouse, but it's a women's top. Super loose. Has that bat wing cut you can't find in men's clothes. Very neutral. Pairs well with a black undershirt.
Pants:
I'm not talking sweats. I mean very wide legged straight pants like this:
Yeah, try out painting your nails! It's one of my favorite things
Thank you! That blouse looks great :sicko-wistful:
