What stop do I get off at? Hmmm...
OMG no! There are very few items of mens clothing that I even find esthetically pleasing at all, even when worn by another person.
I personally HATE to wear clothes that are made for men. It so galls me every time I pull on a pair of pants I feel angry, oppressed and even humiliated. Every step I take I am mentally and physically irritated. The very rare exception is a shirt that may like. But I even dislike wearing them, because any shirt is still part of the male costume I am required to present myself in. Worn by others, or in a window display I have no appreciation for them. I hate wearing them so much I cannot put it into words.
Sincerely, Love to you all,
Rachel Xavier

Actually, I'd be horribly uncomfortable in women's clothing for a lot of situations, but particularly those that involve exercise.
Maybe it's because of my odd-sized body, but I find most women's clothes very restrictive. As much as I love silky panties and such I couldn't imagine enjoying them during a hike.
From a fashion standpoint I'm no expert. My male uniform is khakis and long-sleeve tees, but I do like looking good so when I pick out mens' clothing it's certainly no chore.
I hate to be such a spoil sport, but you're wrong on this. Just check out the FTM section and you'll discover women have just as many problems CDing as men.
I don't CD anymore and still on the occasion by male clothing (jeans and sneakers fit better on me) and yet I do get questioned about it! So I can't even imagine how a FTM must feel.
There isn't one group, gender or sex that has it any easier. Just different problems.

I now dislike wearing men's clothing but admit there are times that I have to at least wear some male outer wear. However; my wife is in the process of purging my male clothes without my input as she feels we need more room for my expanding femme wardrobe which I now wear most of the time.

I love women's fashion. But there are male outfits both dressy and casual that I can put on and look in the mirror and smile at. Although I can enjoy both sides, while shopping it's usually, while walking in the men's department "boring..boring..", then getting to the women's department "OMG I love that dress!"
lol no see Wendy is not a cross dresser on her own being ..... lol OK yes sometimes Wendy dose cross dress.........
Male clothes have their place for me, They are good for going to work in, And doing things that would wreck a nice dress. Do I like them. Well I don't wake up in the morning thinking "What fun thing will I wear today". It is more like "Ho Hum, Must get dressed for work"
my sister's reply when I told her how I prefer to dress
"Everyone has there thing, all that matters is that you are happy, love what you do and who you do it with"
The keyword here (for me) is ENJOY. To answer the question, in a word, NO. Male clothing is soooooo boring, whereas Female clothing is a world of colors, textures, scents, etc.
The only male clothing I wear to work daily is shirts & socks. Everything else is female......jeans (feel & fit better), underwear (low-rise thong), and sneakers (they fit me better because my feet are narrower than the "typical" male).
Heck yes. I couldn't imagine working on cars, shoveling snow or exercizing in a girdle bra garters and heels.
enjoy drab clothing large and baggy
to accentuate my comparative,
idealised feminine delicacy.
have worn too many sharp fitting suits and ties
even tie my own bow tie.
but a brooks brothers silk bow around a silky, femme neck,
oh, let it be me..

Do I want to go shopping for male clothing? I would rather crawl on my belly over a bed of broken glass. If you mention shopping for women's apparel --hey I'm in the car waiting for you to hurry up.

I wear male clothes for work and around family, however I own more female items than male. My dressing is about 3 times a week though and I used to dress almost everyday and when dressing almost everyday my male clothes almost became the costume and my girl items became normal.
I rather just go naked all the time, but since you asked.... yeah, I like men's clothes just fine. I like to wear jeans and a T with a witty saying a lot in male mode, plus there is the whole bare-chested look when it is hot outside

I have a very hard time shopping for drab clothes,nothing fits and it takes forever.I like clothes to fit pretty snug,they just don't make them that way anymore.I can grudgingly put up with it.Its really the "crotch to the knees" or the "baggy rear end" look, I find the most hideous and revolting.I guess whatever makes profits they make more of and forget about the rest.
Male clothing does have it's uses, such as doing activities where I would not want to damage my femme clothing such as cutting the grass, and physical fitness training in 100 degree weather.
No I will do it because I have to at some point. but shopping for skirts, dresses shoes and all the other thing we need to be girly I colud do it every day hun.

On the shopping trip I mentioned on the other thread I was really surprised because we found some really nice clothes which is very similar to what i would normally wear en femme in terms of style, colour, cut and material.

Wow, I guess I"m in the minority on this too!!! I enjoy wearing comfortable clothes most of the time, so that means sweat pants and t-shirts for me most days. I suppose you could call it unisex, as GGs like these too!!!!
Male Clothes? huh, what is that?
Seriously, for every bit of nominally male clothing, I buy the female equivalent - Girls jeans, girls blouses that look like guys shirts, bras and panties that look like.... well, bras and panties. Opaque stockings/pantyhose that look like guys socks. And Girls shoes that look like guys shoes - almost. Only the heel is that much higher and pointier.
The advantages? Girls jeans are softer, comfier, stretchier (with lycra ofcourse), the girls shirts come in a wider range of colours, and the cut makes me look slimmer (go figure) . The pantyhose protects me from DVT in my job (long inactive periods slumped in a chair), and the bra and panties make me feel "BEAUTIFUL INSIDE"
So I am happy to dress enfemme 24/7, though for all outward appearances I am just a wierdo, not a CD.
