Anyone find they dress more in the winter months

[kate dresser]

Courious to know why,but I seem to want to dress more in the fall and winter months. don't know if its because the ladies are wear nylons more or if you can layer your clothes to hide the male features. Do anyone here got through spouts of not dressing for a while and when the feeling comes back it's a stonger desire to progress your dressing and trying to go out in public?

[Karren H]

Yep!!! Heat and makeup don't mix well!! Lol.

I also play more ice hockey in the winter.... Got to be a correlation between crossdressing and crosschecking there some where? :)

I dress more during the winter months. Due to having more time to myself. Kids are at school snd the wife works outside the home. Sometimes I go for almost a year without dressing, then I feel the urge and I get all dressed up just to hang out at the house for the day.... Since it's not accepted at my house. I stay in the closet... But that's life!

For me it's not so much the winter- because I desire it a lot in the summer too. Although I don't dress all the time or have the desire to, it just comes in spurts. In fact, I've noticed that I have more spring/summer clothes than I do winter.

[Valerie1973]

Oh yes, I too only dress in the fall and winter, for I just love fall fashion. It's too hot in the summer and as much as I'd like to wear a summer dress, they don't look good on me. Also, winter does allow me more free time with the kids at school.

[TGMarla]

I prefer winter months because I can wear nice sweaters and stuff, and not sweat so much. But the static electricity in the colder months is a pain. But whether it's static or sweat, I'm pretty consistent all year round.

[Sandy Banks]

Fall thru spring, never in summer...............................

[celeste26]

Wearing the forms in summer means I sweat underneath but in Winter means they stay where I put them better.

[ninapuella]

When i am thinking about it, yes it seems that i dress more in the winther. But i really dont know why.

[suchacutie]

The "inverted triangle", broad shoulders, and muscular arms syndrome does not lend itself well to sleeveless anythings! With air conditioning it's less of a problem dressing in the summer, but the idea of being outside in 100+ degree heat and high humidity with a wig, makeup, and enough clothes to cover the masculine tendencies is a bit hard to deal with. So, summer days are just not conducive. Nights...that's another matter!

Well, my desire/urge to crossdress continues throughout the year.
However, since I always wear pantyhose, it is certainly more comfortable to wear them in the winter.
Of course, I love wearing them year round, even in the heat of summer!

[AllieSF]

I started out dressing more in the winter months because it got darker earlier facilitating an easier exit from home. Now, it is pretty well evened out and really depends on opportunities to meet up with friends and desire to go solo when the friends are not available.

[Lorileah]

shorter days, so many things to do, laziness....nope I don't dress enough in the winter. Besides I like short skirts and open toed shoes and that isn't conducive to freezing weather

[Crissy Kay]

I think I do dress more in the colder weather, as I find wearing PH more comfortable the colder it gets.

[Salina]

I dress more in the winter too. I work two jobs from April through November and have so much more free time in the winter months. As I'm coming off a 3+ year hiatus from crossdressing making up for lost time is high on my list of things to do this winter.

[Tasha McIntyre]

Absolutely, Brisbane is very tropical.....hot and humid in the summer (right now) and mild and dry in the winter which makes it a lot more comfortable for a wig and makeup. If I need to get out these days it's with the air con blasting into the make up room, air con blasting in the car on the way to the air con mall. Bring on April to October :)

[Alice Torn]

Karren, does crosschecking, mean you put more checks (monetary), into dressup stuff?! I see the point of dressing more in this time of year, wearing more layers of clothing covering maleness more! I would have to wear dress low or high heels, though, as i have no girl boots. A bit touchy on ice and in snow! Ha!

[DebsUK]

Definitely! Let's face it, how many of us have the figure carry off skimpy summer clothes? In winter all those squashing, pinching and smoothing undies aren't uncomfortablly hot. I also like winter style. I love boots and layers, and a nice pair of opaque tights really sets off your winter look. Obviously there's also the added cover of darkness for sneaking out at night

[PretzelGirl]

If I dress more at one time of the year than another, than I don't notice it. Each time has its styles and it is just a matter of playing with them to get what you need. But I also have no kids and could see school and the early darkness having an effect for many.

[Angie G]

Not at all I dress about the same in all 4 Seasons.:hugs:

[naye]

I do, is easier to underdress and stockings help to keep warm.

[cheryl]

I agree with a lot of the same reasons the others do. The cooler months allow for more clothing without being to uncomfortable. Plus I like to shave off the body hair and when I can't be dressed fem I can cover with my male clothing and nobody can tell.

[Diane Smith]

I think fall/winter fashions are the prettiest, and don't care that much for lightweight and revealing summer wear. Makeup and hair last longer in the cooler weather. And I can wear great boots, closed shoes and stockings when it's a little cooler.

On the other hand, slipping and sliding on the ice in spike heels is scary (and hard on the shoes), and I hate to cover everything up with a heavy coat, gloves, hat and scarf.

So fall is probably my best season -- before the really nasty winter stuff hits. But I can be happy going out at any time of the year.

Speaking for myself, I dress throughout the year. I have things in my closet that work in both seasons, even during the summer. As far as makeup goes, my $1 makeup somehow lasts really well in the summer, and even through water rides at Disneyland! I should know... I'm an annual passholder!

[kimmie_sub]

I actually dress less in winter. When I dress up I have an overwhelming urge to go out enfemme, so I'll either go to a club, or drive and walk. I usually wait until evening to do this, especially during the really hot months I'as I agree with the comments that makeup + heat + humidity don't mix!

[kimmie_sub]

Another thought that I forgot to include: high heels and snow and ice don't mix (even high heel boots) and shivering in cold Chicago winter months is not sexy!

[sherri]

I much, much prefer the warmer months cuz I like summer fashion better. But I do agree that summer does mean more pressure to look good, but hey, that's motivation, right? I feel my best and most fem in the spring and summer when I get in shape, get a nice tan and slip on the denim skirt and sandals.

[Maria 60]

In the winter its like regular dressing to wear pantyhose.

[kimdl93]

I certainly dress differently. Its so hot down here in Houston that I spend much of the summer in light, loose and cool attire. Now that cooler weather is here I can comfortably wear tights, longer woolen skirts and sweater dresses.

[Sharon B.]

As much as I enjoy dressing, this year in the winter I haven't dressed as much as I have in the spring thru fall.

[Karinsamatha]

I have dressed year round, but I do perfer three of the four seasons we get. I love to wear sweaters, and boots. :)

[Stephanie47]

I tend to dress more in the spring and fall. During the summer my spouse is off from work. During the spring and fall I can brew a cup of coffee, make a breakfast and sit outside and read the newspaper. During the winter months there is just too much rain where I live, which just does not bring on the mood to dress as much. As to the summer I would love to be able to dress all the time. A hot day around here is 75-80 with low humidity. I just love short flowery summer dresses.
