Who Wears the Pants Around Here?

[windycissy]

My evolution as a crossdresser has reached the point where I actually enjoy wearing pants sometimes - with knee highs and ballet flats they're girlie and fun, as GG's will attest they're a lot more comfortable for climbing in and out of a car, it makes passing at a suburban mall a lot easier when you're wearing what all the other women are wearing, and on a chilly day like today there's no thrill to feeling the breeze blowing under your skirt. I have several transgendered friends who wear pants all the time and look very feminine in them, just goes to show that being a woman is a state of mind:

Your evolving into a male!!

[*Vanessa*]

wow - you look great... well put together, for sure.

Pants, me? Yeah, but it's not my doing... ;)

[Cynthia Anne]

I agree Wendy you look great and so natrual!
But I think I will stick with Moe Bandy on this one! ''WHERE'S THE DRESS''! Hugs!

[Amanda Ellis]

I know not too many girls here agree with me, but I've often found that wearing women's slacks (with heels) feels very feminine. Don't ask me why, but I'll hazard a guess and say it's because it's largely what other women are wearing.

[LeaP]

I also like Jeans and slacks. They feel every bit as feminine to me as any other apparel.

Yes!! Same goes here....jeans and slacks most of the time, but prefer skirts and dresses.

I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!!!

Pants in the winter are just kind of a must on some days. I am shopping tomorrow for this outfit style:

I like the very wide-legged pants with a high heel and a tight, embellished top. The top I am looking at is actually black lacing on the sleeves, but everything else is pretty much the same.

Pants can be super cute. Maybe you are feeling more naturally feminine and less like you have something to prove. I never walk into my closet and say, "Okay...I can't wear pants because I need to make sure I am feminine as possible..." I don't really have anything to prove. I just like to look good and put together. And, I think your outfit says that and I think my new one does too!! :)

I maintain a balance between slacks/jeans and dresses/skirts. Most of the time shopping though I prefer to be in capris or slacks/jeans as they are just more comfy and appropriate for that. I will sometimes wear my denim skirt or a skort to the mall.

[AllieSF]

Great look Cissy. Maybe we need to do a ladies pants night out!!?? I occasionally wear them, and, like Shannan, I pick out the outfit to fit the venue and how I feel and want to feel when out. I love a smartly dressed woman in long pants and nice top. I flew to and from Las Vegas to spend 3 days and two nights with Cissy last year. I wore a smart pant suit type traveling outfit and had no problems and felt super femme the whole time. Blending in was another side benefit. Thanks for sharing.

I like slacks/jeans with heels or sandalsat times. I also know my wife is supportive and prefers slacks/jeans on me because at times she thinks my hemlines are a bit short. I have acknowledged her and started to wear longer items of clothing and guess what she was right , and i look and feel more comfortable.

[krissy_toronto]

I love the feel of my jeans with a sexy pair of heels. wife has a few pairs of dress pants I can fit into, little short in length. she hates that i can fit into a size 9 lol

[Carla Stevens]

I love jeans too (sorry Karen).
If I'm going to blend in when out & about I need to dress as all the girls are doing.
I'd draw unwanted attention in a short skirt & high heels, especially during the cold weather. :heehee:

[Susan_Xdress]

Like Allie - If I am traveling, usually by airline, then a pantsuit is practical and less problems with dragging suitcases etc. . . But after arrival, I have to put a skirt or dress on. Even if I freeze my buns off, a pantsuit is too close to the drabs I am getting away from .. at least, for a while.

[IamSara]

I feel very feminine wearing slacks or jeans. Also as some have already said look around for a day of shopping most GG's are wearing comfortable jeans or slacks and or capri's. I guess it boils down more to what you are comfortable in.

If Karren reads through this thread she will be having a heart attack

[Jenn M]

My wife and I work part time in a Bridal Shop and ahe picks our outfits everyday. When its cold she often picks slacks for us and I feel as good as if I were in a skirt or dress.

[windycissy]

Thanks girls, I'm glad I'm not alone! Not that I'm about to give up skirts and dresses, but one additional plus I appreciated today: it's a heckuva lot less of a hassle to sit down :)

[xcdmargo]

I love wearing leggings and have a bunch of colors. They're so comfortable yet feel very feminine

[CarolineM]

Leggings too - of course there are bulges to consider, but just around the house: leggings and a vest top, is comfy and feminine at the same time. :)

[CarolineM]

hehe - great minds ;)

[suchacutie]

My problem is that I like jeans in guy more, and they are all girl jeans, and I don't like to mix my genders, so...

Tina has a pair of leather jeans (if you can call them that, truly), and has leggings she wears with her tunic-length tops. Tina is a bit tall and if she wears her tunics with stockings it is a real battle to stay "lady-like"!

I think Tina has worn jeans twice in 6 years! :)

My wife has asked to not see me in a skirt or dress, and I'm OK with that. I love to lounge around the house in yoga pants and capris. I really like bootleg style, stretchy yoga pants; tight at the top, and flared legs. They really feel nice when I walk and they swish around my ankles. They are very girly, and the wife is fine with that. I like to wear capris when I work out on the eliptical...they are comfortable in the chilly room, yet cool when I work up a sweat. Why these very comfortable and practical styles have not caught on with men perplexes me.

I'm dating myself, but there was a brief fashion fad when I was a kid called clamdiggers, which were capris for guys, they were worn with shirts with boatneck collars and went out with the hula hoop

[rachaelsloane]

Cissy,
It's a great look and fits your style. Sorry I'm not going to be able to join Allie and you for dinner next week.

I looked up clamdiggers and it seems that they are still around:

The hairy legs just don't do them justice though... :p

Not in SoCal they weren't, Cissy! The only fashion change for guys took place in the 70's! When we switched Hawaian shirts for Pennies "T"s!

In fact, switch your pants for shorts, flats for flaps, dump the breast forms, and you're ready for any beachfront bar in Newport! As a guy! You'd fit rite in!

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Wind Cissy, I too have quite a lot of womens pants in my closets.

I don't know whether to take that as an insult or a compliment, but either way I feel sorry for the GG's of Newport...

I dress most times in shorts or jeans. I like them and they are all women's clothes. I also think women are sexy in shorts, jeans or pants especially with heals. I also wear womens sandals, heals and shoes.

Took several trips recently and saw almost no women in skirts or dresses. All the women in our community wear shorts or knee knockers in summer and pants or jeans the rest of the year. Wearing a dress except for special occasions is attention getting.
