Male mode in public?

[Stiletto Gurl]

I was just wondering how many of you, when you have to be in male mode in public, still try and pull off some feminine feature with your attire? I have worn heeled booties under long jeans in public. I?ve worn black pantyhose under distressed/rip stretchy dress jeans. I?ve also taken advantage of the plandemic and have worn dark lipsticks under my mask while shopping.

It was just a thought I had, wondering if others do the same ☺️

[Suranne]

Going back before the pandemic, before I socially transitioned, a good while ago now, and I presented in male mode, (Can I remember that far back?) I always wore something femme when out and about in male mode. Women's trousers are the easiest to get away with, but tops too are quite easy to wear and socks, boots and shoes are all easily doable. The thing is you can take it as far or not as you both want and, if needs be, can get away with.

[Krisi]

Not me. For me there is only "Krisi" or "Homer". No "Kromer"! ;)

That said, I wear panties and my jeans and jean shorts come from the women's section of the store. Plain jeans that look like men's jeans but a little more form fitting.

[Angela Marie]

I wear leggings in public all the time; except when my wife and I go out to dinner or another social occasion. She is ok with my dressing but would prefer that I be more discreet at times. In recent days I have started wearing nail polish and yesterday I went out shopping wear the polish, along with my leggings. Age, 66, and family issues would make transitioning impossible. But I can effect a nice feminine appearance otherwise. Interestingly enough I find presenting as feminine without the wig, makeup, etc. easier than fully dressing.

[Stevann]

When in male mode, the ONLY piece of male clothing I wear is a shirt. Any underwear, pants, socks, shoes, glasses come from non-male departments.

[Pumped]

I wear 3" block heel booties often, women's jean fairly often, and underdress moat every day.

[GretchenM]

I use a mild blended expression most of the time and use stereotypical feminine colors most of the time. Mostly it is women's sweatshirts, T shirts, and the like. And my mask has a flower pattern that has generated some very complimentary comments. It is enough to tell others that I am not exactly a middle of the road male and probably a bit trans. It is comfortable for me and reactions are favorable, except for one very conservative sister-in-law who seems to be married to the gender binary concept. But that is about the only person my attire bugs. We are all different.

[Tracy Irving]

I was out shopping yesterday and the only item of male clothing I wore was my shirt. It is highly unlikely anyone would care enough about what a stranger is wearing to inspect my jeans for markings confirming they are from the women's department or that my nondescript tennis shoes are labeled 1.5 sizes bigger than the colorful men's sneakers that I left at home.

[Sandi Beech]

I have experimented with partial dressing numerous times. Probably the most daring is when I wore large breast forms under my clothing and sat down to eat in a restaurant. This is kind of funny, when in guy mode I have been mammed by people a number of times but when wearing big boobs they only referred to me as sir. Made me kind of laugh.

I do not understand why I do what I do sometimes. But I know what Yoda would say:

Dress or dress not, there is no why!

[Ressie]

Underdress sometimes but nothing that can be seen from an imprint or anything. Women's jeans sometimes. I used to wear girl's T-shirts and shorts when walking the dog. Nothing obviously fem.

[Sidney]

I dress daily in the same "style" and home or out and about. I wear panties, bra/bralette, camasole, womens, thigh thighs with garter, women's Jean's, women's T shirt and if needed a women's sweater or sweater with either flats or tennis shoes.Evening attire is se except dressier. Everything I wear comes from womans departments.

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Nothing feminine shows, ever.

Under dressed in panties and hose, always.

[Star01]

Shaved and underdressed in panties when running errands in my conservative rural community. In the summer they sometimes take a second look at smooth arms and legs but nothing about my clothing or general appearance would lead them to conclude that I am a crossdresser.

The intent of my DADT agreement dictates that I keep my dressing private. By honoring that agreement I am abiding by those conditions. End of story unless I wanted to make an issue and demand something more. While I consider taking that step silently every day I have held off so far.

[bridget thronton]

Shirts are about the only male clothing I wear

[Kimberly A.]

Hi Stiletto Gurl. :)

Well, I have said this on more than one occasion on here, during the warmer months I'll wear shorts with pantyhose out in public while in "male mode"..... I've been doing that for YEARS. LOL

[JennyMay]

With my wife?s support I wear clothing designated for women but which looks male on me. Women?s jeans and T shirts, socks and trainers. I wear women?s underwear all the time. I don?t (yet) have a coat from the women?s section.

[Billie]

It would be hard to miss my fingernails no matter how I'm dressed. Jeans, shorts and underwear are always from the lady's department. Shoes if I think I'd not be noticed, basically as often as I go out dressed, on Halloween.

[Stephanie47]

With increasing frequency I wear women's panties. I tried underdressing with bra, camisole, panty and hosiery but really felt no incitement doing it. It was ho-hum until I had to use a public restroom. Then it became a pain in the butt to negotiate pantyhose.

[NancySue]

Always Panties, thigh highs and a bra.

[BTWimRobin]

I'm out in some level of hybrid mode quite often. Women's jeans, shorts, undies, Keds, nails. It's no big deal.

[VivianNewkirk]

I'm at work in boy mode right now, wearing ear studs, a pendant and a beaded bracelet. Not to mention underdressing...

[Michaela Jane]

I am mostly at home in these pandemic times but when I do go out, it is in male mode but every stitch of clothing & footwear is from the womens department. Nobody seems to notice.

[GenevieveF]

I underdress in pantyhose and a bra. I always wear women’s pullover sweaters in winter. I wear women’s tank tops in summer.

[Asew]

When first easing into it I would break the rules and have elements of female aspects in there such as a simple bangle bracelet, painted toe nails in flip flops, and women's jeans.

I dress in non-binary most of the time now such that I wear a skirt nearly all the time now. So when I do male mode it isn't a priority to have feminine aspects to it since I will be out of male mode shortly and doesn't bother me now. I think I have worn pants/shorts for maybe 8 hours total in the last three months.

[DianeT]

I must confess I sometimes multitask when in male mode.

[DianaPrince]

JennyMay: I do the exact same thing. I call it stealth femme.

[Geena75]

I wear zero feminine attire when in male mode. My activities are easier that way. I do catch myself taking postures or stances more femme, though.

[Pumped]

It was ho-hum until I had to use a public restroom. Then it became a pain in the butt to negotiate pantyhose.


I have worn pantyhose for years before I really got into CD'ing. I have circulation problems in my legs and support hose helps. I have no issues with public restrooms. I will admit is is a bit of a wrestling match to get the Johnson out but nothing that nobody would notice. If I am trying to tuck, then no matter whether 1 or 2 I head for the stall.

[docrobbysherry]

Yes! I tried undressing for a short time. But, found it just as satisfying as lite beer!:devil:

[lisalove]

All I own and wear is women's clothes. Most of it is casual stuff. Unless you know what you are looking at, you wouldn't know they were women's clothes.
I also wear a heart necklace and an anklet all the time.

[Alexis00]

For a while I tried for a very androgynous look. Women loved it, and not just my age but older women too.

[jayme357]

Leggings seem like an obvious female garment. I wear them nearly all the time but am rather reluctant to venture out in public. Am I missing an opportunity?

[Karren H]

Many times I have been out in 100% female clothing, shopping... to the casino... Flats, nylons, dress slacks, knit top, female leather jacket... underneath cami, all the proper lingerie except bra....

In the day time and night time... no one ever said anything or even gave me a funny look.

[Angela Marie]

I wear leggings almost 24/7. I wear them to the gym as well as when I go shopping, about town, etc. It depends on your level of comfort.

[Brenn]

I'm out in some level of hybrid mode quite often. Women's jeans, shorts, undies, Keds, nails. It's no big deal.

I'm similar, although I never dress to "pass" anymore. I frequently wear women's jeans or shorts and ballet flats or Keds. Never had an issue worthy of note. Every now and then I catch someone doing a double take and once I caught someone trying t sneak a photo with their cell phone.

[Stephanie_V]

Only time I'm really in guy mode is while I'm at work. When I get home, it's wash up (I work in a metal fabrication shop), put on some hip pads, pony tail comes out, leggings and a woman's shirt. If I need to run errands, just put on some comfy woman's sneakers, grab my woman's coat and out the door.

On weekends, I'll usually go full Steffi mode. Make up, forms, curl my hair and paint my nails.

[Rachel05]

Oooooooo lipstick under a mask in male mode, good idea, why have I never thought of that, got to be some perks to this strange world we are living in right now

[skirt_guy]

Panties every day, women’s jeans or shorts, top is usually male but have a couple women’s that work in public. Light eye makeup recently, mascara, brow pencil and eyeshadow. Was wearing my female booties all the time going out but I have a bad ankle that needs fixing and cannot wear anything with a heel until then. All without issue.

[Sissy_Michelle]

Stiletto Gurl,

I?ve been wearing bra and panties for the last 12 years (since I retired from active duty). Since then I?ve become more braver and have worn blouses (albeit very plain but the buttons do give it away), stockings, and like you worn lipstick everywhere because we?re wearing masks. Before I moved to Alabama there were a small group of women that knew or enjoyed the fact that I would wear women?s clothes to the gym to workout in, mostly yoga pants, and sports bras when we were doing the same classes body pump, and yoga. The yoga instructor busted me out one morning asking if I was wearing a sports bra under my t-shirt because of how sweaty I was everyone could make it out. When I answered yes, she said that I didn?t have to cover it up if I didn?t want to, because most of the ladies in the class didn?t wear a shirt either, if I wanted to be the same. My small group of lady friends (fit family) all said that it would be okay and encouraged me not to wear a t-shirt in our classes. The only time I was uncomfortable was after my workout and I went into the locker room to shower and change into work clothes.

@?-}??

[Jillcder]

Nope all man in male mode when I dress its a skirt or dress with full makeup and accessories all or nothing kind of girl. Maybe this will change in time underdressing has crossed my mind a time or two.

[Melanie Sykes]

Unless I'm going to be undressing in front of others (medical appointment or swimming), I wear knickers and women's socks. Sometimes opaque knee-high pop-socks, but in the winter it's more often thicker cotton socks that are quite obviously women's. Pre-Covid, when I had the house to myself during the day, I'd also wear womens ankle boots out to walk the dog. I have on occasion done the dog walk wearing completely women's clothes (the ankle boots don't particularly stand out as being overly feminine) under my male coat. I don't think anyone noticed.

[Karmen]

I wear panties and pantyhose under my male clothes almost all the time, but sometimes I get daring and put on female skinny jeans or female "unisex looking" boots with low wide heel or female sneakers when in male mode.

[Jennifer_Ph]

All the time.
