Going out in Feminine Clothing

[Cyndie]

Sometimes I wear girl clothes that look like guy things. Jeans, dress slacks, shirt type blouse, and loafers. Although these are all women’s clothing, and if you look closely you could tell, for the most part they look like guy things.

I enjoy wearing women’s clothing even when I am not trying to look like a woman, fully cross dressed. Tomorrow I’m going to a nearby town where I am not known and I am planning to expand my dressing. My plan is to wear shoes, slacks, and a sweater that are obviously feminine. The shoes are black flats, the slacks are dark blue with a cuff and wide legs, and the sweater is dark red long sleeved mock turtle neck that zips up the back. I always wear a bra and panties with some type of hose or stockings.

I realize that I am pushing the envelope here. Does anyone have any advice before I try this or had an experience wearing feminine clothing while not trying to pass.

I want to thank everyone for your advice and encouragement. I'm drerssed and headed out the door. I'll let you know how it goes

[Daizy Chains]

I often wear woman’s jeans that are obviously woman’s jeans, also tops which are asexual. It depends how self conscious you are courage and conviction win the day

What you describe is my M.O. exactly and yes, I have plenty of experience. What is interesting is we get all worked up in our mind and then nothing happens. Really, do not be surprised if nobody notices you. Sure, you may have a sales girl in a women's shop figure you out but that would be welcome. People, in general, are way too busy to worry about you and what you are wearing.

My wife pointed out that my clothing had gotten a little too femme recently and she said people were starting to notice. I said, "big deal" do you think they are going to follow me around and point and laugh. I really don't care but, it is not going to happen anyway. When is the last time you saw someone a little "strange". You just shake your head and move on, there are other things to worry about.

I met my mother and father in law the other day wearing an aqua colored women's polo, khaki cargo capri's with buckles at the bottom of the leg, striped Keds, shaved arms and legs and my hair styled very feminine. They were as pleasant as could be.

I, myself, am a productive member of society and my community, I have a wonderful family, nice house, great friends and neighbors and by-the-way, I wear women's clothes sometimes. Take me or leave me, baby.

Have fun dressing up and let us know if there are any reactions.

Coming from Scotland originally I can wear a kilt as a skirt is something I am not ready to do for general day to day stuff anyhow I hate shaving (my Face) and save that for special occasions so a beard and skirt would be a fashion disaster

Don't look nervous.

Dress to the level that you believe in yourself, but it does pay to push when in a strange city to let yourself go & be totally happy. Good luck dear & enjoy.

I usually wear a skirt, flats or low heels, blouse or sweater. The fun is in going out dressed whether or not I pass. I try to look my best but just being out there is what it's about.

Sometimes a skirt or dress just isn't the right thing - like playing with young kids in the park on a wet morning or hauling Ikea boxes home. I have several women's cordouroys and cardigans, and usually wear pink Converses. I have found 'cross dressing down' can be very useful in getting accustomed to dressing 24/7 and will ease transition in social situations. That said, when I go shopping for clothes, I like to doll up a bit - that just gets me more in the mood for it.

Dressing in the manner you described is something I do quite often. Last winter I went out shopping in guy mode in 2" chunky hels with pantyhose, A-Line ladies flare jeans for their particularly feminine and curvy shape, a mock turtleneck, a suede blazer, again with a particularly feminine shape, and a cowboy hat. I just went about my normal business, and no one stared, commented, snickered, laughed or pointed. What did happen is that one of the stock boys was walking too close behind me with his cart, and he bumped the heel of my shoe. I got a very polite "Oh, excuse me ma'am" :thumbsup: No that out a smile on my face! Maybe I shouldn't have turned around an politely replied "Oh, it's nothing to worry about". It was he that was red-faced and embarrassed!

If you don't want to wear a skirt then I think you will look great!!

I was out at noon today and substituted my fem leather jacket for my male sports coat, fem watch and some extra rings.....had on black tights, no male socks...... Headed out shopping.....shoulder to shoulder with bunches of women!! No one paid the slightest attention!! And I was at Wal-mart (tried on some fem boots), TJ Maxx (looking for skirts and tried on some boots), Tuesday Morning (bought the wife a Vacume Food Saver - I know how romantic!! Hehe) and a Sporting Goods store!!

And I looked pretty fem too but no one cares!!

I would love to wear a skirt but I’m not really out. my wife knows
but I don’t flaunt it; I told her when I started seeing her and it did not put her off me.

[The Private Hat]

If your not wearing a skirt then no-one will notice. People see what they expect to see. Although I have found that high-heeled shoes, but not boots, are sometimes noticed.

[JenniferMint]

I've worn girl jeans + girl sweatshirt while in guy mode. It looked fairly unisex. My boyfriend could notice that they were girl jeans, but my mother couldn't.

I plan on going out in drab in feminine clothing more often once I have more female clothing that looks unisex. I think it's exciting!

[Kimkandy]

I've been wearing panties, panty hose and low heel boots under jeans.

It'd be different if I wore the with a skirt... :devil: must try that sometime.

Cyndie,

That's what I wear every day.Only thing sensitive is that having recently loss about 50 pounds, there is no fat belly hiding my breasts, especially with a bra. Have gone to baggy stuff, but people still notice. No one has said anything but I am sure they do when they have passed me.

[Katrina]

Generaly thats what I like doing well when I can anyways

[sharon2]

Now you're talking! :happy: This is a "zone" I'm very happy to be in. I always wear women's clothes in guy mode. OK, at work it's not (that) noticeable as they tend to look more unisex. However outside at work I wear some pretty obvious women's clothes in boy mode.

Sometimes, I can tell people know by the way they look at me, but most of the time everyone ignores me. The outfit you describe is just the sort of thing I would wear. If I'm feeling confident I'll push the envelope and wear a classic sweater set or a feminine blouse...or sometimes capris with saltwater sandals and painted toenails, otherwise I'll just wear a woman's t-shirt and cardigan. I usually wear this with tight fitting low rise boot cut jeans and my pink and white tennis shoes. Just recently I've added eyeliner and mascara. I always wear earrings a woman's watch and perfume....oh and of course I always wear a bra and panties. :D

Here a few links with more details. The first one is a thread my wife MarlaGG wrote back in February saying how she likes seeing me dressed as a feminine male. It's called "Something In-between: A GG Perspective on Partial Dressing" http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20536

The second one is my blog about how on our recent trip to Vegas someone got confused about my gender and wasn't sure how to address me.

This one is a link to a picture of me in what I normally wear in public as my everyday clothes. Girly, but not too in your face. http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=angel5blockqg5.jpg

My advice is hold your head up high, be confident, and don't feel guilty about doing something you like. It's not against the law, and you are not hurting anyone, you're just "being nice to yourself". :D

Sounds like you're going to have a good time.

[Cyndie]

Thanks again. I changed my profile pic to show what I am wearing for this outing.

:2c: :2c: you said boy friend, wow thats great are you still with him+? does he help you shop for skirts and panties, how lucky you are, I bought a great pair of boots with a 2 in square heel, at Payless shoe .:thumbsup: buy 1 get 1 half price, they look great weather wearing a skirt or dress or jeans, I like to wear mine with my blue denim skirt, its just above the knees ,red panties ,matching red Bra 46B, a pair of red pantyhose and my red turtle neck sweater, Its starting too get cooler here in central Massachusettes, so put on what ever floats your boat, Love Charolette

[JenniferMint]

Yes, I'm still with the same boyfriend. We haven't went clothes shopping together, though (he lives 10 hours away, he visits me every 2 months or so).

I went out today wearing fem clothing, but not trying to look or pass as a woman. It was a fun morning.

What I wore:
Dark slacks with a wide leg, not male type at all
Red turtleneck sweater that zipped up the back,
except for the zipper it would pass as male
Shoes were black flats with pointed toe, obviously fem shoes
Body by Victoria pink bra with padding that made me look like I had small breast.
(If you looked closely)
IFY – Pink garter belt with black bows, black stockings, black panties with pink bows
Just a touch of foundation makeup and lipstick

I went to a large mall just before the shops opened. I walked around to get a feel for a new place, went back to the food court for a cup of coffee and waited for opening time. I went to two small shops where I made purchases and then looked around in a couple of department stores. No one commented on how I was dressed. If they took a second look, it was very discrete. The shop keepers were polite and helpful, just as they are when I am in male drab, they may have had something to talk about after I left, but they were all very nice while I was there. Driving back to town I decided to stop on the edge of town and do my grocery shopping. Again everyone treated me just as they do when I am in male drab. The morning was a good experience.

I think that the selection of bra, shoes and makeup were way outside the box. I often wear fem clothing that looks masculine and this time I wanted to actually look feminine. I wanted to say, “I’m a guy, these are feminine cloths and I like the way they look and feel.” I’m back home now and do not really want to change, but I have to meet SO at her work place soon and I know that this outfit would not go over well.

To sum up the morning, it was fun – I had a good time

I got rid of ALL my boy clothes years ago. Having said that, although I always dress in female attire, I usually try to be less than obvious about it.
With my long hair (and receding hairline) I usually wear a ponytail, but occasionally I'll let it go loose and once in a while I'll curl it to put a bit of wave into the ends. Although I usually wear jeans and a colorful shirt, I have worn womens slacks and a nice sweater (bra underneath) to work occasionally. I've also worn womens slacks and a nice animal print blouse (w/bra, panties, hose and flats) to a doctors appointment on occasion. I've had acrilic nails for about 2 years now and usually keep them either light pink or lilac so as not to attract too much notice or comment (love long nails). And I will go out shopping once in a while wearing light foundation, a little eye shadow and liner and lip gloss or a light shade of lipstick - that is when I don't go wearing a dress of skirt! I'm trying to incorporate more of my lifestyle INTO my life. Thanksgiving is coming up and I'll be going home for the holidays with the rest of my family but wondering should I keep the nails? My parents have seen them and though my father made a minor comment they don't seem too put out about it. My siblings know I crossdress but I don't know if I should be so "unusual" around the nieces and nephews wearing nails and polish?! I try to be very cautious/non-obvious around children as I don't want them confused, misunderstanding of hurt in any by the way I appear (not well expressed - But I hope you understand my meaning).
