Welcome to Dr. Lex's Hide Your Chest! (Without Binding!)
I am here to share with you all my many secrets to hiding a big chest. My chest was once too large to bind, so I had to come up with ways to hide them. And these ways work well.
1. Layers.
Layers rock. I'm not sure how they rock, but they rock. Try it and you'll see. A t-shirt with a button up shirt over the top and unbuttoned, or a button up shirt (buttoned up) with a t-shirt over the top, work really well.
2. Jumpers and jackets.
If it's cold enough DEFINATELY do this. I pulled off my favourite pass in a hoodie, it was ace. Big, thick, manly looking (of course), jackets work really, really, REALLY well. Jumpers and jackets flatten everything out with their shapeless thickness and hide all curves and bumps when the right one is found. Ooh, almost forgot to add that a thin jumper or vest with a jacket (like a suit jacket or blazer) over that also works REALLY well.
3. Try a tie.
Ties can work really well to just mentally emphasize that you're a guy, and therefore have a flat chest. If you're wearing a bra that seperates your chests, this might be a problem because then it will sit between them and draw attention. But if you have a big chest like I did, you'll probably be used to constant cleavage, in which case the tie will just sit on top and distract people away from your chest.
4. Make the rest of you more manly.
If your hair is long a girly, if you're wearing girl shoes or girl pants, or have a pair of earrings in, whatever, stop it. If the rest of you is presented as male, then your chest will be presented as male. Essentially, if you look generally male as a whole, they just won't see the chest. Why? Because they don't expect it to be there, they aren't looking for it. They won't see it.
5. Black is the new black.
Black is a really good colour for all of this because it doesn't show any shadows. It's all just one big shadow, so it won't show the shadows cast by your chest or your curves.
6. Baggy clothes.
Wear loose or baggy clothes, it really helps. BUT, there is such a thing as too baggy. If it's too baggy it will hang from your chest and show it off. You want it just baggy enough to cover you without it being tight on your chest.
And that's about it! Here are some examples of shirt combinations that work really well, all test driven by me. :)
