    Going out dressed but not passing

    Does anyone go out dressed but without makeup or a wig? Like...obviously a male but wearing all fem attire? What kind of reaction do you get? I love going out wearing womens Jeans but I usually chicken out and will wear a guy style t shirt. I would much rather wear a girls t shirt or pink fleese jacket.

    I frequently go out as a male but wearing female clothing (womens jeans and a blouse/top). Most of the time there is no reaction.

    I prefer going out fully en femme, but sometimes I do not have the time for everything when the pink fog hits. As a result , I have gone out with every permutation you can think of. Sometimes just large breast forms, or maybe neck down only. No one has said anything , but I find that women have paid me more compliments when fully dressed up. Guys try not to look if they do notice - generally speaking.

    Never. I want to be assumed as a woman, not a guy dressed up.

    To a large extent I think it comes down to where you live and what people are like, i don't pass a such but nor do I get looked at either. I believe it is down to how you perceive yourself and how comfortable you are when you go out.

    I go out a lot in leggings, sometimes womens jeans. Sometimes a tank top and bra under my jacket or sweatshirt.
    Aside from being called ma'am, no reaction.

    I go out wearing a femme top with my boy jeans. And I wear flip flops so everyone can see my pretty painted toes.

    I call them mix and match dressers. It is often a preferred expression used by non-binary people who sense a very strong blending of male and female identities and behaviors. It is a way to validate who they are in terms of identity and to express that publicly. But dressing female-like with no wig or makeup is sometimes referred to as MIAD (man in a dress). And there are those that do that and some can be found here on this forum. Not common, but it is a definable and valid pattern of expressing their gender identity. Privately, I have done that at times. To me, it is no point in going with the wig and makeup as that is a lot more work if I am just going to be knocking around the house.

    I do most of the time, women's jeans or work pants and a unisex tee or a long sleeved women's top. I usually don't wear a bra & forms unless I need to have a jacket of some kind on. Today, for instance, I am going to the movies with my kids (I am closeted to them) and will be wearing bikini panties, women's dickies work pants, a unisex tee, women's New Balance sneakers and unisex socks. Nobody says a word & I assume the kids don't really care. Today, I will be in Dad mode.

    I have gone out many times in a skirt and top with no makeup or wig. Often I dont have time for the full transformation or I just dont care and want to wear a skirt. Never had any bad reactions. But do get lots of compliments from the GGs

    Over the years a few dressers have showed up at our local T events with simply a dress on. No wig, make up, forms, or anything.

    Mostly it was my T friends that were bothered and wanted no part of them!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    When I go out, my goal is to blend in which, in our small town, means little or no makeup, hose, heels, messy hair, etc. I usually wear women?s jeans, flats and a non-descript top. Having said that, I underdress daily, with panties, either pantyhose or thigh highs and my a cup underwire sweater bra, which I leave on. Yes, I?ve received some glances and smiles, but nothings been said.

    I have only been going out dressed for the past few weeks and only 4-5 times. When I do go out I am a blend of genders. Androgynous may be the correct term, though I don't really care what you call it. Typically I am wearing either women's short shorts or akle jeans with or without pantyhose, heels or very fem sandals and a feminine top. I do not have or wear or want falsies or bras and I have a hair chest that I do not keep completely covered. I have long hair that I usually curl when I go out and I wear make up, usually clean shaven, but not always.

    I don't dress to present myself as female. I dress to present myself as me and that is a mixture of both femininity and masculinity. When in guy mode I'm probably 85/15 masculine and when enfem I am probably 85/15 fem. I am completely fine and comfortable with that. For me, it's just about being me, not trying to fit any social norms.

    I know that this is confusing to some, but it is not to me. I probably draw more attention when I am in public because of it, but I don't really care about that. What other people think of me is none of my business.

    For me there is no point in cross dressing and going out unless I attempt to achieve at least some semblance of passing. Fem-boy looks OK by me are behind closed doors only.

    I regularly go out shopping with a modest but firm bust (can't hide that now!), bra straps which show to a greater or lesser extent, and definite lip gloss. Only flats at the moment, injured knee.

    I have never been challenged, and in the summer I like to observe other women's brassieres. Most of them are quite frumpy, and a lot are clearly wearing the wrong size (bands riding up, slipping straps).

    I can imagine a competition, where the manager says: "OK ladies all tops off, let's see your undies". I would win the title with the sexiest lace bra with a perfect fit!

    I'm sure that my "every day" bras are prettier than most of the women in my building. Our workforce is about 70% female.

    I wear women's shorts and pants almost exclusively. Tops are sometimes. People see what you are showing them.

    I will never do that. My wife and I were at LOWE'S one day. In the checkout line 2 or 3 people ahead of us was a guy with a partial beard and a man bun we could only see from the back. He obviously had a woman's top on (the spaghetti straps were a dead giveaway). As he turned slightly we could see he was wearing a bra and forms and then noticed he had on women's leggings. He then opened his small purse to make payment. My wife said to me: "Don't you ever go out dressed like that." I actually do listen to her. If/when I ever go out dressed, I would like to blend. I do not care to be a spectacle and provide others with an opportunity to be critical. While being fully dressed (wig, makeup, etc.) may not make me passable, if done correctly should make one close enough to leave a little room for doubt. Is she a she or isn't she a she?

    I go out in women's clothes as a man all the time..... BUT it's not obvious. I wear only women's jeans and socks (if I must wear socks), nearly all my tank tops are racerback, and I have some women's T-shirts that aren't too obvious to someone not looking. I also have several pairs of women's canvas shoes with patterns you'll never find in the Men's section. I wear these things to work, to the sports bar, to the airport, etc. But I still look like a guy, probably no more odd than a guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

    That sums it up for me as well. Is what I'm wearing from the women's side of the aisle? Yes? Then all is well in the world.
    I'm a man. I like being a man. I also love wearing women's clothing. It's my way to show honor, respect and solidarity with them.

    I've gone out in blend mode and just tooled around shopping not buying. Casual conversations but little other interactions. Sometime just jean skirt, top and flip-flops and maybe a little makeup. Other times just androgynous chiselled yet well endowed. As far as sketty straps, beard and bun, well, I have no issue with appearance and personal comfort zone. I do enjoy wearing a fabulous bra with forms but, a nice rack would sorta be too much distraction if I was buying lumber. And you know sHe or ShE, which ever you prefer, is jut being his desired ME.

    Hmm? I wonder if there's a man bun with a full beard hairpiece on Amazon? Pink or blue?
    I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
    My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
    And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
    Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!

    Only been out once, but tried to be as fem as possible.. Thinking I didn?t really do a fabulous job if it, but was fun. A few GGs smiled and staff at store and restaurant was friendly. Do not necessarily want to go out 1/2 way either way!

    I don't like going out in public right now. I have no confidence in myself or my appearance right now. I try to present as nicely as I can with full makeup, wig and everything but lately my heart just hasn't been into it. Back in November, my cd group went to a nice restaurant and I got dolled up for it but I didn't wear makeup. And when we got to the restaurant and waited to be seated a couple of drunken (I hope they were) customers at the nearby bar saw us and made a few rude comments about us. We took no notice of them but I kind of feel maybe it was my fault for not wearing makeup that evening.
