The out-in-the-open, hidden ways of being en-femme

[Carroll]

I know we all do this, one way or another. A lot of us wear bra's and panties under our drab clothes, but I'm talking about things that everybody can see. For one, I wear a sweater to work that my wife used to wear. Nice soft and Gray with the buttons on the left side. No one I work with has ever noticed this. Another thing I do is a lot less obvious, but open. Choosing a female character in a video game. I even use the female pilot voice in my flight sim.
So, ladies, what do you do to be hidden in the open?

[SIZE="3"]I under dress most very day, but some days I dress in "Secret Girl Style" I have jean and slacks that are from the womens department. I also have a couple of sweaters and shirst that button on the fem side. I wear girl loafers with girl socks to complete to SGS.

Other than underdresing I wear a fine gold chain everyday, longish nails, buffed to a shine or with clear polish. Girl socks, the ones with pink or blue heels and toes. I have several pairs of pants that are misses sized and fit me better. Oh, polished toes, not that anyone can see them and toe rings and anklet.

I use under-eye concealer...I don't care if anyone notices either...

[Angie G]

I wear a clear Matte finish nail polish 24/7

Like many, underdress, clear nail polish, womens jeans and some slacks, post earrings. Also have a few tee shirts and sweaters.

[Amy Hepker]

I wear a padded Bra under my t-shirts and an open western shirt over that and girl sandal with stocking, but not to work.

[SIZE="3"]It's the eyebrows!! I think thinly shaped feminine eyebrows have gotten the most notice when I am in drab.

Obvious - Whatever Nail-Polish and Earrings I want
(Antique Bronze and Elegant 1/2in silver hoops today)

Teasing - Sports-Bra with my work shirt unbuttoned enough to show the top edge
(Looks like a Tank-Top undershirt, but I know what it is )

Hidden - Cotton Panties and Nylon Knee-Highs

Other - Gotten addicted to a body wash with a subtle, pleasing feminine scent

[Daintre]

All the clothes I wear were bought at ladies wear stores, my slacks, tops, undies and shoes are all ladies wear. The reason I do is because the fit is better and the color choice is greater. I am sure some of what I wear is androgynous, however not all is.

[Scotty]

I have a pair of womens stretch activewear pants - you see guys and gals wearing htem all the time being comfortable...mine are female Jockey's and short on the hips and a tad more flare in the leg.....

I also wear a diamond stud in my cartlidge - either ear...

And from time to time I'll slip out of the house wearing my cruel girl jeans...

I see a guy at work from time to time wearing them too...

Wear hose with shorts.
All my sweaters are woman, and kind of pretty.
Jeans are femme.
Woman's watch, it is pretty.
Women's tennies.
And for the female character in a video game - the avatars I have are of "Rose" in Street fighter alpha. [tho the one right now is embellished.]

I guess I could have just quoted Jenni Y with the clothing thing...

[bridget thronton]

I wear blouses and women's pants suits fairly often (sometimes with sensible shoes) when out as a male

Hi Carroll,

This is the sort of thing I do too. I often wear my wife's clothes (especially her t-shirts, blouses and cardigans) in boy mode. I look kinda girly but both she and I like that. I always underdress with minimally a bra and panties too.

At work I keep it subtle ... like you do, but outside I work I tend to "push the envelope" a little more if I'm feeling confident. My typical out of work look is women's white tennis shoes, women's fitted jeans, a cotton plain colored (but satin trimmed) women's t-shirt, a woman's high buttoning cardigan, small stud earrings, a woman's watch, and subtle eyeliner. My fingernails are long (for a guy) and are always painted either shiny clear or pale ivory.

Hmmm I just seem to keep adding things. Long nails, nail varnish, rings, bracelets, necklace femme jeans and my latest buy, kitten heeled ankle boots. They're so gorgeous I just can't wait until I am dressed.

[SIZE="3"]Like so many I love the feel and secret knowledge of my girly underwear under my male clothes but other not so hidden things include being shaved all over (my hands and arms have been commented on a few times) trimmed eyebrows, shaped and buffed finger nails (my toe nails are always painted) ear rings in both ears. In winter I wear very feminine blouses, with plain collars, under my sweater and usually wear female slacks.
I always wash in perfumed soap and like to use a little perfumed talcum powder which I’m sure doesn’t go un-noticed.[/SIZE]

[jessielee]

i'm the biggest chicken; underdressed is all. except, sometimes a favorite aloha shirt with buttons that go the "wrong" way, is my secret thrill!
i think soft, "effeminate" hand gestures and mannerisms, turns of a phrase, an ear cuff, had for years made macho men call me names, without foundation. they feared what they sensed but did not know.
hidden,
jessie

Gwendy,

how did you respond to the comments about your hands and arms being shaved?

Choosing a female character in a video game.

Avatars in MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) are good - you can completely customise your fem appearance.

Plus, women are always deadlier, so when I can they are a must for any gun-wielding hero/heroine!

[gennee]

[SIZE="4"]During the summer I wear sandals and my toenails are polished. Sometimes I wear lipstick.

[SIZE="3"]Patti,
My normal answer is to say that my hair grows grey and in patches, which is partially true.[/SIZE]

One of the pics that came with my Verizon cell phone is a graphic with a couple pair of women's legs in heels. I've used this for wallpaper on the phone. It's pretty cool, no one has ever noticed. I think about high heels everytime I use the phone!

[Phyliss]

"Out-in-the-open hidden ways" ... I like it. Better than saying "flying under the radar"
1. Always "hairless" all over.
2. Painted toes
3. Acrylic overlays on fingers, with shear (almost invisible) pink shade
4. The "mandatory" threesome of underthings, (stockings, bra, panties)
5. Shaped eyebrows, (thin with slight arch)
6. Shirts that button "on the other side" (they're not easy to find)
7. Jeans or slacks from Fashion Bug
8. Sensible shoes from women's dept at Payless
9. Carry a bag
10. Letting my hair (what little there is) grow out, (can almost do a decent ponytail)
11. Walking with a bit of a wiggle.
12. Light shade of lippy ( Loreal #165 tickled pink) ... alway have a tube in my pocket.

Gee having made that list, I didn't realize just how far I've "gone"

[Dalece]

Can't really do to much But wear clear nail polish, stud earrings. Of course lingere.

Starting with female body lotion and deodorant, a little spray of perfume, clear polished nails, dressing in light padded bra, silky panties, girdle, suntan PH, Misses jeans, blouse, pullover sweater (they all fit soo much better), adding androgynous items: loafers, necklace, earstuds, finally small purse, mascara, skin foundation, brow liner, and clear or light pink lipstick! Going out shopping for groceries, clothes, post office, where ever, and all I get (and give) are a few smiles, but I'm happy being me!

Enjoy life, Chari
