Malori,
I completely agree with your opinions!
I am not really interested in dressing in full out make-up, high heels, but like a more conservative transition.
I like to think I enjoy the best of both worlds. In some cases, men's clothing is great. In others, women's clothing can be beaten.
The feel and look of a fuzzy angora sweater is just something that most men should try.
I do like to try to challenge what is considered to be acceptable - like wearing a cowlneck in public, wearing short sleeve sweaters, capris, and more. I find that short sleeve sweaters (angora, cashmere, etc) tend to get more comments or questions. And I am more than willing to talk with people and try to help them understand it doesn't matter what is worn at all...
