At times my daughter wore men's jeans because women's jeans did not have pockets to hold a slim wallet. Sometimes she wore men's plain shoes.
My granddaughter goes 'thrifting' with my wife and buys men's flannel shirts and jeans. One reason is men's clothing tends to be less expensive. As to the jeans my granddaughter finds the larger size young boy's jeans fit just fine.
My wife routinely buys men's graphic tee shirts because they fit her body type better than women's cuts.
In all cases none of them were trying to emulate a woman. For cross dressers it is more than the clothes. As my wife asked, "Why would a man wear a bra if he had nothing to pack into it?"
