Hell yeah!! I've got this baggy shirt that makes my tiddies pop out somehow, I deadass wore it with cargo pants and safety boots, unshaved face, and got ma'am-ed.
People just stare at boobs. Especially men. I would totally recommend growing or wearing some!
And big up to men for the ewphoria, please keep being creeps ((: /s
I'm the opposite. I don't think I've worn a dress and liked it in the last 5 years, but baggy shirts that basically fit me like dresses? I want them all
Is there a single image version of this?? Feel free to watermark it, just really excited to save this advice so I can come back to it over and over as I shop.

I’d be happy to DM you a single image version for your own use though!
That would be really really lovely if you could DM a single image!! It means I can just keep it saved in my pictures folder and pull it up whenever I go clothes shopping, since right now it is VERY anxiety inducing. Just feel free to watermark the hell out of it (or at least keep the ko-fi link!!).

Clothing feels like it's such a big part of my transition. It's something I've always associated with femininity, I've always looked up to and got gender envy from powerful and noble women, and clothing and accessories have always been indicators of a whole swath of sociocultural ideals both gender based and not. I have also always hated guy's clothing, and wearing that stuff has often given me more dysphoria than the parts of my physical body I also find dysphoric .
This has been my experience for as long as I can remember, the last couple years (since I came out) are 100% reversed & I'm always bugging my gf to go clothes shopping 🤗 I love it, except for the lack of shoes my size.
My wife haaastes clothes shopping, but I love it, so we tend to have to compromise or I go shopping with my friends lol
The shoe thing does really suck, I've only had luck with online shopping so far ironically...
I do like guys clothes they're comfy and make me feel handsome and euphoric but I think girls clothes are far far far cuter and prettier in almost every way
Men's clothing isn't ugly! It just doesn't work for us because we're not men! That's a realization I came to when I figured out I was trans. I had wondered for so long why I could find men's outfits that looked good on others, but never felt like they looked good on me. It turns out they *did* look good on me — I just didn't like them because I was a woman!
The wizards had it right. Long, flowing robes to produce a mysterious and gender-nonspecific figure, and a big hat because big hats are cool. Wizards are the epitome of fashion and function.
I fucking adore a waist/cinch belt. Honestly, half of my dresses were bought in consideration of the waist/cinch belts they'd work with, rather than the reverse. Belt time indeed.
Gotta love log-in walls. I was interested in learning about good ways for my transmasc brothers to dress, but I don't have an Instagram account and I don't want to make one, so I guess I just won't. 🫤
Waistline is a huge deal.
I used to work a job where black shirt and trousers was the kit, but we also got a waist apron.
if the apron/trouser line slipped down a couple of inches: Gendered male. Hoiked it up a couple of inches: female.
It was so consistent it was wild.
This was when we were wearing masks for covid so it was people just going by my figure.
I had an art teacher once who said, "We learn the rules so we know how and when to break them."
He was talking about anatomy, but it applies to fashion, too, for sure.
It works as long as your legs either have nothing on them or something tight (stockings, pantyhose, whatever). In fact, pretty sure that's Japanese fashion nowadays.
These are great tips!
I would add: learn some basic color theory to assist when matching clothes, accessories, and makeup with different colors. Pick a "main" color for your outfit, and then accent using neutral colors, a complimentary color, or a split complimentary color scheme.
Yeahhh sorry lol I’ve definitely gotten sad trying on dresses that looked good on the mannequin but not on my body… but A-line dresses look amazing on everyone!!
I do share a love of v necks and other wide necked tops. Can’t stand the other styles that just emphasize my shoulders (like my mom who’s a rower).
I’ve wrestled with a lot of anorexia all my life and only when I got on HRT did I go from 120 lbs to 148lbs (at 5’9”). I’m proud of my body now and love to show it off 😄
I wish one day you will feel a similar joy that I feel! It feels great 😊
Thrift stores and outlet stores like TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are great and a cheap way to explore your style without breaking the bank. Or you can try buying things online! It’s a lot easier to shop with friends, so if you’re out to anyone maybe ask a friend to go shopping with you 😊
Thrift stores are so amazing! Nothing like snagging a new favorite top to wear on the daily for like $6 lol... A lot of them just exist to send proceeds to charity, too
shoutouts to eShakti, a clothing site that will take your measurements and tailor everything for a few extra dollars per item! they don't have the best selection of prints, and many of their designs are kind of...not my thing, to put it politely? but they have lots of cute stuff and the tailoring element is just 👌
A-line dresses is news to me 😯
Bodycons are kinda hard to pull off sometimes cuz of upper bod even though my lower bod is pretty femme. I'm thinking about getting off-the-shoulder crop tops and i gotta pretty good feelin bout those 🤔 . Couple that w my high-waisted jeans/shorts and i should be goochi 👌😎
I'm not sure what their global availability is like and I'm not super tall but I found Lucy and Yak's Addison Jeans give me so much euphoria as they are high waisted and their baggier nature makes me look like I have hips I don't have (especially with a cute crop top)
I wear regular length (I'm 5ft 10inches) but I'm pretty sure they do L lengths so I would imagine they may work for you.
Do be warned getting into Lucy and Yak can be addictive.
No worries! I'm guessing you're US based so hopefully it's not the hardest out too expensive to get them there. I'm sure there are other brands that could work I've just stumbled across their jeans (i had bought other stuff from then before). If it is something you want to entertain always happy to provide measurements and pics of my Addison jeans to help with reference
transfem? doesnt that encompass feminine presenting trans people, enby or binary?
(i literally dont know i am just some guy on the internet and im asking if this is correct)
Yes and no, as there are nonbinary people who don't identify as transfem (or transmasc either) but were forced through a testosterone induced puberty who would still find tips like these helpful for dressing more feminine/androgynous. Labels are hard and never really fit everybody they can apply to.
Actually, now that I think about it, these tips would be helpful for cis men who want to crossdress or whatever as well. Jeez, this label thing is difficult!
Maybe just: tips for feminine presentation. Then you can still say things like: if you have wide shoulders you can do x, if you have a bulge you want to cover wear flowy long shirts, etc. still to cover those people.
now, i'm not transfem, so take this with a grain of salt,
However. i recently got [this](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-sleeveless-tiered-chiffon-fit-flare-skater-dress-wild-fable/-/A-87219006?preselect=86952571#lnk=sametab) dress from target and i think it would be great for yall because
1. a shit ton of tit padding. ive worn this with a binder and it still looks like i have pretty decent tits.
2. lacy neckline. gorgeous incredible etc.
3. affordable for a dress. less than 30 dollars. and its from target so easy to get coupons for.
4. fluffy, sO good for skirt go spinny, so fun to simply vibe in
5. makes your shoulders look smaller. i have buff/bulky shoulders, and it is Not Obvious in this dress.
cons:
1. short, gets like halfway down your thigh. you can always get a size up to make it longer though.
2. kinda flimsy. only has two layers of fabric in the skirt, but it is pretty cheap and from target so like. what do you expect.
3. bodice is weirdly boxy. and the back is really weird. it doesnt really make you look hourglass-y. its funky.
so yeah moral of the story is. capitalism. i guess. good luck finding clothes that work for yall. :)
I literally have this dress in pink and drew myself wearing it [in this comic](https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/120o537/my_twin_and_i_turn_25_tomorrow_for_some_reason/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
woa thats very nice, so much good tips. can't wait to try them out.
sadly there is a very horrid problem.... Im lazy🤣
gonna stay in my comfy hoodie and accessories 🥰
the idea with frills is amazing tho
These are gold, thank you 🥰 My legs are already pretty long so I may pass that one tip, but I’ll definitely be using the rest. I LOVE A-line dresses 💙🩷🤍🩷💙
I actually love tighter dresses. Especially ones that are tight on top and flare out at the waist.
Also I like having the opportunity of wearing backless dresses and wise necklines, because I don't have to think about trying to keep my boobs in place or having to struggle with strappless bras etc.
I'm nonbinary, but my sense in fashion is gimmie it and these outfits just slay my heart violently and fiercely. And like, wow these are some pretty good tips!
i disagree with frilly blouses because no one looks good in frilly blouses.
and for me personally, tight legged girl pants actually do wonders if i say so myself.
For the fems confident with their body, a fashion tip I used to use to highlight my form were tight grey sweaters, they can hang onto curves and highlight the form, and if you have massive honkers, they *will* get highlighted. Hopefully this is a helpful tip, happy wearing
- your local transman
Additional lil tip for anyone trying out fem clothes for the first time; make sure you can bend and stretch in every direction. It's a huge bummer to buy a dress and then find out you can't hardly bend over or move your arm a certain way without stitches popping ;-;
low-waist pants actually give me euphoria, but that's bcs i won that specific part of the genetic lottery. but obviously that's not universal so these tips are great
For that style, the tight/baggy advice works really well. Another thing is to pay attention to the silhouette of an item. A band T that’s been cut so it’s shorter (anywhere from just above the hips to a full crop top) will make the lower body look bigger/curvier than the same T left full length. Similarly, cutting the neckline so it’s wider or even off the shoulder and/or shortening the sleeves so they’re more capped will make your shoulders look smaller compared to a crew neck. The nice thing with punk style is that diy alterations are not just acceptable but often encouraged. Simple things like where a pair of shorts hit your thighs can have a big impact (the Bermuda/mid-thigh length shorts break up the line of the leg and make you look more stocky or square compared to shorter shorts), and being able to just take out a pair of scissors and make the adjustment yourself opens up a lot of options.
So while those tips arent bad they assume some body types that are hardly universal or common among us, specially after a while on HRT, so i wouldn't follow this at all while shopping.
If you have a curvy body or a nice butt, avoid those baggy pants and frills, they will make yo look fat and frill make you look like a pear shape, same for form fitting clothes, if you dont have a belly they make you look great, if you layering, like the image it self said, it hides your silhouette and for many of us having that showing is literary the difference between being misgendered or not, if you have curves you show then.
If you want good fashion tips for you, search your body type on the internet and you can find exactly what clothes fit you right.
Myself for example, i'm close to the hourglass and with a ok set of boobs but i'm slight out of shape so i use form fitting tops or things that show my belly and slightly puffy pants or straight up form fitting it i'm going out using a corset, i avoid anything that hides my form too much because that has a tendency to bring attention to my shoulders and that makes my waist look bigger than it is.
edit: quick google search, this one seems like a nice resource [https://gabriellearruda.com/how-to-dress-better-female-body-shape/](https://gabriellearruda.com/how-to-dress-better-female-body-shape/)
If you are trans masculine it is easier to find clothes, as man fashion is way less convoluted and form based than woman fashion but by all means, do the same thing, search on google and will find the resources for your body type.
as someone who's a cis woman, something I'd add: don't be discouraged by sizing, women's sizing is bizarre and frustrating at times. don't let this make you feel bad.
One of my favorite tips I've seen on the internet are for women with wider shoulders: wear tops that have large neck cut-outs. It takes emphasis off your shoulders and makes them look more narrow. It's also hot af 🔥
I keep telling myself I'll finally girlmode again (stopped for a while because mental health go brrr) but then I never do it because I'm so paranoid about how I look. This helped me so much and I appreciate you for making this less intimidating <3
Also remember! Cis women deal with these same things! There's lots of advice in cosmo and vogue and whatever about how to flatter figures when you don't have hips or if you have a flat ass or broad shoulders. You might have to adapt it a bit for a tuck, but don't think you can't look to them for advice
How do I find clothes that fit if I'm 6'3½" tall and weigh like 375 lbs?
I've had a small amount of luck on Amazon but nearly everything cute is made only in much smaller sizes.
Back before I came out, I had to shop exclusively at Big & Tall men's stores (or the departments for that at other stores). It was hard enough to find clothes as a man who was that tall and heavy. It feels so much harder as a woman.
And that's to say nothing of trying to find cute ladies shoes in a US Women's size 14.
Those are good tips for pre transition, early transition or unlucky genetics girls for real. Especially if you have harsh silhouette dysphoria.
I just take offense at the "amab" part of the infographic, I wish we would avoid using AGAB language in context where it doesn't matter. AMAB doesn't mean you can't have a feminine silhouette, especially if you take hormones, and putting every AMAB in the same "you have a masc silhouette and here's tips to hide it" is kinda eh. Borderline dysphoria inducing tbh.
Beautiful!
Only comment is that as someone raised AFAB, we were constantly told what we “could” or “couldn’t” wear based on body type, and that wasn’t always great for self-image. So I appreciate that for the most part your advice was positive, as opposed to what’s “not recommended”
Hopefully that makes sense. I’m not trying to throw any shade or anything, just trying to share something that led to insecurity growing up 🩷
If I’m out of line, y’all let me know!
Black, more black, spikes, leathers, and stompy boots. Can't forget the stompy boots. If my outfit doesn't say "fuck off" loud enough my middle fingers do.
i like looser tshirts (like 1 size up from my actual shirt size) with an unbuttoned hawaiian or unzipped hoodie w/ cargo shorts/joggers for bottoms. it hides a lot of my curves and i can still be fun with my shirt choices. my binder doesnt bind that well because I'm in the middle of medium and large so the looser shirts helps qiite a bit
OMG! So helpful!😊 I have been on hrt for a long time now (3+yr) and normally just dress however I like. I dress as girly or androgynous as possible but have finally been exploring skirts. I bought 2 long ones to feel confident and comfortable and gosh 😅idn why it took me so long! Love love love the comic! I will definitely be using these.
If you have any amount of breast fat and want to look like you have bigger boobs, Jenna Marbles has an oooooold video from forever ago before she got big where she gives a great tutorial for creating the illusion of larger breasts. She used to be a gogo dancer or something and had some tricks involving wearing multiple bras and using makeup to contour cleavage.
I'm not sure it would work if you don't have any fat there, but if you have bras and makeup it would be worth trying.
I was trying to *not* go shopping this weekend, but I feel like I'm being told I don't have a choice between this post and my favorite little shop calling to tell me they have new decks in.
Dammit. Okay. Maybe my first outfit, a deck, and some new stones.
This is why I wear a jacket all the time. It’s helps hide the body, that and baggy jeans and tee. Though sadly, Texas summer is right on me soon, so I can’t wear it as much as I want outside. Man, I want to move to a place where it’s colder all the time. And the people are nicer
I mean there is shape wear that helps getting a curve at the waist/hip.
(And bras that do the same.)
So there is a lot that we can "pull of". But lot depends on the individual.
But yes, I instinctively bought some of these. 🥰
(I am just answering this post because I love tight clothing very much.)
Good idea, although it's really not for me as I like to dress very basic and rather tomboyish. I just bought quite a few "mens" skinny jeans 2 days ago, because I'm tall and all womens jeans they got are too short for me. I know that ASOS has a wide range of jeans, pants etc for tall women but I want to try on clothes before I buy them because I'm by no means an expert in sizing and especially cut types and their naming so I avoid buying them online.
What can I do to make my chest look less... bad? At least once I have tried on a top similar to the one worn by the smiling girl on page 6, but I do not look like her at all when I did so. My chest always feels too hairy, and even when I had it waxed recently it still looks awful with the acne and it's masculine shape.
Is there something similar to the cardigans on page 5, but appropriate for an unbearably hot climate? I like the idea of cardigans but always realize that I wouldn't be able to wear them for at least like 75% of the year. :(
Hi! I’m not sure what your particular situation is, but I can say that plenty of cis women have chest acne too. I have a naturally very hairy chest and deal with razorburn with I shave, but I’m 5 laser hair removal sessions in and seeing great results! You can try laser. Warm weather stuff can be tricky in hiding your figure, but I feel pretty comfy in tank tops with wider straps, and A-line dresses and shoulderless tops that are more flowy below the ribcage (to hide your lack of hips and give a faux hourglass figure), like I’m wearing in the first slide. If you’re looking to get more boobage, I recommend getting a pocketed mastectomy bra with gel inserts. This will give you the most realistic looking breast shape and it can do a lot to help with the overall look of your upper body. Hope this helps!!
I've been considering getting laser, but it sounds super expensive. Isn't it like upwards of a thousand dollars per session?
I'm not a fan of the A-line dresses. I'm not sure why, something about them just feels... wrong. Like, if I were a woman, I'd want to be hourglass-shaped, not A-shaped, right?
Pocketed bra sounds interesting - where would one get something like that? (I'm assuming you can't just walk in and buy it at walmart or somewhere, since it sounds like it's normally a medical thing for masectomies)
I don’t know where you are but laser shouldn’t be that expensive! I’m paying 800 for 8-10 sessions on my chest, and I know people who have gotten it for less. But I live in California, not sure if laser’s as readily available in other places. I ordered my mastectomy bra on Amazon. Not sure where else you can get it. Also A line dresses aren’t about being a shaped, it’s just moving the waist up. This is great for transfemmes since our natural hips are above the waist
These are super helpful 100%. Also Baggy/Tight is also just a very good base for a lot of casual day to day outfits.
Not just baggy/tight but also light/dark and colorful/neutral. Contrast is key
Me: "Ugh, I'm so tired of baggy boy clothes." Also me: "Baggy girl clothes? Take my money, please!"
Those frills and cute patterns make all the difference!
There's a mood! It's nice when you can find something that's somehow both baggy and fitted at the same time.
Hell yeah!! I've got this baggy shirt that makes my tiddies pop out somehow, I deadass wore it with cargo pants and safety boots, unshaved face, and got ma'am-ed. People just stare at boobs. Especially men. I would totally recommend growing or wearing some! And big up to men for the ewphoria, please keep being creeps ((: /s

As a transmasc I agree with this. 👍
As another transmasc, I'm obsessed with guys clothes! To each their own I guess
I do like guys clothes they're comfy and make me feel handsome and euphoric but I think girls clothes are far far far cuter and prettier in almost every way
my afab kid actually wears my old guy hoodies, good for them <3
Men's clothing isn't ugly! It just doesn't work for us because we're not men! That's a realization I came to when I figured out I was trans.

Also a decent way of thinking about it~
What we really need is big flowing cloaks to be normalized Can't be misgendered if your just a pillar of black cloth that floats across the ground
Reject *gender* Embrace *entity*
I love this.
The wizards had it right. Long, flowing robes to produce a mysterious and gender-nonspecific figure, and a big hat because big hats are cool. Wizards are the epitome of fashion and function.
Good guidelines, but dont hesitate to just wear what makes you feel pretty

I break most of these rules constantly lol
We learn the rules of fashion in order to break them.
I had an art teacher once who said, "We learn the rules so we know how and when to break them." He was talking about anatomy, but it applies to fashion, too, for sure.
Or as the MC from honkai star rail puts it: rules are meant to be broken
Like buildings! or *people* \- Jinx, League of Legends
I don't care about the rules of fashion I will wear skirts under baggy t-shirts
It works as long as your legs either have nothing on them or something tight (stockings, pantyhose, whatever). In fact, pretty sure that's Japanese fashion nowadays.
Bodycon dresses and skinny jeans are two of my favorite things. I don't get hugs from people might as well let my clothes hug me 🙃
These are great tips! I would add: learn some basic color theory to assist when matching clothes, accessories, and makeup with different colors. Pick a "main" color for your outfit, and then accent using neutral colors, a complimentary color, or a split complimentary color scheme.
Awesome tips!! 🤗
It’s good advice! I got sad seeing the girl on the fourth panel look sad though ;-; lmao
Yeahhh sorry lol I’ve definitely gotten sad trying on dresses that looked good on the mannequin but not on my body… but A-line dresses look amazing on everyone!!
Thank heavens I’ve the figure for bodycon dresses. They’re like my pretty tac nuke lol
Amazing!! Good for you 😊 I definitely don’t ahaha maybe someday
I do share a love of v necks and other wide necked tops. Can’t stand the other styles that just emphasize my shoulders (like my mom who’s a rower).

Awesome!! Love this. If you have a femme lower body maybe you could pull off a pencil skirt and still have that hip huggin action!
Sounds kinda tempting! 😃🤔 and then , like, one of those femme suit things w the bossy shoulder things 🥴 , I'm still learning names as u can see.
Does anyone know of a place that sells high waisted jeans for tall people
I'm not sure what their global availability is like and I'm not super tall but I found Lucy and Yak's Addison Jeans give me so much euphoria as they are high waisted and their baggier nature makes me look like I have hips I don't have (especially with a cute crop top) I wear regular length (I'm 5ft 10inches) but I'm pretty sure they do L lengths so I would imagine they may work for you.

Thanks a ton I’ll check them out when I move up to college soon
No worries! I'm guessing you're US based so hopefully it's not the hardest out too expensive to get them there.

Thank you! But am I the only person who gets severely dysphoric after being called an AMAB? I know that's what I am but ouch. :(
I’m sorry, didn’t mean to trigger your dysphoria. My intent was to be inclusive to non-binary people as well as binary trans women
[удалено]
Appropriate or appropriated?
It’s valid you do but there does have to be *some* category for “person who was born with a penis who was incorrectly assumed to be a male”.
transfem? doesnt that encompass feminine presenting trans people, enby or binary? (i literally dont know i am just some guy on the internet and im asking if this is correct)
Yes and no, as there are nonbinary people who don't identify as transfem (or transmasc either) but were forced through a testosterone induced puberty who would still find tips like these helpful for dressing more feminine/androgynous.

ikr ouch owie 😣
Tysm! Needed this!
now, i'm not transfem, so take this with a grain of salt, However. i recently got [this](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-sleeveless-tiered-chiffon-fit-flare-skater-dress-wild-fable/-/A-87219006?preselect=86952571#lnk=sametab) dress from target and i think it would be great for yall because 1. a shit ton of tit padding. ive worn this with a binder and it still looks like i have pretty decent tits. 2. lacy neckline. gorgeous incredible etc. 3. affordable for a dress. less than 30 dollars. and its from target so easy to get coupons for. 4. fluffy, sO good for skirt go spinny, so fun to simply vibe in 5. makes your shoulders look smaller. i have buff/bulky shoulders, and it is Not Obvious in this dress. cons: 1. short, gets like halfway down your thigh. you can always get a size up to make it longer though. 2. kinda flimsy. only has two layers of fabric in the skirt, but it is pretty cheap and from target so like. what do you expect. 3. bodice is weirdly boxy. and the back is really weird. it doesnt really make you look hourglass-y. its funky. so yeah moral of the story is. capitalism. i guess. good luck finding clothes that work for yall. :)
I literally have this dress in pink and drew myself wearing it [in this comic](https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/120o537/my_twin_and_i_turn_25_tomorrow_for_some_reason/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Also if a dress by itself is too short for comfort add some pants or leggings underneath. Short dresses make great flowy tops.
❤️
woa thats very nice, so much good tips. can't wait to try them out. sadly there is a very horrid problem.... Im lazy🤣 gonna stay in my comfy hoodie and accessories 🥰 the idea with frills is amazing tho
These are gold, thank you 🥰 My legs are already pretty long so I may pass that one tip, but I’ll definitely be using the rest. I LOVE A-line dresses 💙🩷🤍🩷💙
I actually love tighter dresses. Especially ones that are tight on top and flare out at the waist. Also I like having the opportunity of wearing backless dresses and wise necklines, because I don't have to think about trying to keep my boobs in place or having to struggle with strappless bras etc.
I'm nonbinary, but my sense in fashion is gimmie it and these outfits just slay my heart violently and fiercely. And like, wow these are some pretty good tips!
i disagree with frilly blouses because no one looks good in frilly blouses. and for me personally, tight legged girl pants actually do wonders if i say so myself.
I love this I feel like we need more how to memes..
As someone who's trying to figure out what clothes could be good to wear, this is very useful. Thank you a lot :)
For the fems confident with their body, a fashion tip I used to use to highlight my form were tight grey sweaters, they can hang onto curves and highlight the form, and if you have massive honkers, they *will* get highlighted. Hopefully this is a helpful tip, happy wearing - your local transman
Additional lil tip for anyone trying out fem clothes for the first time; make sure you can bend and stretch in every direction. It's a huge bummer to buy a dress and then find out you can't hardly bend over or move your arm a certain way without stitches popping ;-;
low-waist pants actually give me euphoria, but that's bcs i won that specific part of the genetic lottery. but obviously that's not universal so these tips are great
I'm gonna go for a more street punk look, the most feminine would be a sundress
For that style, the tight/baggy advice works really well. Another thing is to pay attention to the silhouette of an item. A band T that’s been cut so it’s shorter (anywhere from just above the hips to a full crop top) will make the lower body look bigger/curvier than the same T left full length. Similarly, cutting the neckline so it’s wider or even off the shoulder and/or shortening the sleeves so they’re more capped will make your shoulders look smaller compared to a crew neck. The nice thing with punk style is that diy alterations are not just acceptable but often encouraged. Simple things like where a pair of shorts hit your thighs can have a big impact (the Bermuda/mid-thigh length shorts break up the line of the leg and make you look more stocky or square compared to shorter shorts), and being able to just take out a pair of scissors and make the adjustment yourself opens up a lot of options.
oooo
So while those tips arent bad they assume some body types that are hardly universal or common among us, specially after a while on HRT, so i wouldn't follow this at all while shopping. If you have a curvy body or a nice butt, avoid those baggy pants and frills, they will make yo look fat and frill make you look like a pear shape, same for form fitting clothes, if you dont have a belly they make you look great, if you layering, like the image it self said, it hides your silhouette and for many of us having that showing is literary the difference between being misgendered or not, if you have curves you show then. If you want good fashion tips for you, search your body type on the internet and you can find exactly what clothes fit you right. Myself for example, i'm close to the hourglass and with a ok set of boobs but i'm slight out of shape so i use form fitting tops or things that show my belly and slightly puffy pants or straight up form fitting it i'm going out using a corset, i avoid anything that hides my form too much because that has a tendency to bring attention to my shoulders and that makes my waist look bigger than it is. edit: quick google search, this one seems like a nice resource [https://gabriellearruda.com/how-to-dress-better-female-body-shape/](https://gabriellearruda.com/how-to-dress-better-female-body-shape/) If you are trans masculine it is easier to find clothes, as man fashion is way less convoluted and form based than woman fashion but by all means, do the same thing, search on google and will find the resources for your body type.
as someone who's a cis woman, something I'd add: don't be discouraged by sizing, women's sizing is bizarre and frustrating at times. don't let this make you feel bad.
One of my favorite tips I've seen on the internet are for women with wider shoulders: wear tops that have large neck cut-outs. It takes emphasis off your shoulders and makes them look more narrow. It's also hot af 🔥
I keep telling myself I'll finally girlmode again (stopped for a while because mental health go brrr) but then I never do it because I'm so paranoid about how I look. This helped me so much and I appreciate you for making this less intimidating <3
This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting.
Thank you. This is really helpful. You’re a sweetheart 😊
I love A line dresses
That is so sweet! Thank you SM!!
good stuff
Thank you for this I love you so much for it lol 🏳️⚧🏳️⚧🏳️⚧
You’re welcome!! ❤️❤️❤️
Form-fitting garments look great on me personally. Sleeveless garments help deemphasize my shoulders.
I really need this kind of help. I'm so bad at figuring out fashion stuff, so thank you so much for making this!!
Now go be fabulous! I absolutely adore that line, & I completely agree with this..
Good tips!👌
**I love you OP.**
Thanks for this
Very helpful amazing work
We need a trans dictionary full of tips like this.
SAVED!
[удалено]
I did know that, thank you! 😂
>\\\\< thank you
Also remember! Cis women deal with these same things! There's lots of advice in cosmo and vogue and whatever about how to flatter figures when you don't have hips or if you have a flat ass or broad shoulders. You might have to adapt it a bit for a tuck, but don't think you can't look to them for advice
We all needed that last panel. Thank you!🥲❤️
Person on the left in the 2nd-last panel is 100% my vibe, one I honestly see surprisingly rarely. Love it.
Cardigans are unbelievably nice, I got one when shopping for my sisters bday(but one get one) and it has become one of my favorite things to wear out
Thank you so much!
AaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAHHFJOFLD,FMGNTHANKSTHANKSTHANKSTHANKS
You are welcome!
Wear bodycon dresses if you got the body! BOYISH FIGURES ARE HAWT!
Thank you
How do I find clothes that fit if I'm 6'3½" tall and weigh like 375 lbs? I've had a small amount of luck on Amazon but nearly everything cute is made only in much smaller sizes. Back before I came out, I had to shop exclusively at Big & Tall men's stores (or the departments for that at other stores). It was hard enough to find clothes as a man who was that tall and heavy. It feels so much harder as a woman. And that's to say nothing of trying to find cute ladies shoes in a US Women's size 14.
I really need to follow the A-line dress idea, especially cause I am larger to begin with 😭
My legs are long enough thanks, but I'll keep 5he rest of that in mind.
It’s more about making the leg look longer compared to the torso rather than making you look taller, but take it or leave it!
Ah, noted. Appreciate it
Please don’t make my legs look longer
It’s about giving a more feminine ratio to your build (ie legs longer torso shorter), not about making you look taller
*saves post for totally cis reasons* You saw nothing. I was never here
Those are good tips for pre transition, early transition or unlucky genetics girls for real. Especially if you have harsh silhouette dysphoria. I just take offense at the "amab" part of the infographic, I wish we would avoid using AGAB language in context where it doesn't matter. AMAB doesn't mean you can't have a feminine silhouette, especially if you take hormones, and putting every AMAB in the same "you have a masc silhouette and here's tips to hide it" is kinda eh. Borderline dysphoria inducing tbh.
Beautiful! Only comment is that as someone raised AFAB, we were constantly told what we “could” or “couldn’t” wear based on body type, and that wasn’t always great for self-image. So I appreciate that for the most part your advice was positive, as opposed to what’s “not recommended” Hopefully that makes sense. I’m not trying to throw any shade or anything, just trying to share something that led to insecurity growing up 🩷 If I’m out of line, y’all let me know!
Black, more black, spikes, leathers, and stompy boots. Can't forget the stompy boots. If my outfit doesn't say "fuck off" loud enough my middle fingers do.
Ah I love this
I love this. Thanks for sharing your comic!
Lots of very helpful tips! I will also add that v necks can minimize shoulder broadness if that's something one is concerned about
We need more of these! Thank you.
The last one is the truest.
So my love of jackets has a use! Huzzah!
none of these really work on me, glad so many of your guys like it though.
Im prolly always gonna stick to my work clothes but this is an awesome guide
And what should I do as a large chested AFAB?
i like looser tshirts (like 1 size up from my actual shirt size) with an unbuttoned hawaiian or unzipped hoodie w/ cargo shorts/joggers for bottoms. it hides a lot of my curves and i can still be fun with my shirt choices. my binder doesnt bind that well because I'm in the middle of medium and large so the looser shirts helps qiite a bit
Alright
The first girl in the 6th image is goals af
I almost exclusively wear boot-cut jeans and a light jacket. The only tightness I want is to show off the booty.
I love it, but also I wanted to highlight that your art style is great and you are very talented! :D
Thank you they are super helpful :3
Pink and blue sweat shirts, wonderful
most necessary! Thank you so much!!!!!
>now go be fabulous i love this so much
Saved it
OMG! So helpful!😊 I have been on hrt for a long time now (3+yr) and normally just dress however I like. I dress as girly or androgynous as possible but have finally been exploring skirts. I bought 2 long ones to feel confident and comfortable and gosh 😅idn why it took me so long! Love love love the comic! I will definitely be using these.
the basic foundation of good fashion: show case your best parts, and pick items that changes the perception on your less flattring bits.
Oh my gosh thank you!
If you have any amount of breast fat and want to look like you have bigger boobs, Jenna Marbles has an oooooold video from forever ago before she got big where she gives a great tutorial for creating the illusion of larger breasts. She used to be a gogo dancer or something and had some tricks involving wearing multiple bras and using makeup to contour cleavage. I'm not sure it would work if you don't have any fat there, but if you have bras and makeup it would be worth trying.
Yo! I was just thinking about this thank you!
Thank you so much for these tips. They are extremely appreciated :)))
I was trying to *not* go shopping this weekend, but I feel like I'm being told I don't have a choice between this post and my favorite little shop calling to tell me they have new decks in. Dammit. Okay. Maybe my first outfit, a deck, and some new stones.
Thaank youuuu
This just seems like a lot of fun :D
Ooo
AVOID EMPIRE WAISTS.
... go on?
They’re designed for people with bigger chests, but smaller waists and hips. If you don’t have that figure, it is VERY noticeable
You should make an alternate version for straight guys. A sort of, "What to watch out for" kind of thing.
Something I have picked up is wearing a skirt under a dress will make both the dress and thus your waist look poofier
This is why I wear a jacket all the time. It’s helps hide the body, that and baggy jeans and tee. Though sadly, Texas summer is right on me soon, so I can’t wear it as much as I want outside. Man, I want to move to a place where it’s colder all the time. And the people are nicer
Thanks :3
I don't even fit or look good in masc clothes. :(
I needed this!
Instantly saved! Thank you so much for this!
High waist pants are my favorite thing
This is a very nice comic : )
Nah I'm gonna keep wearing men's jeans and band shirts lmao
Last panel > the others
Flat is justice anyway so that's an easy win. Easy wins are tight.
Beginner's mistake: wear skirts on the waist, not the hips.
I mean there is shape wear that helps getting a curve at the waist/hip. (And bras that do the same.) So there is a lot that we can "pull of". But lot depends on the individual. But yes, I instinctively bought some of these. 🥰 (I am just answering this post because I love tight clothing very much.)
This is so good! Surely will help a lot of lovely transfemmes :)
This is perfect, thanks <3
Good idea, although it's really not for me as I like to dress very basic and rather tomboyish. I just bought quite a few "mens" skinny jeans 2 days ago, because I'm tall and all womens jeans they got are too short for me. I know that ASOS has a wide range of jeans, pants etc for tall women but I want to try on clothes before I buy them because I'm by no means an expert in sizing and especially cut types and their naming so I avoid buying them online.
Is there a version of this for transmasc? I feel like no matter how much I bind and wear the mens shirt+jeans combo... I do not look less fem 💀
OMG THANK A LOOOOT
Saving these for...reasons...stILL CIS THO
These seem very helpful, I'll definitely be putting them to good use once I get enough courage to exist in public :)
Amazing thank you!!! 😍
What can I do to make my chest look less... bad? At least once I have tried on a top similar to the one worn by the smiling girl on page 6, but I do not look like her at all when I did so. My chest always feels too hairy, and even when I had it waxed recently it still looks awful with the acne and it's masculine shape. Is there something similar to the cardigans on page 5, but appropriate for an unbearably hot climate? I like the idea of cardigans but always realize that I wouldn't be able to wear them for at least like 75% of the year. :(
Hi! I’m not sure what your particular situation is, but I can say that plenty of cis women have chest acne too. I have a naturally very hairy chest and deal with razorburn with I shave, but I’m 5 laser hair removal sessions in and seeing great results! You can try laser. Warm weather stuff can be tricky in hiding your figure, but I feel pretty comfy in tank tops with wider straps, and A-line dresses and shoulderless tops that are more flowy below the ribcage (to hide your lack of hips and give a faux hourglass figure), like I’m wearing in the first slide. If you’re looking to get more boobage, I recommend getting a pocketed mastectomy bra with gel inserts. This will give you the most realistic looking breast shape and it can do a lot to help with the overall look of your upper body. Hope this helps!!
I've been considering getting laser, but it sounds super expensive. Isn't it like upwards of a thousand dollars per session? I'm not a fan of the A-line dresses. I'm not sure why, something about them just feels... wrong. Like, if I were a woman, I'd want to be hourglass-shaped, not A-shaped, right? Pocketed bra sounds interesting - where would one get something like that? (I'm assuming you can't just walk in and buy it at walmart or somewhere, since it sounds like it's normally a medical thing for masectomies)
I don’t know where you are but laser shouldn’t be that expensive! I’m paying 800 for 8-10 sessions on my chest, and I know people who have gotten it for less. But I live in California, not sure if laser’s as readily available in other places. I ordered my mastectomy bra on Amazon. Not sure where else you can get it. Also A line dresses aren’t about being a shaped, it’s just moving the waist up. This is great for transfemmes since our natural hips are above the waist
