Title: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Devlyn on May 31, 2018, 09:02:21 PM
Do you have purely male or female clothes?

I have almost exclusively women's clothes. One item of male clothing I won't be getting rid of anytime soon is my field jacket. I don't wear it but it's a memory I like to keep around.

I have purely male clothes. Some of the female clothes I had left over (either through sentimental value or the initial cost of the item in question) I have taken the time to find "homes" for with those who could use them. Most of the items luckily fit one of my partners and have boosted her wardrobe as a result.

I've transitioned all my clothing to female clothes but I haven't gone shopping since I left high school 3 years ago!
Need a major shopping spree and a style update once I get my augmentation.

Cheers,
Anja

I've got a bit of both, but most of my "guy clothes" are a little androgynous. I was into punk and gothic fashion before I decided to transition, and both styles encourage a sort of in-between look, so a lot of my male wardrobe was bought/made with the intention of looking a little feminine.

After transitioning, I'm thinking I'll want to do basically the same thing, but in reverse--wearing "girl clothes" that look a bit masculine (think chains and spikes and stuff). So I'm planning to just slowly phase out my old stuff with new stuff that's a little more feminine and form-fitting.

A few fancy dresses would be cool too, but I think I'll wait till my body's done shaping itself for that. I'd be heartbroken if I found the perfect dress and only had a chance to wear it once or twice before it stopped fitting.  :)

No guy clothes anymore, not that I had much of those in anycase.

Last autumn when I threw everything away I spend a little time of thinking, how difficult it was for me to even buy guy clothes. Just couldn´t see the clothes on me. As a result, shirts for example that I threw away, were from the late 90´s...believe it or not...

At least they were worth the money  ;D

I've rehomed like 95% of my female clothes.  The few I have are stuff I plan on eventually taking pics of and posting for sale on ebay.  Maybe I can get back some of the money I've spent on buying them. ;)

Funnily enough I had a huge wardrobe re-org last week and whilst I knew my male clothes were outnumbered even i was surprised how few 'man' clothes I have left.    We are down to 2 suits and about 5 work shirts.

Skirts, dresses, skinny jeans, leggings, blouses are plentiful.    Guess that answers the question about eventual transition.

I got rid of 99% of my male clothes last year.  I have an extensive wardrobe of gorgeous female clothes, almost all purchased at second-hand stores.

I did keep a handul of male clothes.  One pair of jeans for messy jobs.  My hiking clothes.  I don't do much backwoods or mountain hiking any more, but I do have to walk the dog an hour EVERY day, rain or shine, for which my hiking clothes are most suitable.  They are expensive to replace.

Have some of both, Mostly female though. Shoes are another story. Female outnumber male 5 to 1!
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Tommi on June 01, 2018, 01:24:44 PM
I've donated all my male work clothes and shoes. I've kept a lot of t-shirts, a pair of jeans, some hiking boots basically for garage/yard work/camping. Women's clothes are just not as thick/sturdy. For fun clothes I also kept a lot of my goth wardrobe and have built off of it.

I still need,to do one more donation purge of male clothes I haven't worn in a year that I thought I may still need. Haven't needed them at all!

Unfortunately I still have mostly women's clothes...if you exclude the multitude of unisex tees I've been collecting since I was like 18....But that doesn't really count. I don't have much to wear in general...But probably 90% of my clothes are still fem...not worn, but still in the closet, drawers and floor, because I'm a dumpster fire human.

During my first years out i wore only skirts and dresses and tossed many items I once wore.  I was so ready to break out of my self denial and own my girlhood.  As I became more comfortable with my non binary gender identity it seems clothing lost gender significance and rather than girl/boy clothing it is now just my clothing.  With many moods and a very social life I have more clothes than closet space and now need to reduce the inventory.

I love lace, frills and fine feathers but happy to also have a nice selection for whatever strikes my fancy or need.  While out doing trail and field work levies still protect better than my leggings and tutu!

Much like big shoulders and a penis do not define masculinity, clothing does not reliably proclaim gender.  Girls can go butch and boys can go fem, all good here!

Post by: ErinWDK on June 02, 2018, 07:14:29 AM
Girl clothes or guy clothes...  Oh My!  Given my status I use the guy clothes a lot more and there are a LOT of them.  I need to go through those and rid out a lot -- some I have not worn in years.  So can go to charity, but a lot would have to go for rags.  The girl clothes are less numerous but are in better shape and get better care.  Some of the girl stuff that the male me got and the female me will NOT wear have gone to charity as well.

The one category where girl things outnumber guy things is shoes.  Go figure.

My warmest coat is also one of the girl pieces.

I'm slowly yet steadily building my female wardrobe.  I'm probably at least 6 months to a year away from going full time.   I stopped wearing male underwear awhile ago.  All the new clothing purchases that I make tend to be either female or unisex clothing. 

With Love,
Noelle

All fem apart from some T shirts that have hot rod/drag race prints and some VW ones, still have a male coat but the lining is jazzy and its a good bad weather one. Forgot about the work boot socks but then they are uni 
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Sarah_P on June 10, 2018, 11:11:25 AM
All female, except for 1 pair of pants and 2 shirts, both as junk clothes for doing something like painting or whatever. I still have several unisex t-shirts that were bonuses from some kickstarters (MST3k & Rifftrax mostly) and whatnot that are irreplaceable.
The wardrobe is also overwhelming. Especially since moving in with my girlfriend. Thankfully we're the same size (Except in height), so we can share, and the general quantity shouldn't increase all that much.
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Charlie Nicki on June 10, 2018, 01:55:10 PM
Sadly mostly male at this point. I've bought some cute tops but I need a lot more! Can male clothes look girly with the right combination and figure? I'm kinda thinking to try this with some of it.

My female outfits are beginning to out number my male outfits. It helps when you go to Goodwill and find 4 blouses for $18 bucks.

Ninety-nine percent women's clothes. The last of "his" clothes - excepting a couple of treasured jackets and a few non-gender-specific t-shirts and cargo shorts - were finally donated last week. It was an unexpectedly emotional thing to let them go at first, but now it's a relief that they're gone.

I bought some women's clothing but I don't think they look "right" on me just yet, if ever. Online shopping wasn't a good idea... I mean a few of the skirts and leggings are cute. But not the tops [emoji53]
I have some male clothing, but I got rid of a LOT when I moved a few months ago.
I need to do laundry tomorrow.

I have some cute women's shorts, tops, and pajamas I bought from forever 21, and I have a ton of panties I purchased from Victoria's Secret, Adore Me, and Venza. I do have a few pairs of women's jeans that I do wear out of the house quite often. But I'm still too afraid to wear the cute shorts out of the house though. However, the other day I did wear a pink pair of my cute shorts while I rode my bicycle around the neighborhood, and to the mailbox. I noticed a guy looking at me but I think he was trying to see if I was really a girl hehe. Since I exclusively only wear women's panties though, I have no men's underwear at all in my house.

I'm a transitioned ftm but I'm pretty sure I mostly have women's clothes in my wardrobe. Maybe around 30% or so is men's clothes. Most of it is masculine either way though, and looks like stuff a guy would wear. Women's simply fit better on my body cause of its shape, and the only men's garments I can really wear are shirts, jackets and underwear. So it's for practical reasons and accepting the reality of my curvy body (while I'm trying to further masculinise it), and not about my gender expression or point in transition.

However I do still have a few dresses, skirts and feminine shirts lying around, even some old bras and panties, but no way I'm putting that on again. Too dysphoria-inducing! I'll probably get rid of that at some point if I get the energy to, or it can continue to collect dust in my storage room for all I care.

I have absolutely NO male clothes.  When I became full-time, quit my male-mode job, relocated to my new town as a woman and started my own self-employed business, I did not pack, move or take any of my old male clothes with me... besides, with my even more pronounced female features and even a more diminutive body build that I had before, non of them would fit me correctly anyway....   I made a clean, 100% break, there is no going back.

Reminds me of the story about Cortez, the Spanish Explorer that came to the new world, when he arrived with small armada of ships and his men, he burnt his ships as a clear statement to his men that there was no going back.
    ***Perhaps for many of us, particularly the full-time transitioners, this is good advice.

I would say that 75% of my clothes consist of extra small female clothes that look masculine enough. Out of those, 80% are dress shirts. I basically try to buy in my size things that I like that X male character wears in X show. I have no sense of fashion so I sort of copy and match what I see on Tv.

I am about 60/40 male/female. but that is how I dress too, I switch around a lot. I have always liked to play in the dirt and work on cars so i find that male clothes are just more suited for some activities.
All of my really nice evening/party clothes are female styles. I just love the choices of color/style/textures.

And ALL of my undies are female!
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Lady Sarah on July 30, 2018, 03:57:34 PM
I have zero male clothes. I probably have too much female clothes, but I like a full wardrobe. The only clothing item I have from before transitioning is a Tesla t-shirt, from 1987, but it qualifies as female clothes. Hey, women wear t-shirts all the time.

I just bought my first outfit, knee length little black dress , kitten heels, hose, panties, and bra. 
Amazingly, everything fits! It helped that the only thing I bought online was the panties.

I have four closets stuffed with boy clothes (or girl/boy/women's clothes that passes as boy clothes).

I also discovered my feet are half a size smaller than I thought they were. 

I've been culling out tops that are too large.  Just because something is labeled "small" doesn't mean it isn't too big to wear.  i also need to toss the pants that I bought when I first started studying fashion.  My waistline has shrunk from 29 to 26 inches.

All of my shirts and shoes are men's (I'm FtM). I currently don't have access to men's pants, though the pants I do have aren't feminine at all. So, all of my outfits are essentially male.
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: jesse135 on July 30, 2018, 09:34:43 PM
Mostly androgynous. 100% cotton t-shirts with designs/movies printed on them. Or khakis and black collar shirts for work, kind of a uniform of our side of a company.

Casually, male
Work, androgynous.

Maybe one day I will have the ability to upgrade to fully male. Are you where you want to be in yours?
Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: SeptagonScars on July 31, 2018, 04:29:43 PM
Update. My wardrobe is now an unsorted mess on my bedroom floor. I've been trying to get some (okay a lot) more feminine clothing this past month and I did get some. Now dresses, skirts, tops, bras, stockings and high heeled shoes lay mixed together with masculine pants, button-up shirts, men's shoes, blazers, etc. Will sort it out on Friday when I have laundry booked and stuff away the guy clothes into my storage room.

Before, I used to wear very masc clothes, but now detransitioning I want all the fem stuff I can possibly get my hands on! But as it's just been one month, I haven't exactly managed to make a total wardrobe shift yet. I've just got a few outfits and some underwear stuff, and that's about all for now. Now I'm really glad I kept a few of my fem clothes from before my transition. They still fit, 9 years later, and it feels like I'm time-traveling...

I feel very comfortable wearing skirts, dresses, etc, now. I haven't for all that time I lived as a guy, but now it's like... I didn't know that I missed it. I'll keep buying more feminine clothes as I'll find them or they'll find me. Gonna need a winter jacket, likely new jeans for when fat redistribution happens when I go off T, and lots of new underwear. And lingerie, definitely lingerie. Well, clothing is probably the only fun part about my detransitioning...

Mostly androgynous men's clothes. I almost exclusively wear jeans and t-shirts, and that's how I'll be after transitioning too. I am not a girly girl by any means.

I have a couple long sleeve shirts and a couple pairs of men's work pants left for grubby chores around the house but that's about it. The rest went to goodwill months ago.

Now my real problem is diversifying my wardrobe colors since it's currently suffering from an overabundance of blue shades.

I went on a shopping spree at my favorite online shop. Venus  I love this place. I bought a black shirt dress, a black Maxi dress and a multi colored knee length dress, for about $100 worth. I'm old, not dead. I also went shopping at Goodwill and got six blouses for about $30. I now have 3 pairs of skinny jeans and some skinny leggings. I have a pair of custom shoes, a pair of demi boots and some sandals from Sketchers. I have a fair amount of accessories and underwear. All in all, I think I can make a fashion statement. Thankfully my wife gave me some room in the dresser for my stuff.

I have about 80% woman's clothing. A few suits, a couple pair of jeans/shorts. Then there are t-shirts which I mostly wear.
Are T-shirts exclusively male clothing or both?

Of course my underwear is all feminine.

Post by: Jin on September 04, 2018, 10:43:16 AM
Kymmie,
T-shirts are not for males only. They are generic. Of course, some styles are more suited to hug a girl's curves, and some prints are too girly for most men. I often wear a deep V neck with shorts or even outdoorsy type skirts.
I do not always wear a bra under because I like to show off my parts.

Post by: RobynD on September 04, 2018, 11:20:26 AM
I have no male clothes except for a few things retained on a sentimental value such as my high school letter jacket and a few whacky ties my kids bought me.

I do have a fair amount of unisex looking stuff but most of that either carry the true unisex label (example converse sneakers) or come from the girl side of the store.

Most of my t-shirts are form-fitting feminine type - with v-necks, although I have lots of crew necks, particularly stuff like dry-fit athletic wear.

Mine is like 99% male stuff still, as I'm barely out to myself, let alone anyone I actually know  :laugh:
But I do have 3 dresses, string top and leggings, some underwear and a sports bra. So they keep me going at the moment for my evenings at home alone being me :)

My phone just tried to change "me" to "Mr". Worst. Autocorrect. Possible.

Mine seems to be piling up like snow. I have more male clothes, but it's almost to a point where I actually have enough female clothes that I could live using them exclusively.  But not quite.  I still don't have a coat.  Might need one this winter, you never know.

The only few items left of my former wardrobe are scattered among various boxes of crap I'll never likely open again to even realize they're in there.

Oddly enough, there are even more pieces of men's clothing in my closet now that aren't mine, than what of mine still lurks in those boxes.

My girlfriend isn't trans or even GF but simply finds men's clothing more comfortable... LMAO go figure, I cleared out my old men's clothing to make room for my cis girlfriend to put her men's clothes in the same space!!

I've been buying fitted women's T shirts whenever possible.  They come in at the waist. They fit better on me. 

Most of my outerwear closet is women's clothes.  I can wear just about anything in women's small.  Winter coats are much warmer when they fit well.

Title: Re: What's your wardrobe status?
Post by: Katie Jade on September 06, 2018, 05:31:50 PM
About 15% male cis stuff, all getting quite tattered. Keeping the black no arm rocker t-shirts though - look a lot better with Bra showing (and etc..) and looser... (Rock chick at heart I think)...
Only girl stuff has been bought in the last 2 years now.
And soon will need to make room in wardrobe for more so boy stuff will move elsewhere, and about time - its dull and boring..

My closet looks like Jack and Jill share it. One side male clothes and the other female. I present male during the day and female most nights. My girl clothes definitely outnumber my boy clothes for sure. I have lots of cardigans to cover my manly arms. Oh and I'm obsessed with leggings. I try to buy a different colored pair every couple of weeks.
