Generally, snug looks much better on me, both tops and pants. However, I prefer flared skirts and dress bottoms. The flare really helps give the illusion of a waist because I have narrow hips and am long-waisted.
Pants I like skinny, because I have good looking legs (so people say). Tops can be a little wider, because my upper torso has not the shape that I would like to have.
Snug fits well on me usually. Only really baggy clothes I have are my hoodies for lounging around the house

Snug and form-fitting whenever possible. I have always had hips and a well-defined waist. In my case, making my shape readily apparent helps make it more obvious that I am a woman. I hate having to wear heavy coats in winter because they hide so much, although I had no gendering issues wearing a parka on a shopping trip in downtown Denver yesterday.

Do you have a packable down jacket for winter? I bought two. I have a Calvin Klein long one and a shorter Michael Kors one. They're light weight and super warm still. They hug me a little more than a traditional heavy coat so they show off my figure a little

Unfortunately I don't have a packable down jacket. I have fairly long arms (used to wear 15 1/2 x 34 shirts). Just about everything I try on has sleeves about 2 - 3 inches too short. I feel lucky to have found a parka with long enough sleeves. I will check them out though, maybe I can find some with really long sleeves. Thanks!
It would be nice if a company would cater to Trans women and the struggles some of us have with fitting clothes! I hope you can find something! TJ maxx has been a lifesaver for coats lol

Coats or jackets with a inner or outer drawstring to draw in the waist, or a belt, can accentuate the figure.

I've been altering my clothes to fit snugly. I can now turn a men's T shirt into a fitted women's shirt! And resew the shoulders if I necessary.

Great! Can I hire you? I could do some welding for you in return!
Snug and close fitting, is my preference for the waist down. Skinny jeans rule.
For the top, I like both. I always feel more feminine if my top is snug, but I still like wearing a loose flowing blouse.
Sorry, doing it professionally would take all the fun out of it.
I even do my own silver brazing. Though if the heating system needs work I let the pros handle that. ;D

Trade you, I look after the heating system and do your welding????
Definitely more snug fitting.

Skinny jeans are my go to! I love the way my legs and butt look in them, and they make me feel confident. I feel baggier clothes don't do enough to show my "curves". I don't really wear dresses or skirts, but enjoy well fitting shirts.

Prefer loose fitting, strictly semi-formal male attire
. . . especially when asleep on lazy-boy by the front door! ;D ;)
I like skinny jeans/leggings, because I have darn good looking legs, the top needs to be a little wider because I still have that muffin top look, and am rather big chested (rib cage, not boobs). Once I lost the 20 lbs I ope I will loose, I can go with tighter stuff (I hope)

Looks cozy Kofer (and Welcome!) can't beat the color choices and price! For women's wear I really like Duluth Trading although very expensive. Their Fleece Jackets and "dry-on-the-fly" slacks are super warm, lightweight and make cross-femme dressing easy, been trying to stay away from denim and blue-jeans their cotton button-down shirts are great, flared at the hips@

Because of the fact that my body seems to be shaped in a way which allows me to wear clothing that is readily available in stores, I just buy stuff that is on sale. This way I can try it on and see how I like it/it looks on me. Mail Order clothing is way to big of a hussle, if one does not like what one got and needs to return it.
I like looser clothing as compared to tighter, as this seems to be more comfortable.
The "package" might cause issues if I did not tuck or if I wore really tight clothes down there.

I'm as snug as a bug with no rug. ;)

Your body just has to get enough female hormones, and the "package" hides itself (makes it almost impossible to use a urinal). I can wear as tight of any leggings as I want, just have to wear snug fitting underwear underneath. I am sure you will get there, too!
Tight clothing just feels nice. Always seem odd to me that standard comfy loungewear and pyjamas as so loose, when I'd want the opposite (given that no-one can see me then anyway).
I'm still presenting male. I deliberately wore clothes that masked my body, because I was ashamed of it (for me, slim jeans still look baggy!). In just the past few weeks, I've discovered skinny jeans, slim fit t-shirts and cotton roll-necks (as an underlayer). These don't change what's underneath, but it's like discovering clothes that fit for the first time. Definitely going to add more along these lines.
Has the side benefit of shifting a little more unisex, and roll-neck jumpers might be a fairly easy intro to buying women's clothing.
I prefer tighter fitting but there's no doubt some of my things are too tight. I have some tops where my nips show even through a camisole and the top. Can't say I care for that.

I travel light. :laugh:
Pretty soon, I'll be a light traveller, too!
Tighter pants sure shows off the figure more. It is almost like a second layer of skin!

I like to wear leggings or tight fitting pans, because I think I have pretty good looking legs.
I like both. I'm mostly a fan of loose top tight bottom. Or tight bottom, loose top. There has to be a balance.
I wore some stretch jeans all day today, tighter clothing than what I usually wear for sure.
I liked the look and feel actually, except for the pressure in the front crotch when I sat down rather than standing or walking. But I think I will go back to my looser clothes.
The male stuff down there was pressured and well, it looked like a bulge. That was uncomfortable. My guy stuff is definitely in the way. Ugh and ugly! With looser pants or shorts, or when wearing a skirt or skort, that guy stuff down there is much harder to notice, although I know it is there.
I did like the look as I have some more roundness now in the thighs, without any weight gain. :)
Maybe if I had curves, and no male stuff there, I would wear pants like this more often. Plus everything must go into my purse with this look and snugness. Maybe my telephone can be in a pocket sometimes. :)

I usually look for something in-between. High waisted flowy skirt, office type blouse with some kind of collar thing going on to draw attention from my shoulders. Cardigan. Maybe just a dress. Or a tank / cami and a skirt. I don't really like pants for some reason.
