How do/did you dress when you were in boy mode?

I used to dress pretty simple. Polo and t-shirts with jeans or khakis.

Nowadays, its a mix of nice tops, skirts, dresses, jeans, capris, shorts, slacks, etc. and always heels of course

[Annah]

oh i dressed very androgynous. If there was any hint of masculinity in the outfit, i wouldn't wear it. The one feminine thing I will not wear are heels. I can't stand em.

If I do wear them it is because I HAVE to...like at a funeral or a wedding or something similiar. LOL, I view wearing heels as I did wearing ties!

i was pretty much the same as Annah. i just had a short haircut similar to justin bieber, and the only stuff i wore was plain, bland tshirts from mens area. i also wore sweatpants just about all the time, because men' jeans were not for me. i had a thing against jeans at the time. there was one set of clothes i would usually like most that was most androgynous, and i would wear it most often. presenting female is way better. i feel like i lived the lifestyle of prison when having to be male.

For me its not too dissimilar from me now......kind of relaxed, jeans, tops, trainers.....nothing too different!

I've never really liked looking like a slob, so unless I am staying inside, or working around the house, it's usually my uniform for work, or Jeans and a nice shirt or a fun T-shirt. But even my uniform is carefully put together. It's all dark blue with the company logo/ name in a lime green. I accent that with a green canvas belt that is pretty closely matched. I'm the only one who has one, so I kind of stand out for my fashion sense

Hi,
Before I transitioned I was an engineer in outside sales and would have to wear a jacket and tie. But my business territory started 60 miles away from my house so I would always pack a small carryon with me. So after my calls were made for the day, I had several places mapped out where I could change for the ride home. I just did what I had to do & I survived.

Mostly T-shirts and jeans or something like that. I don't really pay attention to my male clothes, they are just something to cover my body.

I used to wear girls jeans and girls T shirts and trainers in boy mode years before transition. I always liked to confuse people and girls jeans always fitted me better!

[Lyric]

I've always leaned toward longer and more feminine hairstyles and often ambiguous clothing styles. Since I was a teen I've often worn tight jeans more like a girl might wear. I always found it easy to find surprisingly feminine shirts in the young men's departments-- tight knits, wide necks, bright colors and such. This actually made it easy for friends to adjust when I started wearing things like makeup, bras and dresses publicly. They were like "Yea. This makes sense".

jeans t-shirt , polo
liked to blend in
Khaki pants.

Often a little scruffy
Never any baggy stuff . No subculture stuff like goth etc

Girl mode I would:
still try to blend in somewhat
Appropriate for my age
I would probably be on the jeans line on the other side 90% of the time.

I am not really interested in fashion but I have noticed womens fashion has been going a little more to the feminine side over time. I think it swings back and forth. And everything had been long going to the other direction for a while. Tho I am happy the clothing is more feasible than what it was in the 1800s

Girl jeans would have always fit me better.  Levi's were cut for that incredibly tiny male butt so I could NEVER find a pair that fit right.  However, my parents are very conservative and my mom was known to take me into her and dad's bedroom for a "talk" (screaming at) if she noticed anything feminine on me.

As a result, I always dressed baggy to hide any semblance of my relatively feminine shape.

So for the last, oh, 5 years I had been rotating my 3 pairs of boot cut jeans (3-4 waist sizes too large so they'd fit my hips).  On top I would wear a medium sized t-shirt with a large button-up shirt on top, with 3 or 4 buttons buttoned.  This effectively hid my breasts for the last year+ since I started hormones.

Shoes were plain old new balance running shoes.

All this worked at both home and at work since work is business casual and allows jeans, but now I'm going to be officially full-time as soon as I go back to work so I can start branching out.  I'm going to start off with conservative/androgynous women's clothing at work because I work with a lot of conservative christian types and don't want to push my luck right off the bat.

I still am in it but I wear skinny jeans, converse shoes, flannel shirts, cardigans+shirts from H&M. Pretty much typical indie/hipster stuff.
