T-shirts are cool. Just be careful with the neckline or it wont look andro. Jumpers too can be nice especially in winter obv. Shoes too, get yourself some nice shoes, like feminine-ish or unisex ones. I bought some converse for the hipster skinny jeans look ;) . It is really easy to be dressed in 100% female or andro clothing and still not look particularly unusual. It is nice though cause you know what you are wearing even if to others it is a kinda male look.

Plus then when you are more out you got a bunch of clothes that you can wear differently for a more female style.

Thank you Ashey, Seras and Dana! All of this is excellent advice. I do have some v necks but they aren't womens which would make me feel better :-\ Dana where can I find those 505's they look great! Ashey you're so lucky, I wish I got called maam! Seras could you give me an example of more feminine shoes? I was thinking of getting some sperrys.

Well like I said I bought myself some Converse recently they are ok, they are real comfy and warm cause I got the ones with like sheepskin type bit inside. Not particularly male or female but they go well with skinny jeans and a lot of girls wear them so works for the look.

Some of those Sperrys look quite nice. Some of them look kinda old person shoes and not my style but I really like some of them. Like these ones from the UK site:
Women's Authentic Original Hoxton Boot
http://en.sperrytopsider.co.uk/commonimages/sperry/700x700/9267048_1_700x700.jpg

They look real nice! I might even get them now I saw them if they have my size. Expensive, like $200, though  >:(

I like boot type shoes so long as they are not too high above the ankle and no not have heels then they can be cross dressed quite easily I think most of the time, depending on the style of course.
Or you can just grab some trainers or skate shoes you know, they are just like guys but normally nicer colours or whatever. So long as you do not get them in like bright pink or something then who is gonna say anything.

When your at the stage it sounds like you are now (I am not far ahead!) I think you just have to find something you like but will not "blow your cover" too much (especially with your parents giving you this grief). So just find something you like and buy it!

OK, I know this may sound weird, but it's what I did when I was young and still at school...

Sure I didn't have of my own clothes but my mother and sister had wardrobes full of the stuff.  ;D And yes, their taste didn't much meet mine and nor did all of it fit, but for wearing about the house while they were out it didn't much matter. Never kept anything and made sure everything went back as I found it. Never got sprung...

Skirts  are pretty common amongst the fashionable young guys in my city. Also, really long tees that are basically just dresses. I'm not talking goth guys either, just fashionable guys in their late teens/early twenties. Honestly, New Zealand fashion has been very andro for about 15 years. Look into kiwi labels like NomD, Company of Strangers, Zambezi, Soma... There are heaps of them, plus NZ fashion labels are cool, that will mean you're cool for wearing them :p

I've been wearing panties almost every day (wear boxers over them at work). Also got some boot cut jeans off amazon that aren't overtly feminine, not a fan of the tiny pockets though used to putting stuff in my pockets :(. The thing I like with the jeans is I got some cute wedges in black and the jeans just cover the wedge part so I've been wearing them out! Also I'm in the process of switching over to all girls socks and tee shirts. The little things I can do make me happy lol.

Nobody has mentioned vans? Vans are a unisex shoe, that have a men and womens size listed under every tongue and they come in every color. As for jeans, American eagle has the best skinny jeans. All in stretch denim so they are super comfy. Get a darker color so you can wear them without hassle but still feel girly. Definitely go for skinny jeans! I'm in the air force and out of uniform I only own and wear women's jeans, it's all about confidence. Sure some people have given me crap for it but they don't matter. Wear what makes you happy, being able to express femininity is an empowering feeling.. don't miss out on that because of people that don't matter.

  I am relatively new to owning any feminine clothing whatsoever. I have six pairs of panties to call my own but that is it, other than that it's strictly male clothing(blechh!)  For those of you who haven't read any of my other posts, I am in high school and I've tried to come out to my parents but they don't believe me and say that it's just hormones and that I'm not sure of what I'm feeling so it's difficult for me to do much without being made fun of or losing friends or getting grounded by my parents(which has happened because I shaved my legs). Most of the time I desperately feel like I should have been born a girl. Does anybody know of ways that I can feel more feminine and feminine clothes that I could possibly upgrade my male waredrobe with?
Kisses,

I feel your pain sweetie, your panties are a good start and the tights/hold-ups/stockings are all easily hidden under other clothes.  Shoes are a fun grey area, your parents probably wouldnt know the difference between male/female trainers and some winter boots can easily pass both ways. 

Body hair is a big thing for me too, I have shaven my body hair since I began growing it (loong time ago :) and a couple of years ago I progressed onto an epilator which hurts like all the pits of hell but is SOOO worth it as you will be smooth for weeks and it grows back finer than if it is shaven.

What do you do with your hair? Long hair can be worn in a masculine mode when around your parents around and easily restyled into a feminine shape when they aren't.

Try accessorising too, matching hats gloves and scarves etc.

Find a shoulder bag/handbag that you can pass off as a courier bag type for your parents. Girls socks are different to guys believe it or not, so there is another way round it.

But the biggest piece of advice I can give is if you really feel this way see if you can get your parents to think seeing a therapist might help you, any good therapist will see how you are suffering in this ill fitting male role and hopefully help your parents accept it instead of 'curing' you

Thank you for all your support ladies! :) I like vans and have owned a couple of pairs before.

  I don't know about where you are but tights under pants are a matter of survival for me in the sudden severe cold snap here!  When wearing a skirt the fleece-lined tights are great but I realize you're not going so 'exposed' yet.

I think I might try to get some cute tops and maybe get some ladies jeans ;D Does anybody have any suggestions?

Untill you find something you really like, id just recommend Leevi's from walmart, cheap and not to expensive till you find a style/cut you like.

Look for an androgynouswardrobe, grow out that hair and get into some girly things. Also try and reach out to your local lgbt center and they can definitely help find a therapist and even a doctor to go to. Trust me parents can be tricky but if they truly love you they will learn to accept and love the new you. Oh yeah look at some '70's and '80's rockers especially David Bowie, it was a very androgynous scene back then.
