Help!! clothing and body.

[Jessica/Jake]

I  have taken big strides in my appearance to make myself look more like a boy. My hair is now cut in a boy style, I have stored all my girl clothes away,  I am working on saving money to get binders, and I am working on losing weight to hide my feminine figure. Does anyone have any good tips on clothes, fast ways to lose the feminine figure, or anything that could help me look more like a boy. I would appreciate any and all input because I want to look like a boy before August 20th which will be the week I order all my binders and when I go out shopping for my new clothes.
I would appreciate any tips and any kind of helpful websites for passing I have a idea of what I should be buying but I'm not sure.

Thanks

guys tend to wear darker color shirts with graphics like a skull or something along those lines, shorts are past the knees and lose fitting jeans. if you cant figure out what type of shoes to wear, play it safe and just get combat boots

baggy clothes

This is interesting. Having dressed as a male for a great deal of my life, I've never considered it as any effort to dress as a male, but I suppose it can be. Generally, male clothing tends to be looser and bulkier looking than female things. Sleeveless tops are rare for males. If you have widish hips and narrowish shoulders, try to wear darker colored pants with lighter shirts. Remember that horizontal lines visually add width while vertical lines narrow your look. Carry things in your pockets-- never in a bag of any kind.

About the only frequent mistake I see FTMs doing is making their look a bit too deliberate. Don't try to look like like your favorite rapper or whatever. You rarely see guys on the street who look like that. Walk through Home Depot on a Saturday and you'll see what average guys really look like. If you really want to "pass" you'll keep your look toned down and not too obviously coordinated.

I think the easiest method is usually the best. All my life as a guy I never put "effort" into dressing. Put a bunch of tshirts into a drawer/bag ( not necessarily folded) pull out a random one each morning along with either a pair of jeans or random pair of cargo shorts. (I will check that the shirt color isn't the exact same as the jeans/shorts, but otherwise anything goes)

And yeah looser clothes are a safe choice too. In women's sizes I think I wear an extra small top, but I used to wear a size Large men's tshirt. (With the occasional medium.

Once you get the lazy male look down,  then start looking into the nicer/sharper styles.

As someone cursed with curvy hips, I have to say that baggy clothes really help!! I pass as a guy when I wear loose boyish clothing. My only issue is those lumps on my chest...I'm waiting for my binders to arrive in the mail sometime this month. If you want to get a wardrobe without spending too much, you may also want to raid your male friends and family members' closets. Ask them if they have anything they don't want anymore, and see if you find anything you like! Though I may warn you: from my experience, much of their clothes end up with rips and holes here and there. Another alternative would be to visit flea markets or second-hand shops. They usually have a variety of clothes, and you may find a gem hidden in there that someone else didn't want anymore. One's trash is another's treasure.

Oh! And to make sure you get the right size for you, you may want to take your measurements. With your binder on (once you get one), ideally. There are plenty of size converters from FtM and likewise online, so you can figure out your fit from there.

Good luck!
