Hiding chest and figure?!

So, I've got yet another problem -.-
Right now I'm inbetween sizes, and it's driving me crazy. I fit a men's XS nicely but not on my hips. A small is ok but the arms and shoulders are a tiny but spacey. A medium is ok but too baggy.
I just got a polo shirt and I love it, but the only size that fit me was a small. It fits great, super comfy and I love how it looks BUT it shows my figure and anything abnormal looking on my chest.
I've got the most horrible super feminine figure, it's so hard to hide, and a massive chest, but I don't want to wear massive clothes for years.
So is there any way to hide feminine body features? I already wear a binder and I'm working on a getting a smaller sized one that's a full body thing, but I don't think that'll help loads with my figure and hips.

Any advice / products / protips? :/

Men tend to wear baggier clothing so maybe go with loose garments. A trans guy friend of mine wears baggy tees or an unbuttoned shirt over a baggy tee. He has large breasts and wide hips but it usually does the trick.

I do wear loose clothes, but like so loose I drown in them. Make me look huge :/

Good idea though, never thought of that  ;D

I've found that with a lot of shirts something as simple as tucking them in gives me a sort of square shape that I love. I've got fairly horrible hips myself and it's hard to find men's jeans that fit when they expect your hips to be smaller or equal to your waist. I found some at Wal-Mart I really like though, they're slim fit straight leg low rise or some such and they both fit well and look masculine. Also cargo pants. Particularly when paired with a tee shirt that doesn't hug the figure. And I really love  those button ups with the things on the shoulders, not sure what they're called but it's like a strip of fabric with a button? Anyway I feel like they make my shoulders stick out more. Plus they're cool lol. But polos are the bane of ny existence because I can't ever find one that fits right. They're either too tight and show off the figure too much an  draw attention to how scrawny my arms are or too loose so I feel like a kid playing dress up.
