In the beginning I kept my old blue jeans and T-shirts for working around the yard, oil changes, etc.
Nowadays I have one item left: my Army field jacket. I wear it every year for Veterans Day, Remembrance Day, whatever the local military observance is.
Have you kept any of your old male or female clothing?
Hugs, Devlyn

Once I accepted who I was, I went on a field day throughout my house. I threw everything out including all my military uniforms. I had a set of deress whites and blues set aside. But I decided above all my clothes I had that these were the ones that I had to get rid of last. I did keep 1 pair of jeans, tshirt sneakers though. Not sure why. But I also spent that entire week cleaning out my house and threw all my memories of my past away except a few that I could not part with. Mostly because I intend on relocating in the future and did not want to drag them with me. I promised myself that I would never return to my previous male wardrobe again.

Same here. They are more durable, and mining is rough on clothes. I also still have four pair of flannel-lined jeans for cold weather prospecting, as well as a heavy jacket.

I've been slowly purging my wardrobe. I get to spend weekends with my 10 year old son, and this past weekend, he asked why I've been wearing the same clothes all the time. ;D

I don't mind keeping working clothes, for out of doors chores and vehicle maintenance. I don't have mens undies but I do have my favorite 501s. I still have my seabag packed, less boon dockers, underwear and socks. Don't intend on getting rid of it.

I got rid of my male clothing in my 3rd month of my transition once I started living and dressing as female

I have some. I choose to present as male when I think it is wise to do so.
That may not make sense as a woman to do so. But it is likely good for me at least for those few times.
I still do this when traveling, for getting through security and car rentals.

I dress for traveling comfort. No sweat suits and flip flops. Ugh!
Travel for me is always slacks or jeans, a polo or button up with light jacket. Androgenous but femme not flashy and but my hair, jewelry and makeup are always appropriate.
