Title: Low cut shirts and binders
Post by: Nygeel on January 02, 2013, 06:03:57 PM
Helllooooooo all! Hope you had a great holiday season and a safe new year celebration!

I recently started wearing low cut shirts with the intentions of showing off chest hair. I figure that a low cut shirt with chest hair poking out would get me seen as male more so than a higher necked collar. But, the thing is that a lot of the time binders are cut much higher to compress your chest better. Somehow, and I'm not sure if it's because my binder is older or if it's just the shape but somehow I'm able to wear my 997 with some really low cut shirts. So, how low can you go? And how low is "appropriate?"

Not a very low cut V neck:

A little bit lower now:

Even lower:

Also, anybody know if the LLB V neck binders are cut that low?

Never worn a V neck in my life. The closest I get is probably a polo with two buttons undone. Just wanted to say in the second photo you pass really well. I think it may be your hair being cut shorter that helps. It accents your face better and shows your hairline in a more masculine manner.

I think how low you can go depends on how you want to present yourself. I think gay guys can get away with lower V-necks than a guy who wants to present as a straight man.

You look good. I think go as low as you can without showing the binder. I agree about your hair in the second picture. I really like it. I wish I could wear V necks. I'm just too big chested for them.

I've tried to find LLB binders that are low cut, but to no avail. It looks like whatever your wearing currently though is doing a good job.
