So i still present as male for now, especially with the new job and super short hair. I had an accident while getting it cut a while back and finally evened everything out. Im wondering tho is it at all possible to wear womens jeans and still pull off a gender neutral appearance? Ill only have this problem until i get my uniforms because they are all the same pants and shirts regardless of gender, but that 90 days of possibly having to go with guys pants just doesn't help my brain in the slightest.
Thanks
Kari.
Its very easy to wear women's jeans and get away with it. I do it all the time. But if you want a gender neutral appearance, I would avoid tight, skinny style. Go slightly loose. I frequently wear Levi's women's jeans and no one is wiser.
I wore women's jeans all through high school, alternating with vintage 501s. Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt... it was the 80's. Little things like that help alleviate the dysphoria. People just thought I was a fearless queer male.
I don't think the jeans would be an issue. It may depend on what top you wear with it to a point.
I read an interview with Metallica were they talked about wearing women's jeans. Congrats on the job!
Yep... you can definitely wear women's jeans and still present as male. In fact, it's actually kind of "in" right now...
What shirts you wear are WAY more important for gender determination. I've been wearing women's jeans on and off in my "guy mode" for the last 8 months or so, including for the last 3 months straight, but I still get "sir"ed with pretty much no hesitation from people whatsoever if I'm wearing a men's shirt to go with them. While if I'm wearing a more body-hugging androgynous shirt to go with them, people tend to just avoid gendering me altogether.
Before full time I did a few years of working retail while wearing women's clothing.
Women's jeans are the easiest. Just don't get to much bling, or too low a rise. You can also wear women's t-shirts, sneakers, and sweaters. You could also try earrings(hoops or studs), and a black a black purse.
I could go out completely in women's clothing, with no one the wiser. As I got bolder, I started painting my nails, using lip gloss, and adding jewellery. Still, no one said a word, but they must have started noticing something.
Just before going full time. I was at a wedding, wearing black ballet flats, dress pants, a black transparent shirt with a cami underneath, and my diamond wedding set. In the receiving line the bride looked me over (long time friend that did not know about my gender issues), and said 'You look pretty'. I guess you can go too far.
It's not a problem. I did it for a long time. Except one time a women standing behind me in the check out lane tried to tell me a way to lose the fat around my hips.
