Title: Passing in the summer
Post by: icontact on January 19, 2009, 02:13:39 PM
So maybe it's still only January, but around here, we're getting up into spring/summer temperatures already somehow. I really don't feel like putting up with the ->-bleeped-<- I'd get by just going ahead and buzzing my hair anyways, so I guess the most that I can do I just amp up the wardrobe and hope it'll be enough.

Was wondering what are some stereotypical male clothing/accessory items that show up a lot during summer?


Oh. And are there any non-T ways to increase hair growth? More hair on the legs/arms would be very helpful. :)

if you wear flipflops/thongs, dont wear the foam old navy ones, get some canvas and leather ones or something.  lol  and youre on the coast, so im positive that your fashion is a little ahead of kansas.  everything starts on the coasts and works inward.

Go to where the people you want to fit in with are, look at what they are wearing, and buy the same stuff.  Plaid pants, for reasons I'm not sure of, seem to be huge right now, or skater shorts with hoodies.

don't wear flip flops if you have tiny feet.  it'll only make them look smaller.

ya i agree with the canvas or leather flip flops. plaid shorts are good too. i see some guys wearing those shell-like necklaces, idk how to describe them you've prob seen em, they seem summer-like to me tho haha. t shirts for sure. oh and super jealous of you having warm temperatures, we just got like 8 inches of snow yesterday  >:(

You cannot go wrong with cargo shorts.  They are great at hiding thighs and those pockets look masculine.  As for shirts, polos are a good choice, but even better are patterned short-sleeve buttonup shirts left open with a tshirt underneath (layers that help hide the freakbags).

Pre-T leg/arm hair is tricky.  Hair growth pre-T, at least for me personally, is not as thick as it should be so looks funny.  Luckly I like to work out and try to stay involved in sports so having shaved legs is nothing new or out of the ordinary.  A lot of guys who are really into working out or MMA (since that is the new rage/fad) try to keep their body hair to a min.   When I wear shorts, I still get the "Sir" a lot.  Its mostly about how you dress and carry yourself from what I have seen, especially if you have the stereotypical male walk as one of my old friends told me.   She said I walk like I am about to kick somebody butt. 


As for clothes, like the above posters.  Cargo shorts!   I love them.  I tend to wear them with t-shirts a lot.

I envy you! We are minus and raining!

Same as above I wear cargo shorts as soon as I see a glint of sun. All year round I am in Shorts..
hopefully by the summer I shall have  had my top surgery done so I shall be wearing tank tops!

w00t w00t!

But Cargo shorts, beads are good, I love beads but depending on the type they can make you
look fem. So I usually just wear them as bracelets. Sun glasses and hats are good too!

Yes. A hat. I need to get me a cool hat. Alas I have not the money for them. Any decent hat will run me about $25 at least. -sighs-
