Clothing ideas for guys with tiny frames?
I can wear girl-cut shirts and look like a total flamer, but everything else makes me look like a little kid.
Any suggestions? I'm open to just about anything at this point. Especially if it's warm. :laugh:
Boys department. I guess it would depend on your size.

If you're like me, you just wear women's clothes (eh heh). However, since you probably don't want to crossdress much, you can plain shirts from the boy's department and decorate, or make your own clothes, or search the thrift store (weird sizes, and "women's" clothes that look like men's clothes)
Well you can try what I do and wear a loose button-up shirt over your clothes (open.)
It's kind of warm but hard to find a shirt in the right size.
Two birds with one stone.
You want to appear to be "bigger" and stay warm?
Dress in layers. I always found a light sweater or rugby style pull-over to be great.
Also mens shirts also have "thicker" fabric options.
As for pants. Light-weight cords work well.
Also by looking at womens fashion it seems that flannel might be coming back as well. Dont know if that trend carries over to male clothing.
Teen boy section worked for me for a while. Size 18 that way you don't look like you are 12. Layering is definitely the way to go for warmth. You can always do a long sleeve shirt with a long sleeve or dressier shirt over it.

Boys' section is good, if you can find shirts without superheroes on them. Though I will admit, I have gone shopping in the boys' section just for the Spidey shirts ;)
Some of those stores that carry 'trendy' brand-name clothing (Buckle, PacSun, A&F) have guys clothes that run pretty darn small. I think the point is that the shirts (T-shirts especially) are excessively small to show off muscle-bound physiques. Or something. But it works well for smaller guys just looking for a regular shirt that actually fits and isn't made for kids.
And never underestimate the wonders of buying a small cotton shirt (that's still too big) and throwing it in the dryer on hot.
The boy's department is a good idea as they said. Man I wish I was smaller - I have to go to plus size in MEN'S! Most of my big stuff is in my shoulders (they're huge). Plus, my shoe size in men's is 10.
Good luck :)

An FTM who wishes he had smaller shoulders? Amazing.

You should see them! I literally rip shirts at the neck and sleeve where I try to wear something too small for me. I ripped a Pink Floyd shirt that was an XL so I said to myself "it's time to wear 2x". Now I'm in between a 2 and 3xl in shirts (so is my brother).

Well I can't really empathize with you but I'm sure it's a hassle.
