As a MTF, do you enjoy a feminine look or a more androgynous appearance?

I am clearly enjoying femininity, except those times I think it is wise to still present otherwise.  I do not go overboard though, I simply enjoy having my female lifestyle and appearance that is appropriate for my age and situation.  It is nice to be treated in good ways, just like other women.

Great question. I'm also MTF and the more feminine the better, ideally. Although realistically, I have other looks depending on the situation!

Definitely feminine.  When considering purchasing an item of clothing, one of the questions I ask myself is, "Would a man ever wear this?"  If the answer is yes, I don't want it.  If it is no, then I am interested.

I look feminine regardless of clothing. I don't really worry about whether or not the clothing item itself looks feminine. If I like it, I wear it.

Both I suspect - It depends on the day. There are certain things that are must haves for my feminine side, ear rings, nails (currently red French tipped) and a nice comfy top with sorts. I have also been sporting a t-shirt dress. Most of my clothes are feminine and the t-shirts are androgynous. Does this help?

Total androgyny. I live in cotton comfort. The advantage of my indifference to my appearance is that if do something extraordinary like brushing my hair, people are so impressed.

Feminine, not "girly". I do not, in any way, shape or form, feel that I "missed out" on dressing up or wearing anything that I need to make up for now... so in building my wardrobe it's really just been age appropriate stuff in which I feel comfortable.

I do think in the last month or so it's gotten a bit more feminine, but that's just as I've gotten more comfortable in my own skin.

I will brush my hair daily (I don't have the luxury of not doing so, O&C -- that's something I miss a bit!) and I have started to wear a bit of makeup. Mascara for occasions (a nice dinner, the theater, etc), and lips most days when doing public-facing events.

I do think it is important to brush your hair, eat reasonably, watch out for overall health and wellbeing, maintain proper hygiene, and to be presentable without having to make a "presentation" to attract attention.

I bet you look quite nice O&C, you just do not want to make any fuss.

I look okey-dokey, Chrissy. Just another old lady riding Life's bus. Like many old ladies, I am so comfy.

I vote with Kathy! I won't buy anything marketed as 'men's' (even socks). I also avoid 'unisex' clothing whenever possible. I treat the 'men's department' like a minefield or radioactive zone and try to stay as far away as possible.

I prefer feminine. The only men's clothing or even androgynous clothing I own is my "mining grubbies". Men's jeans, leather boots, and lined flannel shirts. They seem to be more durable than women's clothing and mining is very rough on outerwear. And its purpose is to protect my skin, not make me look good. I would be heartbroken if I ripped a hole in my designer jeans (even though that's the latest fad).

Feminine as it makes it far easier to socialize.
When I wear heels in grocery stores folks politely get out of the way for me.
I get around really well in them.

Even though I am not completely out, I do prefer to be feminine.  When I do go full-time, my work uniform will be just what I wear today.  I hope it will be a little more curvy, but the name tag will say Gwen.  That is a day to which I am looking forward.

For out side of work, I am building a feminine wardrobe in anticipation of my coming out to full-time day.

I find that just with putting my hair in a ponytail or something else I'm able to bring out my feminine features that way and people are starting to look.

I switched from ponytails to pigtails as it makes me look more feminine!
It is long and curly.

I'd like say I'm not vain, but I'd be lying.

I'm such a mix these days.  At an age where comfort and dealing with the vagaries of the weather is more important.  My jeans come from Torrid (Make my bum look good), my undies (unseen by those who needn't see them) mostly from Glamorize [front clip c ups, 2XL panties] or Kohl's and misc. online shops, my tops from Torrid or souvenir sweatshirts/T's mostly androgenous.  I'm plus sized so where most clothes are for below size 12, my 16-25 aren't the most flattering.

I look at some of my earlier transition clothes and they were definitely more of an acrogenous nature. The further along the more feminine they became.

I like looking like a woman.  Would be weird if I did not as I am a woman.

Wish I looked like a very pretty woman.

But, I am okay as I am.

Feminine Look, I am a girly girl.

I enjoy and love using make-up and perfume. I have long hair, have long nails (love getting my nails done), I love wearing dresses, skirts, pantyhose, cute earrings  and heels (The higher the better)

I also have way too many pairs of shoes and love shopping

I have 5 very feminine tattoos on my body, they help to enhance my feminine appearance.

The one girly girl thing, I am not that into, is the color pink. I have very few pink items of clothing, but I will admit as time has gone on, I do now sometimes wear pink nail polish on my toes (A wear a dust pink or dusty rose color). Also now, one of my fav date night underwear is a little pink panty and bra set, my husband loves it when I wear it.

I have a girly tan that makes it obvious that I were feminine clothes all the time!
