I want to know your opinion of wearing female clothes as male ("male mode")
For example I now have this embloided jeans (just decent), common male tshirt and if I will see any nice shoes I'll buy and wear it

I don't see anything wrong with it, but I know others think it's a little odd.
My friend once saw a guy wearing women's bedazzled jeans and thought it was funny. She wasn't hostile or anything, she just had a laugh over it because he was a manly looking guy by her description. Who knows what his gender presentation really was, but people do pick that sort of thing out.

Every muscled douchebag wears Affliction t's.  Metallic patterns and Ed Hardy flowery flowing prints.  Embroidered metallic Fleur-D-Lise's, bracelets, belts with metal studs.   Then the hipsters wear girl's skinny jeans, peacoat sweaters, girl's glasses.  There is hardly any male or female clothes at this point.  It's not uncommon to see men with two earrings etc. etc.

When I started doing my brows and wearing lip gloss every day, girl's shirts and cardigans and a fat yellow bracelet..I was worried about people's reactions.  I got things like "you look great" and "I like your style."

I think M2F transsexuals can sometimes put way more value on the gendering of clothing.  Girls clothes are forbidden and taboo for so long...   Break that stuff down...it doesn't matter. 

I now shop in either section.  I grab men and women's fashion magazines.  I started liking loose ties all of a sudden.  Dressing nice and freedom is amazing.

I'm more and more convinced that the thing that determines whether what you're wearing is a big deal is how you wear it.  Like japple says, it's not at all rare to see... shall we say fashion forward alpha males wearing lip gloss or sparkly pants.  Most people don't think twice about it because that character isn't incongruous with that outfit.  Those pants, for instance, seem like they would just look like well embellished jeans unless you go out of your way to worry about it.  When that happens, and you become uncomfortable with it, people will notice something is off and begin looking for the incongruities.

So wear your awesome jeans!  I'm jealous!

Yeah, japple's definitely right. One of my best friends is this huge, badass tattooed guy and he's always wearing those shiny-ass jeans. Especially nowadays, gender-specific clothing is getting to be a smaller and smaller group. The only thing I'd really say avoid is skirts and swishy fabric. And heels, obviously. Unless you want to crossdress and then damnit, go for it. My absolute best friend wears girl jeans all the time and half the time people don't even notice.

Personally, I'm more comfortable in girl's jeans because they fit me a bit better and they've got stretch to them, and no one's noticed yet.

Dil hit the nail on the head, if you are comfortable with that look, no one will care. People NOTICE when you are self conscious about anything.. I was dressing VERY andro to being quite feminine before I decided to finally just do it and change my gender so anything is possible.

the easyest item to get away with is jeans, alot of non trans male like to wear jeans that was cut for women.
alot of males perfer since it fits better, dosent look out of place depending on the cut

started out very andro and slowly moved along the scale as i gotten used to them, or waiting till the HRT gives off enough changes. what you dont want to do is be out of scale and look out of place

large fram girl glasses helps alot if your face isnt full enoguh

Japple's right, Medusa. Don't sweat it. Most people couldn't care less what kind of jeans you're wearing anyway. I've been wearing womens jeans for years. It's no big deal.

It sounds like you may be making the same womens fashion mistake I did, however. When I first started buying womenswear I would grab any cool item or great buy I saw. In no time I had a closet full of not too well matched or varied attire. The best advice I can give is to pick a celeb or model  (or 2-3) with a look that's at least somewhat like you (or with a look you want want and have a shot at). Then try to buy/assemble entire looks that capture what you like about those looks. I call it the "Look for Less" game, if you ever saw the old Style Channel show. Those people have professional stylists dressing them, so why not take advantage of their expertise. Anyway, your better off if you think in terms of entire looks and not individual items.

alot of my club pants are girls, have been for years (long before I ever gave the dream of being a girl any serious thought), as long as you're not really showing skin/buttcrack no one will probably even noitce.
NOT out
NOT on hormones

Just go for it...

I like the way I look in my avatar. Not too feminine, but just enough for me :)

I love skirts, but haven't yet figured out how I could wear them daily on male mode too.

Not odd at all. All those skateboard boys go to stores like Dots to buy female skinny jeans because they are way better than anything made for men.

Tell you the truth, I wore female shorts for a couple months before I came out. :D

(People noticed, but to hell with them... mostly people probably thought that I just accidentally bought the "wrong gender" shorts)

I wear women's jeans and short all the time now, some embroider just like in the picture, and have never been questioned about them. Same with the short shaved legs and all !
