Hii everyone! :)
Just curious how everyone dressed when you were in boy mode?
I just find this quite interesting due to stereotypes ect.
So how do you dress?  Normal,Metro, Goth ect?

This is how I dress :)
I'm not out yet, I'm not sure how to explain how I dress ect. I guess you would call it kind of metro. I usually wear tight fitted jeans (not skinny jeans), a bright V neak T-shirt, if it's cold a a hoddie without a zipm like a more fitted hoodie, usually Hitop shoes or just flat white canvas shoe and I always have my hair straightened with kind of a pushed over fringe ect.

  Normal, probably for a while yet.  I dress like a retiree, even though I was forcibly early retired.  Polo type shirt with jeans.  More formal when the time comes for it.

Just jeans and a t-shirt. I like to blend in to the crowd.

Boringly. Tee-shirt and jeans, and I rarely leave the house without wearing my black jacket, including Summer time.

I went through different phases in my earlier life but for the most part it was skate shoes, loose jeans and band shirts or skate brand shirts. The last year or so it was nothing but black polo shirts and black dress pants with dress shoes. It was what I wore to work but I just wore them all the time as I didn't want to have to think about it. If it was just around the house then band shirts and cargo pants or PJs. Blah so blah.

T-shirt and blue jeans, I did as little as possible for my appearance as I possibly could for most of my life.

Tracksuit bottoms, athletic shoe, and t-shirt if warm or hoodie otherwise. I had one jeans eventually at 22 to go along with a long sleeve shirt so that I had something to wear to places that ban tracksuits. I only started shopping for clothes after I started transitioning so there wasn't much to throw away. :D

I generally wear jeans and polo or button down shirts (pre-everything here) as it is easiest for me right now as a full-time caregiver to my wife who has ALS. When I was working, I pretty much wore the same shirts with khakis. Back when I worked in a more professional environment, I wore dress shirts and ties, which didn't bother me, though I longed to be able to wear outfits like the women I worked with did.
I see myself wearing more feminine clothing like skirts, dresses, cute shoes, pantyhose (fashion police be damned!) when I transition. I love the freedom women have in expressing themselves.

I usually wear collared tees and dress pants (closer to what women wear) and usually put on a sweater so no one can see the undergarments. I have not started HRT, but maybe in the near future. Though, I wish I could dress just like the girls do and express myself. But, limitations!!!

On a work day I wear a polo as an undershirt.  There's not really much choice of say for the rest of my wear. (I don't change outfits through the day, usually)
Off of a work day I wear a shirt I like and a pair of pants I like ^^  Sometimes I like to coordinate them, but its not really easy because I don't have a good variety of pants.
I used to wear this cheap but pretty necklace off work until it broke ;.; So I don't wear jewelery.  I don't wear a watch because my last one's batteries died, but I'll wear it on the left wrist upside down (at my work, it's usually easier to glance at the time with it that way.)

When I transition I plan to keep most of my boy clothes, because I think they're still good clothes.  I don't want to be wasteful about it... S:

This is what I did. What changed over the past year was the color and cut (pastels, v-necks mainly) of my boy shirts, and I switched over to girl pants. It was seamless

At work I was always issued a unisex uniform, not a problem.

I was considered "slightly goth" however I wasn't really I considered my body revolting and didn't take any joy in making it look good. I dressed like a leaper covering up my severely scarred body repulsed by the sight of it.
I wore all black clothing and it was extremely baggy like very large sweat-pants dark loose T-shirt and a very large black hoody often with the hood up. I had long hair worn loose tucked behind my ears. and heavy hiking boots.

I dress with jeans and large t-shirts, jackets always when the climate allows.

Reason: I am 3 months into hormones and people are beginning to have a hard time to tell if I am a boy or a girl. My body also is very different from what it was 3 months ago.
I have no name change yet of course, and haven't been out at work. So I have to hide these features for now.

Usually a band shirt and jeans or cargo pants... rarely combat boots, but normally my chuck taylors.

I guess if one were to put me and my dress style in a subculture, it would fit closer to the punk
subculture than anything else, as the local punk rock scene is what I grew up on.

Before college mostly band shirts and jeans.

During college it was mostly polos and jeans (and the jeans gradually got femmer towards the end :) )

For me I would say, hmm, the goth look, more or less. Any colour you like as long as it's black. Trousers, cargo pants, boots, shirts, t-shirts, ankle-length black leather trenchcoat when it's not too hot (and even occasionally when it is - boil in the bag human is an interesting feeling).  Although, if I really put my mind to it, I can pull off the Matrix reject look quite convincingly since when I'm out I'm usually in sunglasses unless it's night time.

Presently, my clothes are :

-3/4 pants (with pale or colourful designs) (3 pairs)
-Shorts (1)
-Men's t-shirts (all too big and faded, generally the "normal skater-ish style") (5)
-Very big men's jeans (too big, all bought when I weighed 50 more pounds) (3)
-Women's not-so-girly tight jeans (couldn't resist having some acceptably beautiful clothes, even though I look gay in them and lose them because I lack butt shape) (2)
-Women's not-so-girly skating shoes (they actually fit better, and NOTHING looked good in the guys' department) (1)
-Mens' pretty-girly black coat (1)

And for the colder days:
-Mens' too-big short boots (for the colder/wetter days) (1)
-Mens' just-hell-too-big snow boots (for winter storms) (1)
-Mens' too-big not-really-good-looking winter coat (2)
-Womens' fake pashmina scarf (one grey and one green ; love them, I can pass with them) (2)
-Womens' not-so-girly beanie (this was my first women's article :3) (1)
-Womens' really-worn-out grey wool mittens (1)

Back in the day (like... er... six months ago :laugh: ) it was usually just band shirts and jeans.  I was also fairly andro and wore makeup most of the time.  Kind of like this:



Oh, and most of my shirts were female size, but I never switched to skinny jeans until i went full-time.  Back in the days when I really tried to hide my trans identity, I dressed as boy rocker as I possibly could with my short, spiked hair, always in sunglasses, tight shirts with jackets, knee-high boots (some steel-toed), spiked belts, bracers, etc.  Kind of goth/punk.  Why I like wearing pinks and purples now is probably a mystery to everyone. :laugh:

I do the goth thing, so I can put on tons of makeup and put my hair down. I have enjoyed very much that the subculture lets me be feminine a bit with my attire too, sometimes people mistake me for a woman in boy mode, and that makes me feel good.

In femme mode I will wear many more differing fashions, but goth is still there a bit, I just am a bit careful about doing it too much as I want a bit of differentiation between what I wear and I like the look of other female fashions just as much.
15 years on Susans, where has all the time gone?
