FtM Clothing

With my regular binder, I wear graphic shirts which draw attention away from the chest. Hoodies help too. Pants wise, I wear jeans and cargos. For me, wearing my hoodies can sometimes help to cover up my curve areas (I'm a shorter and smaller torso'd fella).

 

I have a kind of a big butt too. It makes finding pants that fit an annoying trail. You could buy large pants then just cut the legs. Also different kinds of jeans have different kinds of fits. You can do relaxed fit, but I find that carpenter pants are the loosest. I also tend to wear shirts one or two sizes over. If I don't tuck them in, it gives me a nice baggy look.

 

Layers? I guess if you don't want to do baggy you can do some layers to give you some bulk. It's cold out now too, so it kind of helps with that as well.

 

I recently lost a bit of weight because I was sick and living off of crackers and sadness for a week and a half. But I don't recommend that as a method of improving your self image by any means. (I won't lie though, feeling the waistband of my skinny jeans slip down around my hip bones was thriling - now if only I had sexy male hips and thighs for my pants to accentuate...back to the treadmill I suppose)

Yeah, so. I wear skinny jeans, and slim fit jeans. I generally shy away from anything too baggy, I feel like it makes my ass look bigger and my legs look stumpier, which at 5'3" is the opposite of what I want. The exception to the rule would be cargo pants, whenever I can find a good fitting pair. I like the extra pockets, and my god are they comfy. The problem with cargos is their tendency to be cut low in the crotch, which isn't an issue if you're a 5'8"+ natal male, but they make me look stumpy unless they're closer cut. There is the dillemma of my curves though - they're obvious no matter what I do, and I feel like I'm really bottom heavy given my height. I deal with it by trying to ignore it. I do have a wonderful pea coat though that helps me so much during these colder months - it's just long enough to hide my curves, and the collar and shoulder details help masculinize my figure.

I don't really wear shirts with graphics, but I tend to look for larger graphics when I do. I have a tshirt with a big squared-off woodcut graphic on the front, and it is pretty incredible. I wear button down shirts when I can find ones that fit.

I haven't had binding issues yet. For a while I was binding with ace bandages but that got old fast, and I invested in a proper binder. The only issue i do have is that some of my necklines are a bit wider than the straps of my binder. It doesn't always hide well, except with button down shirts.

Hoodies ar pretty awesome at hiding curves, but not so awesome at hiding boobs. I wear them open.

 

I have trouble with bras also. I own two - one that I won't toss yet because I bought it after I came to terms with my identity but before I started trying to express it, and it's a quality bra and I might need to present as female from time to time until I actually make progress coming out, and the other is a "genie bra" that i bought in case it actually grants wishes and can make me male-appearing (that seems to be not the case though), and also because it's comfortable enough for me to generally forget about it when I'm having non-binding days.

I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight at this point, because I'm trying to build up a bit of muscle in my arms and shoulders (my arms are noodles), but I am trying to lose as much fat as I can because every little bit of it on my body sticks to my thighs and it sucks.

 

I know right? It's the worst. I'm hoping when the weather warms up and I can do some cardio, I'll be able to shed some of that. I feel like since I went full vegan, I'm keeping less weight on in general now. But I love carbs, and sadly, they continue to betray me. :rolle:

 

I buy slim fit dress shirts. They're cut a little closer than the "classic" style, which usually makes them less baggy in the sides and under the arms. I still have the issue of sleeve length though. I roll mine a lot because otherwise they're too long 99% of the time. When I have money I'll probably have them tailored.

 

Yeah, I've noticed that sort sleeved ones seem really wide in the sleeves. Maybe it's because I have noodle arms. :dry: I have one, just one, because it's a comparatively decent fit, and I liked the details on it.

 

Oh, I forgot! Asian retailers. Great for shirts omg. They're smaller than American sizing, which is good news for smaller guys like us! I've only ever bought t-shirts from them so far, but I'm looking into their dress shirts right now. A lot of them have really cool little details too, which is nice. If I buy any dress shirts, I'll let you know what company I got them from and how they fit!
