Finding clothes when you're androgynous?

Hi!

I guess I have the same problem, I identify as male, but present more female. Much of my wardrobe is loose-fitting jeans, t-shirts and sweaters. But I think it's bit boring so I try to improve it. My solutiion so far is to simply mix male and female. Like, for example, if a wear a guys t-shirt and binder (hate bras under t-shirt), I have skinny jeans or if I wear a female tanktop, I have mens pants and accessories. Otherwise I think there are quite a lot "masculine" female clothes, that might be something, but I'm not really fond of it. If you want to buy men's clothes when shopping with your mother I would suggest going to smaller shops or sport stores that are not so clearly divided in male and female, than it's easier to "occasionally" go into the guys part and find something you like. That's how I did it in the beginning.
Good luck finding your expression!

 

Try shopping online, if you can. Also, if you are pretty small, you might be able to fit into the kids (boys/tween/teen/childrens/girls) range for trousers and other items. I would recommend you look at all the sections into which you can fit into, and just buy whatever YOU like, whether that is for girls, boys, adults, etc. The best of both worlds.

 

I usually enjoy mixing and matching For example, the other day I decided it was a 'fancy' day so I wore a long green dress(one of those that's shorter in the front than the back) with my navy suit jacket. It felt wonderful I'm a bit of a punk hippy when it comes to fashion as well, and personally love things that are a bit 'rough' or have patches ^_^

As for a binder, without being able to order it online, it's a bit difficult. But there are many sites that show you how to make one yourself? From what I've seen they're pretty easy to make. I'll admit that I'm so glad I know how to sew with being androgynous! Makes things sooo much simpler with fit and things. I'll see if I can find some links and PM you

 

There are a few threads on buying clothing...
have you considered unisex clothing ?

 

I know people have mentioned this before, but what about thrift shops? They will most likely have punk/hippie clothes and good prices and the men's and women's sections aren't always so clearly divided.

 

You might look up the threads on FtM clothing... there were a few hints there...
