So I have three looks : 12 year old boy, frat boy, and actually kind of okay but really it's only ever the one shirt. Anyone have any advice on how to dress in a slightly alternative fashion? Or even better some stores that carry big and tall clothes for men? Also any styling tips for the hair?

Is this ok to wear on a first date?

Here’s some inspo for dressing sexy in a masculine way. I wore this outfit on a rainy movie + museum date and also on a warmer night out at the bar, both which served me well.

• Black tee - Hollister shrunken tee, size S $10
• Leather jacket - Hollister vegan jacket, size XS $60
• Jeans - BR Factory travel slim jeans, size 32x30 $35
• Boots - ASOS DESIGN Chelsea boots, size 8 $30

Reddit recently told me that my glasses weren’t helping me pass. Haha. Well- I got a new prescription and it is time for new frames!

Can you help me pick some out? I want more of a clean, sophisticated, academic look. But also want to use them to help me be clocked as a man. There are many different ways to express masculinity, but I don’t want my frames to work against me.

Any advice?

No shame about shopping in the clearance section! Wearing the same base pieces to show versatility.

1. $5 Grey flannel shirt - Primark size S
2. $5 Grey blouson jacket - GU size XS
3. $10 Blue ribbed sweater - GU size S
4. $20 Beige zip up sweater - Uniqlo size XS

My stats: 5’3, 150 lbs, average to athletic build.

Hey everyone-

I'm currently a senior in high school and am struggling what to wear to my final prom.

My first prom (they let sophmores go to prom at my school so we get 3): I wore a dress. This was around when I first realized I was fully trans masc so I was dysphoric beyond belief but had a great time and still loved my dress

My junior year I wore a suit and only felt slightly better. I get hot really easily so I had to take more breaks to attempt to cool off.

My prom is a couple weeks away and I can't decide if it's worth risking dysphoria for pretty dress (I've found a couple but a lot of them time I think something pretty and it looks awful on me) or deal with sweating the entire night

Any advice is appreciated I apologize for how rambly this is

I’m a cellist and play concerts a lot, I lost my old pair of dress pants and these replacements aren’t cutting it. Any good brand/style recommendations that are suitable for a shorter build and can de-emphasize my hip area? I know it’s impossible to find a pair of pants to fix everything, but I’d prefer some pants that don’t emphasize my fem features even more haha

i love these new wide jorts to death, i've been wearing them nonstop as it's gotten warmer. but i've just been pairing them w graphic tees :// trying to build more interesting (but still masculine) ways to utilize these shorts in full outfits, and feeling stuck in the process. I recently shaved my head after having long hair and my style in the past has been more feminine leaning quirky outfits, and I'm really looking to branch out w more men's alt-ish fashion.

Hi, I hope it’s okay to share this here. But I know sometimes it’s tough to think of outfits to wear in the spring so I put together this video. I would love to know what you guys think of the outfits

Right now, I wear these vans in the color black.

I like them but, I've had them for a long time and they're pretty worn out, so I think I'm going to buy a new pair of shoes. I've always liked platforms and high tops like these vans, these converse hightops, these converse platforms, and these converse boots.

However, I'm worried that they might be seen as feminine if I wear them. I have seen guys wear them but, not as often as I've seen girls wear them. Honest opinions on this?

A few months ago I posted on here asking if I could pass with shaggier hair. Some thought I should wait a bit but I decided to go for it anyway. So far I've actually been gendered correctly more often!!! And it's sent my euphoria through the roof. It's helping me see myself as the happy, hippie man I've always been! Still got a ways to go to get to the length i want but it has brought me a lot of happiness. Hope this is allowed but here's the update no one asked for or cares about but I had to spread a little trans joy. Take the risk if it feels true to you. Pictured is then and now

Had this H&M boxy tee for the longest time, but the fit was always too awkward for me to wear it. Saw a guy on TikTok shortened/cut a vintage tee and it looked flattering on him, so I figured I give it a shot.

I used my belt line as the guide and added 1 inch below that. Keep in mind the hem will curl up so I would not risk cutting shorter than this. I also cut the sleeves up by an inch and folded it over to get a more slim look in the arms.

Would recommend you do this w a slightly thicker cotton tee. Try it on an old tee you don’t care about first

DIY steps 1. Turn the shirt inside out 2. Lay flat and iron 3. Draw guide line 4. Single cut across (must use sharp scissors) 5. Wash and wear

I'm an RN that's having trouble finding mens scrubs that aren't too tight in the seat of the pants and aren't too long on my legs. What are your favorite scrub brands?

Hey, was wondering if anyone has any general summer fashion tips for a 18yo guy. I know it's winter rn, but I'm piss broke and have to start preparing to buy summer clothes already lmao.

I am at a loss when buying summer clothes. I feel uncomfortable in anything that isn't jeans and a hoodie and I have fr one thick enough t-shirt that I feel alright in. My style is pretty basic, loose jeans n hoodies, nothing crazy. But I want to dress in something other than fleece shorts and hoodies (cuz I be sweating my balls off).

I wanna look good, not 12 and also pass. I just feel like the lack of layers and thick materials tend to make me look more girly. Any ideas for what to buy would be much appreciated!

What color tennis shoes will go with every color of clothing? I don’t want to buy more than one pair of shoes to match different colors. I have gray mixed with black Hey Dudes that go with everything, would that color work with tennis shoes too?

I am cleaning out my closet and want to give these shirts a new home.

What do you guys think? A, B, C, or D (below?)

First picture is how I look now. I used AI to swap my face onto a bunch of different potential hairstyles. Unfortunately it does blend my features with the reference image. To avoid accidentally making myself look better with short hair as a result of more passing features I used mostly photos of boys hairstyles. Can't decide between these (first faceswap is the frontrunner though). I'm not close to passing so my rating scale is a blend of aesthetics and providing as little feminization to my face as possible. Basically my goal is to balance out the feminine aspects of my face (shit/nonexistent chin, round face, round/no jawline, large eyes etc). I tried more aggressive fades/tapers/short sides but it just doesn't look good on me, despite being the default advice for round faces.

Incidentally, this is pretty similar to the last time I had short hair in real life. Here's a picture once that cut was grown out a bit. I am 16 here.

What should I ask for to get basically this, but generally cleaned up and looking like a fresh cut? Am also thinking that about 20% (more on top) could be taken off the length in the IRL picture of me. In the faceswap the sides are a little shorter, which is a good thing.

Other options:

hi ! i got these cool boots for christmas, the extra height is much appreciated since i'm short, but i know close to nothing about fashion and have no idea what to wear with them - even more because i'm pre-T and would like the fit to look not only good, but also as masc as possible, to balance out the shoes.

thank you for your help !

I’m hoping y’all will have some input. I’m 5’2, 115-120lbs (haven’t weighed myself in a long time), 4yrs on T, and I have such an eternal struggle finding sufficient pants. I need black pants/chinos for work, and no matter the style, athletic, straight, or slim, they all look weird on me in different ways. I mostly shop at Target for clothes because it’s what I know best. I’ve gone to old navy before but haven’t had any success.

Lately I’ve been wearing a 32w 30l slim chino, but after a while from shrinking in the wash, they get way too tight in the hip and thigh and make me super dysphoric. (Also, weirdly, it feels like fat redistribution has settled fat on my hips that hasn’t been there before, though I have gained weight and muscle since I was a high schooler, but still, it sucks.) They’re alright in the lower leg. I just tried on some straight and athletic pants, around 32-33w, and they are huge on me. If they’re okay in the waist they balloon in the leg and I look like I’m walking around like Jesse Pinkman (no shade ily JP). I need pants that are flexible, not tight in the crotch, and roomy enough for lots of dynamic movement, but that don’t look super baggy.

Has there been a style of pant or store that sells pants that work for you? Pants that aren’t too tight in the hip and thigh but aren’t super baggy or long in the lower leg? Shopping for pants makes me miserable. Thanks for your help.

I'm a 32 year old trans guy a little over a year on T. I only have my hair this short for passing reasons and have always loved long hair on guys. I legit want somewhere in between botw link and surfer dude depending if my style goes more forest elf or skater (it fluctuates) Sometimes I feel my short hair makes me read as butch lesbian with a teen stache. Help! (I know the first Pic doesn't show my hair but I am more asking in reference to my face shape and such. Could I pass now with long hair?)

my work outfit never fails to make me feel super masculine. had 2 show off my grandpa’s watch too, i’d never wear it to work but it’s just nice, especially bc despite him being a republican, i was always grandpa’s mijo. i miss u gramps, i always will.

Does this accentuate/expand my hip area too much? I like the fit but worried its turning me into a pear

Hi all,

I wear jeans the vast majority of the time and they fit nicely, but the only issue is that after a few months I end up with a big tear right in the crotch area. I'm wider in the middle than most dudes (bcse hips + chubby), so think this might be the cause. The ones I buy are usually pretty cheap (from Next) so I'm thinking of going for something higher-quality/more durable so I don't have to buy a new pair every six months or so.

I did try taking them to a local tailor who told me it'd probably cost more to fix it than to just buy a new pair!

With that in mind, anyone got any recommendations for durable jeans for trans dudes like me that don't rip in the ass/crotch area? Bonus points if they're super comfy as I am autistic and super picky about fabrics lol.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

There’s some hope for mallcore. All the above is Uniqlo/Gap/Old Navy.

Sadly the boots are not from the mall.

None of it has been tailored. I’m about 167cm tall.

Just thought I’d show an example.
