masculine presenting woman clothing

As a masculine presenting woman, finding the best-fitting clothing can be quite challenging. Over time, I have learned what works for me, and it has made a world of difference in how I feel and present myself. Understanding your body type and what fits your specific shape is crucial in this journey. Women who wear men’s clothing often have to account for different body proportions. Men’s clothing is typically designed with broader shoulders, a straighter cut, and longer lengths, which can sometimes create a less-than-ideal fit for women, especially in areas like the hips and waist.

For some women, this isn’t a significant issue, as their body shapes might naturally align more closely with the typical male proportions. However, for many others, it can be a struggle to find clothes that fit comfortably and look good. One useful strategy is to find a good tailor or someone skilled in altering clothing. Tailoring can make a huge difference, transforming off-the-rack pieces into garments that feel custom-made. Simple adjustments, such as taking in the waist, shortening the sleeves, or hemming the pants, can drastically improve the fit and appearance of the clothes.

Additionally, it’s beneficial to explore brands and styles that are more inclusive and offer a range of fits. Some brands are beginning to recognize the need for more versatile clothing options that cater to different body types and gender expressions. Shopping in both men’s and women’s sections, mixing and matching, and not being afraid to try on a variety of styles can also lead to discovering what works best for you. Ultimately, finding the right fit is about understanding your unique body and using available resources, like alterations, to ensure your clothes reflect your personal style and comfort.

Forever 21

I don’t always use them but when I do it’s for casual going out wear. Sometimes if I am looking for something specific I will check them out. The only thing about Forever 21, they do not tell you if the item you found online is in the store.

No Boundaries (Walmart Only)

I know you see Walmart and think, I am not getting clothes from Walmart but hear me out, this No Boundaries clothing line is just as good and looks like the same stuff from Rue 21. Honestly, the jeans and shorts fit really good. They are skinny enough but not too skinny with the perfect seat that sits well on your waist.
