Being a masculine presenting woman, finding the best-fitting clothing can be challenging. Over time I have learned what works for me. Learning your body type and what fits your body type is important in finding clothes. As a woman who wears men’s clothing, you have to account for a different body shape than men. Some women don’t have this problem but others do. A great way to supplement better-fitting clothes is to use someone who alters clothing.
Since Big Rona has been here my days are filled with either shorts or joggers and always a t-shirt. To be completely honest, I have never been an eager to get dressed up person. I actually love joggers, sweat pants, shorts and t-shirts, it has been my happy fashion place. Yet, here I am during the Rona eager to get dressed, even if it is just the grocery store. I find myself putting on jeans to do the simplest of tasks. Although, I love my casual wear, it has been worn out! Since Big Rona has been visiting I have had a couple times when I absolutely needed to get dressed, and as excited as I am to put on a real outfit I wanted to maintain some of my casual relax wear. I had a couple reasons to get dressed; a funeral and work training, despite being specific events…
When Crocs first dropped I was like “these shoes are trasssshhhhhh,” they looked like the shoes the people doing the River Dance would wear. Then, people, you know who wore them out!!! All they wore were Crocs with everything, and everywhere. But, I have seen the light and been put up on game with Crocs lately. Crocs are definitely the new wave you need to get on. Up your drip game with some Crocs. So whether you have the crocs classic clog or another design you cant go wrong. Crocs are a type of shoe made of a soft, lightweight, and waterproof material called Croslite. Some benefits of wearing Crocs include: It’s worth noting that not everyone finds Crocs comfortable, and some people may prefer other types of shoes for certain activities or environments. Ultimately, the best shoe for you will depend on your personal preferences and needs. Since writing…
So many things affect finding a style that looks right on you. Honey, let me tell you, this has always been a struggle for me. I’ve always wanted to have a certain look yet, never could figure out how to pull it off. What I learned is that my struggle was bigger than what I wanted but was more about how I felt. I’m not insecure but I’m fasho self conscious. Being a Black woman who is a masculine presenting lesbian (stud *inserts eye roll), I constantly thought about how something looks on me, would this look good, or even how would people perceive me. I work in an environment that is easily 95% (and I’m being generous) white and in the south, if not this job, any other environment here. I often wondered if what I wear is too masculine would people feel a way about how I look.…
What to Know About Business Casual (From a Masc Perspective) Let me be real — business casual used to feel like a personality killer to me. Like… you mean to tell me I gotta walk into work looking like every other person in a navy button-down and khakis? That never sat right with me. Especially as a masculine-presenting woman, where style already feels like a balancing act between how you see yourself and how the world reads you. I like structure. I like clean fits. I like looking put together. But I also like looking like me. And for a long time, business casual felt like it was asking me to shrink that. Typically, in work environments, most masculine-presenting people (and men in general) default to the easy go-to: polos, button-downs, and pants. Clean. Simple. Predictable. And listen — there’s nothing wrong with that. I wear that too. But where…
This is a good look for work and easy to pull off. If you buy men’s pants and jackets whether you are male or female, I recommend finding a good cheap tailor. If your city has a K&G they always keep a good tailor on hand who is reasonable.
