Masculine contour8/30/2023 – When getting your hair done, ask for square shapes. But not super duper cheap because messing up your hair can wreck your confidence. They don’t have to be super expensive either. – For those who do prefer short hair, barbers can be scary, especially pre T. – You can pass with long hair, but guys with long hair don’t style it like women do. – Short hair is not the end all be all of passing. Piercings actually tend to be feminine if not done in a way that accentuates masculine features. Hoop earrings are feminine unless they’re the really small thick kind. I personally often wear thick rings, mens rings. Or you can add in bits of individualism, a loud belt buckle, cute socks, some pins, a nice hat. So if you want, throw all these tips in the trash and do whatever you want. Individualism is v important and can aid in passing too, because when you’re being yourself you’re more confident. – “But Oliver, what about individualism? If we’re all following these tips or the modern style, how can we be ourselves?”. – Following the modern mens style for your age also can help you pass. But otherwise, your socks are up to you, most people aren’t paying attention to them. This actually looks p good if it goes with your personal style. For some reason the style for guys rn is long socks, usually with a design on them, with cuffed pant legs. I’m not saying you can’t wear sweats or basketball shorts all the time, but I am saying that looking good feels good. – Looking nice can go a long way to boost confidence. – Wearing a belt can help disguise curves. They don’t change your height super drastically but if your self conscious about it, they can be confidence boosters af. You can get them on amazon for a few bucks. If your style is classy or somth, a pair of boots or dress shoes might be better. If your style is casual and chill, knockoff vans work. I prefer my knock off vans, but yours should go with your style. If you have thrift shops targerted at teens, those are some of the best. Goodwills mens section is smaller than their womens section, and their pants are usually not in smaller sizes. – Target and Old Navy can be good size wise, they tend to sell smaller pants (only down to like a 28 tho). Sweaters over button ups is nerdy but actually looks ok. If you can afford it, get one tailored to you so you can wear it to things like job interveiws without looking like your shirt is too big and wrinkly. This can look butchy if you aren’t careful. I prefer short sleeved ones, but if you do wear them, rolling the sleeves to the elbow and keeping them unbuttoned with a t underneath is ok. Wear slightly loose pants and generally wear them on your hips. Avoid womens button ups because they accentuate the tiddy. – You can pass in womens clothes if need be. It’s ok to shop in the boys section if you need to, there are some ok looking clothes. And being so small I find that mens shirts don’t fit me well, especially button ups. If you have the style of a butch lesbian, you will probably look like a butch lesbian (unless you’re on hormones). If you have the style of a little boy, you’re gonna look like a little boy. I have the style of a 90s teenage boy (and sometimes a skater boy) and it works, I pass. This is a super subjective one but it all plays into style. I don’t like to wear super bright colours, as they just tend to be more feminine. – I personally prefer neutral or earth tones. If this is your thing ok but I know most of us hate that. They may hide your curves but they only accentuate lack of muscle. Third, some people cannot pass without hormones no matter what they do and I’m also sorry about that. This advice is all subjective and if you find that the opposite works better for you, more power to you. Second, I am pre T and pass well enough to be stealth with a cis male roommate, but I am incredibly lucky in that I am naturally masculine. If you have the luxury of not wanting to pass, don’t comment on my shit with “UwU you don’t have to pass to be trans” of course you don’t but we fucking want to. I’m gonna preface this with a few things.įirst, no, passing is not a social construct its something trans people need for comfort and safety.
