I tend to dress like a guy. I HATE women's clothes. I usually wear a baggy t-shirt, jeans, sneakers and a ratty beat up hoodie. I wear a padlock around my neck, stud earrings, my make up is usually dark colors as well as my nail polish. I love beanies. Probably because my hair is hideous. I don't even bother to shave my legs or wax my eyebrows.

I used to dress very feminine despite being plus-sized but now there's no point in getting all prettied up for the boys. I tried to attract them. That's the only reason I haven't gotten breast reduction. Now I don't care so I may be flat as the Midwest soon.

Oh and I am no longer attracted to guys or girls. What's the point?

I don't care for dresses and skirts, either. I rarely wore them growing up, and once I was an adult I never did again. I usually wear slacks, as it's hard to get stretch jeans for short fat women who don't wear high heels. I do wear knit and jersey tops, but I like them better than non knit shirts. They are more comfortable and are stretchy, so they fit better. I also wear mens sneakers--my feet are long and wide, and they are high up on top, so I can't really fit into women's foot gear, but I don't mind wearing men's foot gear. I sometimes by men's sweaters and sweatshirts. I also like some of the color schemes available in men's wear that are not available in women's wear.

As far as gender goes, I am pretty much gender neutral in my mind, as I don't have any real affinity to be or to like any particular gender. And since I had a hysterectomy several years ago (cancer), I am now physically neutral, as well. Well, I don't need those parts to live anyway, and I had no plans to have kids. It was a good way to get rid of the cancer. I had a chuckle when filling out the paperwork at the time. I had to sign a release declaring that I understood I would not be able to have kids after the operation, so I would not be able to sue the hospital for making me unable to have kids. DUH! Laughing

My typical outfits include things like T-shirts/blouses, pants/shorts/slacks/jeans, and sneakers. I don't wear makeup and rarely shave. Both my mom and one of my older sisters say I dress in a gender-neutral way. My dad says that it's impossible for women to crossdress in this day and age because it's socially acceptable for women to wear pants and shirts.

I'm definitely a jeans and tshirt kind of gal. I can't stand makeup and rarely wear jewelry or do up my hair.

I dressed like a boy from a very early age..part of it was my mom's idea..and since as a kid, I felt very gender-neutral..it was fine by me...When i got older, it became a problem tho...It was something that I was severely bullied for...so I gradually developed a somewhat more feminine sense of style..very much based around comfort..but I have a neurosis about needing to make myself seem somewhat feminine because I have somewhat negative associations with the gender-neutral thing and the amount of teasing that resulted from it...like getting called a "dyke" when I didn't even know what on earth that meant...getting ratted out to my gym coach for not wearing the proper undergarments cause I had not noticed that I had "hit puberty"...silly stuff like that...I wear makeup and stuff because it helps me feel comfortable with myself.

I don't wear female clothes at all. I hate women's clothes! I don't relate to anything feminine.

I've often viewed clothing as an experimental game of dress-ups. I ended up with some awkward combinations as a teen, unless I came up with a reasonably good outfit and stuck with it. Growing up I went through phases of dressing like a boy, or sometimes I'd be infatuated with a particular item of clothing, e.g. a bowler hat. I admired the lesbian feminists at uni, so I buzz-cutted my hair to look like them. Once I drew a moustache on my face cos I thought it would be fun to pretend I was a boy. In my 20s I went through a phase of being obsessed with Japanese lolita fashion, then with German dirndl dresses because the fabrics were so gorgeous and pretty. Right now I'm obsessed with cowboy boots. I'm into being as NT as possible nowadays (I have career ambitions) so I put a lot of effort into dressing "normally" and looking good.

I'll dress more feminine or masculine depending on how I feel that particular day. :B
I hardly ever wear dresses or skirts, though. Almost always pants.

Usually yes, but when I have to go to college, I dress up in leggings and a long shirt or a long dress lately.

I have dressed like a guy for as long as I can remember. Cargo pants/shorts with a T-shirt or a mens tank top along with my chain wallet and sneakers.

I definately dress very feminine - I didn't when I was younger.

I used to dress very male - baggy male jeans, baggy male t-shirts, male jumpers, padded 'lumberjack' shirts, and men's work boots several sizes too big for me, then with my hair cut very short with no make-up or jewellery. I was flat-chested and amongst more feminine large-chested friends I felt unfeminine and unattractive so decided being unfeminine I may as well dress and act male - it also worked out better for me as back then I struggled to leave the house without my coat fastened even in very hot summer weather, the male clothing gave me the security I needed but being layers were cooler.

I buy my clothes in ladies shops, but they don't tend to be overly feminine (so she says whilst wearing a cerise vest top with crochet around the neckline). I have a drawer full of t-shirts with wild animal prints on them, which I used to wear all the time, but I made a decision about not wearing them, not because they're masculine, but because I'm nearly 40, not 8. My husband is 44 and he can still wear his, without feeling awkward. My tops now are normally plain or stripy t-shirts (long and short sleeved). I wear denim jeans, almost every day, and Skechers walking shoes, which are ladies, but they could quite easily be worn by a man, with tiny feet. I have a few dresses, for special occasions and some extra special stuff, which is rarely worn.

At your age, yes I dressed like a boy (relaxed fit blue jeans and white shirt type). Although my clothes were always neat and clean. I didn't really outgrow my slender boyish figure until my 30s, and now I wear feminine clothes due to the hourglass shape. I discovered a couple years ago that there are lots of feminine clothes that look great on me, don't cost a lot and so much more comfortable than jeans and jacket. I have built up a large feminine wardrobe since then. Mostly long dresses and skirts and fitted tops. My clothes are very colorful. I'm never trendy but consider myself stylish in my own ways.

I still don't wear makeup or heels. I think a long floral silk dress and my long flowing hair are quite girly enough already.
