Fixing Trans Fashion

[@blueish4]

i swear the most effective thing for baby trans people is not searching for "trans-specific" fashion advice. searching for "women's outfits for broad shoulders" is gonna give way more useful advice (not to mention how it really emphasises the reality that even pre-hrt trans women have broadly the same things as some cis women)

[@hardyorange]

THIS. I see SO MANY trans women INSISTING that every trans fashion influencer start a clothing line so that they'll "finally" have clothing that fits their trans body, when the reality is 1) there are plenty of cis women with your exact proportions and 2) most women are fed up with trying to find clothing that fits them and makes them feel confident and fashionable. You aren't having trouble figuring out your size in women's jeans because you're trans, you're having trouble because women's clothing sizes aren't standardized and finding a well-fitting pair of women's jeans is so life changing that someone wrote a whole YA novel series about it! (Okay, not quite what the series was about; it's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series if you don't know what I'm referencing!) Genuinely, humans are relatively low on the hormone-based dimorphism scale; we might not be as uniformly shaped as house cats, but it's not like we're as different as angler fish, either! Pick a style influencer who has a similar build (and skin tone and hair texture for makeup and hair care!) as you and start by following their advice, regardless of them being cis or trans, and you'll probably find brands and styles that suit you far more quickly than begging the handful of trans girl influencers (who have completely different proportions than you!) for advice.

[@morbidhime]

Yeah I'm a cis girl but my body type isn't the stereotypical dainty/small type, yet I'm not chubby either. This video is a big help for choosing what pieces would work best on my body type ngl

[@Nejove]

Yeah, I'm not sure why exactly, but it feels like a lot of women's clothing is made for proportions that even a lot of cis women don't possess in terms of a narrow torso and thin arms. I'm told that my cis sister has that same problem, so some cis women ALSO just have wider shoulders and/or ribcages, thicker arms, etc. than women's clothing tends to account for. I'm not sure if this is just misogyny ingrained in the fashion industry (much like fake pockets or lack thereof) or related to the fact that a lot of clothing tends to be made in China where people's bodies are smaller on average or what, but it doesn't ONLY affect trans women.

[@hardyorange]

@Nejove Smaller sizes mean less fabric, plus plenty of places are using the same pattern for all sizes and scaling it up and down to make smaller and larger clothes, but human bodies don't work like that: a person who is 30% taller won't have a 30% wider ribcage, and same for going down in size. Even worse, the way fabric is cut is often using giant "cookie cutter" stamp cutters or guillotine blades on a stack of fabric at the same time, which, especially for stretchy fabrics, causes the stack to warp as pressure is applied, making every single piece in the same cut sliiightly off from the original cut pattern, getting worse the farther down the stack you go. Add in that cheap labor means worse stitching and thus using up more fabric in uneven hems, and all around it's a recipe for disaster for actually making clothes that fit.

As for silhouette, don't be afraid to tuck in, tucking in your shirts and tops into high-wasted skirts and jeans is going to be one of the best tools you have when putting together an outfit, if your aim is towards a feminine silhouette, see what it does for you!

[@Mr_Ender_84]

Tucking 🤔

[@Nejove]

Personally, I feel like you should've mentioned leggings (or nylons, I guess, if you prefer that) as an option at some point. Yes, they can definitely have "bulge" issues, but wearing them underneath a dress, skirt, or even shorts can be a great way to show off the SHAPE of your legs without showing off the TEXTURE of your legs (especially if they're not as smooth, unblemished, and hairless as you'd like). It can also make the outfit warmer in colder weather, and it pairs well with the kinds of ankle socks that you recommend (well, leggings do, but not nylons). Overall, they're just a versatile (and usually pretty cheap) clothing option worth considering, and not JUST as gym wear.

[@Nejove]

@UTTPW Not exactly the same, but I have "half ankle" socks that come up just a little bit further. Because leggings typically stop at the ankle, IMO they pair well with socks that end near there.

[@just-mees]

This was huge for me. Leggings are so much comfier than socks, why aren't leggings part of the baby trans outfit?

[@kayla8402]

yeah semi-opaque tights are a really nice way to get some color in there without being as over the top as the striped socks. Brightly printed leggings do well for something more fun but sophisticated as well.

[@tinylord1691]

I’m not gonna wear a skirt and nothing on my legs. If there’s one thing I learned from cis women, it’s wear tights so you don’t have to shave your legs.

[@philiphanan1493]

Heck, I do both.

[@Ψευδάνωρ]

Well if you wear thigh highs and and skirt you only have to shave the bit part that is exposed, bonus points if you are very hairy you can just go without actual socks and just have permanent hair thigh high socks

[@drezhb]

or long skirts, like ankle length. much more "mature adult" looking and you can skip the tights

[@jey_00_]

I didn’t really have a baby trans fashion phase, mostly because I was constrained by budget and I was overly conscious about needing clothes that felt “safe.” I keep thinking I should go back and fix that.

honestly, the world needs more recognition for trans issues. i think everyone should know that transitioning is a struggle and that it’s not easy. so you don’t have to cringe at your baby trans self wearing a pink skirt at the office. it was a service to all trans people. i did it too, all of us did cringey things, odds are some are doing it right now.

Changing ourselves to work around others' idea of "cringe" is usually what had us in the closet to begin with. Here we just have another cringe loser telling us how to be, what to wear, etc.

[@ClicStudio]

I think growing up from your baby trans outfit is all about finding out more about yourself, realize what your tastes really are and go for it. Some cis people have trouble with that too and stay on the line of normie fashion for longer than they should or even forever. As trans people it’s easier to see the problem since usually it’s over the top for each style we try until we get to really understand what fits us

[@kyttynkross1121]

another tip is to tuck your shirt into the skirt (or pants). Some of the issues you brought up about the various tops making the torso area weird may have been alleviated by tucking the shirt in. Especially that black one; could almost look like a seamless outfit/dress, depending on the skirt's waistband style. Or put on a big chunky belt to highlight the waist area (put it in a different place, even, to "reshape" your body) that being said, it depends on the shirt stretch and the skirt weight. If the shirt pulls up when you reach up adn the skirt is light weight enough (as this one seems to be), it'll just ride the shirt right up and oopsie daisies. but also, honestly, your best best is to check out women's fashion tips, rather than trans fashion tips. you'll find great advice just generally.

[@mist8814]

Grey and more toned down colours (like less bright/saturated colours or darker colours like dark green or burgendy) or neutral colours are such a good idea for socks that easily make it look less of a twitch egirl/kawaii weeb type outfit and more like a feminine everyday outfit! You can even still use those colours to create nods to fun aesthetics such as neutrals and dark green could lean into looks that reference cottagecore colour schemes or dark grey, or dark red etc could be used for looks that reference dark academia colour schemes, if you still want to be able to use clothes you have for everyday essential wearable looks out, to also do fun aesthitics. Also higher denier tights to help create more feminine looking legs or trying knee/mid calf/crew socks for those with already skinny/feminine shaped legs is great for more every day wearable looks out, even for more formal/professional settings. Crew socks are great to create more looks that can be worn in more everyday settings too, especially if you still want to keep your socks colourful or with fun patterns on them :)

[@sk8trrr_]

Speaking from Pre-Transition experience, the best tip I have is to focus on just wearing clothes that you like and that make you feel comfortable in your own skin. Aesthetics will only get you so far, follow your heart besties

I'm in sort of the same boat. I went through a pseudo baby trans phase when i was in my femboy phase and experimenting with fem clothes before I realized i was trans.

I'd like to challenge the idea that certain styles of clothing/expression are more appropriate for certain ages or that looking like an adult means you have to dress "plainer".

Part of why I finally gave in and went outwardly femme was my love of funky colorful paisley prints. Like going to a site to shop for yoga pants, there's literally hundreds of options for women, and only one in basic black for men! Basically I dress what I think suits me, and don't worry about it. This time of year I wear a lot of fishnet/crochet/openwork on my legs, as that suits both my shorts/skirts and shoes. My flats work with ankle socks, but for heels that works for only specific shoe and outfit combinations. I wish that I could find more cute ankle socks my size in silk, but they are rare. Currently I am wearing a printed silk romper which is like a baseball shorts cut on the bottom, with bell sleeved halter top. It's a mostly red pattern with paisley details in orange, yellow, coral, and teal. Some distinctive minimal red geometric fishnet tights I wear only a few times per year, and chunky Brazilian heels in cutout brown leather. It's simple, IMO looks great, and keeps me cool on this sunny 80 degree day.

[@artluver94c]

If you want to keep the baby tee or even just pair something nice with a tank top and the skirt, you can also go for a nice baggy cardigan that covers the shoulders or is off the shoulder on one or two of your shoulders. I think that will concentrate bulk to the clothes and make your features look more petite. Of course this doesn't work on hotter days or in hotter climates but you might be able to find thinner cardigans that still work. Oh, you can also wear tights, leggings, or fishnets if you want something on your legs but don't want to wear thigh highs.

My trick is tucking in the button up in the skirt, but letting it puff out a little on the sides/front. If the skirt is high enough on your waist, it’ll give a nice curvier shape if thats what you’re looking for, while also looking a little more professional.

[@cocoabear_art]

Or another would be to get an oversized zip up hoodie and have it only halfway zipped up so that it drapes off one shoulder. It does a good job of hiding belly if you’re insecure about that (i definitely am) but it also pulls the sweater up so it looks kinda cropped to enhance curves :)

[@lichtsprecher]

Jude is the editor, right? 😅

[@aspidoscelis]

Didn't even know Finn had a real name.

[@dwaynebow]

can confirm, baby socks do so much more for me than high socks when trying to dress feminine!

[@bloodsmithgamer5071]

Funnily enough- I mostly wear ankle-length skirts. I only have two knee-length "skirts" which are both actually quite masculine kilts lol. And I started out wearing neutral blacks, grays & whites for long socks bc I have always kind of preferred neutral colors. I'm still trying to find my way past that a bit tbh so I can wear more interesting outfits..

[@debdebberton]

**A WILD TRANS FASHION ICON APPEARED!** 💯💯💯

[@RheaSeiros]

Please please please do more of these! Especially with jeans fits I have no clue what im doing and these help immeasurably!!!!

[@tahinaschwegler8112]

cardigans can be great :) even a looser more casual looking one

[@tahinaschwegler8112]

also look up a french tuck! I love doing that with my tops. Gives it less of a boxy shape and creates more interest in the outfit

[@mochigotbored]

Honestly, all my 'outfits' are in that ball park. Hearing "There's nothing wrong with this outfit, it just could be better." reminds me of my time in school when I had to go to extra classes and when some other kid asked the teacher "Why do we have to do these classes?", I told him "Because we're stupid." and the teacher told us "It's not because you're stupid. We just think you could do better.". The teacher meant we were all stupid. Anyhoo, I'mma go question my fashion choices.

[@mochigotbored]

You may have one *hug*

[@zariahAwashere]

Pro-tip from a trans guy who obsessively learned to dress my feminine body thinking it'd "cure my confusion", and never saw my own body type on pinterest boards, outfits should be interesting in 2/3 categories; texture, shape, or color. The first bto was interesting by shape, a tighter top and looser/structured bottom helps an hourglass silhouette, accentuates the small of your waist with the cropped tee, every individual piece of that fit makes sense, but feels *off* because it's only hitting one of those 3 categories.

[@RolandSchlosser]

I'm new to the F1NN and ICKY universe, but I'm loving it! Also, ICKY is stupid beautiful like wtf :(

[@ChungXianSheng]

The way you explained the trenchcoat look, my mind immediately went to Guilty Gear icon Bridget lol. Daisuke and team really did their fashion homework.

[@dithered.fansition]

love your fashion vids! even as someone 4 yrs into transitioning/sorta settling in my outfits its nice to just see fashion vids made with the context of trans experience :)

[@Swift_LN]

Okay but the coat goes SO HARD

[@terribletrenches8199]

"if you like the fashion videos, please comment and make me make more of them" hallo i like the fashion videos. i am commenting to make you make more of them. fashion is SICK and RADICAL

[@maple7093]

Another piece of sock-related advice, try Pantyhose (especially black). Super breezy, usable in winter and summer, keep the legs warm but also ventilated, and look great under any dress/skirt. Yes, it's seen as being for old people in many places, but in places like Romania (my home country), they're worn by basically everyone.

[@RadioYui]

Love the stereotypical high socks lol

[@RadioYui]

@ville__ Jesus is the way my friend.

[@rixabix]

Aw Icky that was such a fun video! I'm so glad your feeling better lately!

[@EDCvixin]

It’s the work i have to put in to being trans that i despise 😔 which is kind of the whole thing you have to put in work to be and all that work frightens me it’s so overwhelming that’s where my doubt comes from wether i can manage my anxiety from so many things my body shape im scared of rejecting myself feeling less than there’s so many things i have problems with when considering being completely open and it seems unmanageable 😔 i really wish i knew what to do… it’s killing my brain i cannot stop thinking ab this stuff FOR MONTHS i mean like almost 6 months typa timing that i just constantly think and think and think about being a woman i dont get why i wont just grow a pair of tits and DO IT it’s so scary and frustrating 😔

[@emeraldbonsai]

i agree the top clashed with the socks on the first outfit but to me the fix is Swap to a equally bright top like a hot pink then layer some neon coloured plastic chains to help match. Though yeah its definitely more going for ALT vs trying for a normal outfit

[@Ricoxemani]

Thank you icky! I'm baby trans and I've just started presenting more fem in the past couple days and your stuff is really helping me out!

[@meow-sr2bl]

I think one way to wear “long socks” without actually wearing them is just to wear full tights, you get the leg shape highlighted and its more mature looking.

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

100%

[@chiffer1787]

The big coat is FIRE I like your version of the outfit a lot

[@BlackMarluxia]

What's your advice for people that would prefer clothing that covers them up a bit better because they're anxious or their body might not be the best suited to showing skin? Like, I would've probably replaced the programmer socks with a pair of black leggings or pantyhose (or just sticking with the black kneehigh socks), because my legs looked awful since they're super hairy, and even with shaving that means having visible stubble and possibly nicks and cuts on them.

[@sabrinanaves7148]

I'm a big fan of tight jeans or "jeggings", tights that have the jean coloring/texture. There's so many fun ways to accessorize them, and a cute top that goes down to your hips will hide "the bulge" if that's a thing that concerns you (I hate it personally so I love longer tops)

[@BlackMarluxia]

@sabrinanaves7148 while it does cover my hips area nicely, I feel like the combo of tightly fitting jeans/leggings with a more loose or long top makes me look way too top heavy. Like it turns my torso into a huge box while making my legs seem like some thin sticks poking out at the bottom. I generally like cargo pants with a more tightly fitting top to make my upper body seem smaller and trying to add bulk to my lower body. It's also fairly comfy and has pockets! :D

[@bunbunjackalope4415]

I screamed when I saw the programmer sock reveal. We need to stand up as a community and cast that evil out, once and for all

[@AreweAble]

i gotta say i think the baby doll Is Genuinely the best look with the skater skirt, like yes to the long coat, but the bbdoll+skirt is a classic for a reason WAIT SHOULD HAVE FINISHED WATCHING FIRST cropped jumper + skirt is the peak 100 agree about the programmer socks though- it's a Specific! Look, and if it's what you want, go for it, there are plenty of ppl who love that kind of style, but if you want to more go for an artful/fashion/mature w/o being Old look, ditch them. also bbig fan of sheer button up/ button only part of the shirt w the skirt, low shoes, big coat

[@kenjiotake]

My ex-gf once made me try on one of those skirts, before I even knew what being trans was, and it made me feel embarrassed how much I liked wearing it, but also hated how I hadn't shaved my legs and just never tried it on again. I'll have to ask her if I can borrow that skirt some day...

[@unrightist]

Cis woman in my 30s but literally wore a skater skirt and cropped shirt today lmao. I do like to play with gender a lot through clothing and like the way you messed around with different elements. Pretty representative of how I choose outfits as well. PS your hair is really cute

[@unrightist]

That said although you are slimmer than me your body type isn't that different from my own

[@Myke_thehuman]

The thigh highs are a bit weird, but are you all really saying that any adult that wears a T-shirt and a skirt is acting #1 age inappropriate, & #2 like a baby trans stereotype? I mean I'm just gender fluid, but if im not in boy mode, then I wear an oversized shirt or a sweater and leggings. Boy mode is literally just a tshirt and jeans... Maybe icky is just really picky about fashion. Watched the rest of her video, and it seems like we're on the same page.

[@e.s.r5809]

#1 There's no age limit on fashion, but there is kind of a point where "dressing young" will draw people's attention. And you know. Puberty is kind of a sensitive time. Sometimes you want some privacy for the struggle. #2 It's not a bad look, but it's a specific look. Cis adult women rarely wear that combination. We don't all have to look like The Cis though, they're not the arbiters of good taste. I have at least one friend who lives and works solely with queers, has no intention of integrating with cishet society, and dresses like that as a queer fashion choice.

[@loficampingguy9664]

I've been thinking more and more about what to wear recently for my first time not doing an "incognito" fem outfit, and just this so happened to pop up on my feed. I'm soooo happy this exists :D

[@MingWLee]

It is all about experiencing what works for you, trans or not finding your own build of clothing that express yourself is the ultimate goal. Some clothing work like a charm but most are just for your build/body shape. My two cent is pay a visit to your local thrift store, go crazy and spend a whole day trying out all type of clothing. Take pictures whenever you find one you really like and looks great on you, that's how you slowly get used to which piece of clothing you should buy in the future. Doing so will greatly reduce the unnecessary spending, I do it is hard to resist those cute outfits; however, they are not for everyone and likely not for you as well. It only works until you are extremely familiar with your own style. Thrift shop is where it all starts imo

[@MingWLee]

@UTTPW I have a few yes

[@EmoCheesecake]

Genuinely love the fashion videos! Great tips and I appreciate the explaining and better understanding of how to pair things to work with each other

Always happy to see a new icky video!!! And I just ordered my first skirt and overknees... so I guess im being adressed in this video 😂

[@play3rthr339]

There's nothing wrong with the baby trans outfit, it's a classic for a reason, this video is moreso presented as the next steps to improve and mature that look a bit.

[@questionmark-mx1ob]

Right theres nothing wrong with it and im so excited to try it😆

[@FreiaNomad]

Funny cuz I came to the realizaion of how massive my shoulders are and found some awesome ladies who work in fashion share their wisdom. I also made a video about the inverted-triangle body type that most last transitioning trans women have ^.^ I am inline with what you mentioned here ^.^ .. Now I love that the fashion is baggy jeans and right crop tops, its made for us trans women!!!!! YAY

[@FreiaNomad]

@ville__ Hahahah I would give you one of those Long tight hugs!! I love hugs. And we can be friends for sureee ^.^ Hi friend!

[@FreiaNomad]

@UTTPW Hmmmm not really that many sich I have high top shoes or heels, I like frill socks ^.^ Or knee high socks, or fishnet tights, love those!!!

[@FreiaNomad]

@UTTPW I am 6 feet tall. I still rock heels ^.^ because I am slender and I dont care hahah

[@LCB_Meyneth]

i dont like shilling for brands, but UniQlo has a really good selection for feminine or androgynous fashion thats all very versatile, as well as measurements that make shopping online much less of a gamble. Plus their stuff is pretty well made while not being too expensive

[@beatricebrum904]

[@dings4589]

I didnt have much of a baby trans fashion phase, as i was playing it safe, but by now i keep dressing like a schoolgirl and nobody can stop me! (especially now that i realised no matter what i wear, people keep thinking i am a teenager)

[@gwendolinegoetz9224]

You cannot imagine the colorful and eccentric outfits I wore when going to the cancer center for my treatments. Everyone (patients, doctors, nurses, etc) was discussing my outfits and the 🦀 became secondary. My advice regarding outfits: wear what makes YOU happy. For work, comply with the rules.

Hearing you say F1nns government name felt like deadnaming 😂

[@DuckarooDuck]

I skipped baby step, I’m big, muscular and broad… I went 40 year old librarian to goth, to genuine style and flair 😂 (it’s a stretch but I’m sticking with it) In 5 months I wear fits that work as my shadow becomes more prominent (2-3 hours after shaving (if it fades at all (yes even with contrast (it grows through the makeup (I love overuse of bracket in brackets))))) Hope everyone is good wherever you’re at in life!

[@ineswoll3520]

I've just tried on my first skirt that I really like and actually want to keep, but it's more of a pencil skirt than an A-line skirt. I wore a tight top with wide straps and tucked it into the skirt. The whole thing looks very chic and I will wear the outfit on appropriate occasions but I really need good classic spinny skirts :D thank you so much for your fashion videos i LOVE these! soon it will be time for cropped tops! PLEASE give more advice! love ✨

Honestly would love more clothing tips or even just seeing examples of styles that you like. I really liked your 1 3rd/2 3rd tip from a previous vid. I feel like I also see it more out in the world now that you had mentioned it.

[@Alice-nq5ze]

I thought some of the outfits where the shirts went below the top of the skirt would look a bit cuter tucked in, what's y'all's opinion? Or do you think that would that take away from the shape or sumn?

[@kiramoschetti6597]

i have scars on my legs & calves (not in that way) what are some better ways to obscure or hide them while not looking super young?

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

Sheer or patterned stockings. Stockings look better than the knee highs to me. Very sophisticated.

[@kiramoschetti6597]

@@LowSlungBadBitch thats what i do, but solid make me look really skinny, idk why i usually wear a pair of super shredded black or fishnets but they don't feel professional/serious

[@wallewonks]

@@kiramoschetti6597 maybe what you could do is get ones with subtle patterns on them. For example a black one with really dark gray patterns. It could provide the slight value/colour variation that will make your legs look more 3d while still being mature and professional
