Clothing Hacks For Trans Guys

[@luclaurent5131]

"changing rooms are the clothing equivalent of public bathrooms" I've been waiting for someone to point this out.

[@alex73217]

nerdyvampireloveslemons I like the non-gigantic shops where they have non gendered changing rooms because they only have a few :D

[@chaonis24601]

Wait.. you have gendered changing rooms? That's kinda odd to me. We have like a mens section and a womens clothing section with changing rooms but the rooms themselves don't have like a gendered sign and I'll regularly go to the other one when the changing room in the womens section is busy.

[@Marqkus]

Also gendered hygiene items, especially if there's different isles or whole sections for each gender. Like, wow.

[@gibmirdeinenieresonstknallts]

@@chaonis24601 Yo, same here. Like, at H&M or TkMaxx I've never seen any gendered changing rooms.

[@fen5932]

Luc Laurent yep, we have gendered changing rooms here... luckily I pass as a male though, for when you need an employee to unlock the door and they just assume what your gender is. also do girls don't see me go into the bus bathroom and think I'm crazy lol

[@candylover1232]

I'm cis female. I never thought that trans people put so much thought into just their clothes. It blows my mind that such subtle changes can do so much!

[@noahangus3618]

Ye we go through a LOT cause of f-ing dysphoria

[@BadgerLord]

yush, sometimes even non-binary people who don't want to pass as cis can find it difficult to shop for what they like because most of the time it either doesnt fit or doesn't suit for what they're trying to portray. im glad you as a cis female are watching things like this, can really educate people around you if one of your friends or family come out as trans or nonbinary or even just want to look masc ^_^

[@ZDragonimated]

yeah, to be honest, me neither i've been trying to pass as masc but i'm gonna have to pay attention to all of these things? well sh-

It's even harder if you are plus size.

Tips for small transguys: Don't be ashamed to buy from the boys' section! I'm 18 and very small (5ft3) and I fit in age 11-12 jeans from H&M because I can't fit into men's jeans (always so baggy- even skinny ones) and I don't want to buy women's jeans because fake pockets are gross. They're generally cheaper too as they have no VAT. :)

[@aleksanderterrance2824]

I Look Like a Toe I’m under 5ft personally being only 4’10 but buying boys clothes are like half my hip size.

[@dumpstercub2902]

All my jeans are kids jeans. They’re also stretchier and since I pretty much spend my day running around and fidgeting it really helps

[@georgiekelly1808]

Fake pockets are traumatising. I have a pair of jogging bottoms with out pockets and I always go to put my hands in my pockets just to find out that there aren’t any😭😭

1 topic at a time

[@alicaradec8545]

As a teen, I wore “men’s” trousers for as long as I possibly could until the rueful day when my hips had gotten so wide I couldn’t zip them up anymore. Just wanna say, guys, it’s okay to buy your trousers from the women’s section, too. Doesn’t make you any less of a guy. I sometimes need to remind myself of that fact XD

[@beelzebubbbx]

For me the problem isn't where I buy the jeans, but the fact that I have wide hips. I am not even trans, but i'm pretty dysphoric about my body. I'm too young to know if i'm trans, or if my "dysphoria" is just part of hormonal imbalances.

[@sausageroll3449]

i don't even zip them up lmao

[@tlsmith7585]

Gwen Caradec i know this is from 6 months ago but my advice is to wear high waisted jeans if you have to shop from the women’s - I feel that it hides the shape of the legs and hips p well

[@tlsmith7585]

Bubble_Milk high waisted (but wear them low rise so that you have more crotch space), also go for a straight cut so that the shape is less emphasised

[@whales2983]

i buy my jeans from the womens section because im too short for mens but too large for boys

[@sarahwardle5556]

When you said chest,hips,shoulders I automatically thought of the 'Heads,shoulders,knees and toes song' lol x

[@xanderpatterson4729]

[@niconiconiikillmeplease2286]

Some nice tips from a transmale: If you have 'thicc thighs' don't be worried people. Just find some noice jeans you like. Also here's a good tip if you DON'T want to enter the changing room: If it's jeans put the sides part of the trousers on your hips. If they fit perfectly across then get a size bigger. You can put on a belt but you can't widen trousers. Wear belts. But wear belt you can buy from the men's section. It'll actually give you a more masculine look. Black and plaid clothes are you friends. Black hides curves and plaid hides bumps. During the summer I wear a black t-shirt with a red and black plaid shirt over it and it helps me pass so much better. Find a mens cut that suits your face shape. Otherwise it won't look nice. Get men's deodorant if you want. It'll also help you pass better but get one YOU like. You're only here to impress yourself. That's some nice tips from a transmale.

[@orionalexandersummers6342]

Yes! DON’T WANT ENTER THE BLOODY CHANGING ROOMS! they’re the worst ass things i’ve came across thus far! Nice tips also considering I have thicc thighs! Also, at the black is your friends... My wardrobe is legit black!

[@KoalaBeAsh]

Also tip that I just discovered myself, for jeans/pants/trousers if you have some thighy legs go for "relaxed" or "athletic" fits and they'll have the room you need. I recently started to lose weight again and wanted to see if I could go back into "men's" pants after like 6 years so I'm not sure how long these new pant types have been around but they're made for more muscular types so it works out great. Hope this helps anyone who also didn't know these styles existed. Quick edit, for the "athletic" fit it seems (at least on the pants/trousers I've tried) they have more space in the thighs themselves and the legs are regular semi not too tight, not too loose fitting. While "relaxed" has room in both the thighs and legs. Also excuse the username (had it since I was a kid and can't find things not already taken), still figuring things out and enjoying just being able to finally look and dress the way I always wanted at the moment, but probably non-binary with a love for masculine clothing....if only I could get rid of this chest....

[@dandylion2775]

@@KoalaBeAsh hi! For chest, Jamie's tips are great, but you could look into binders---mine is from gc2b but I've heard wonderful things about Underworks as well. If you're closeted to your parents, you could tell them you want a binder for either a) cosplaying or b) (if in high school or above particularly) for hiding your chest from males because their attention makes you uncomfortable, so you're doing it to protect yourself. Look into ones you'd like beforehand, MEASURE YOUR CHEST (otherwise the binder may be too tight/too loose), and send them a link to the specific one you want; it helps if the description of it doesn't have "trans" or "transgender" in it but if your parents don't know what ftm is and it's in the description just come up with a fake meaning.

[@lampm4n]

yes i 100% agree!! i used to only have one pair of jeans and they’re from hollister and work really well for straightening out my legs if that makes sense

[@lisanneyang]

Im consious about my hips (though i dont have like huge hips or anything) but the thing ive noticed is that a lot of guys dont actually all have straight/narrow hips. So you might be selfconsious about it, but trust me when i say that a lot of guys even "skinnier" guys wont always necessarily have straight hips. So no one's gonna give you weird looks when you do have a more curvy/bigger hip area

[@mrgreenleafx]

ItsMeEvan My hips are my biggest problem at the moment (even though I do realise they are actually not all that big). Most men in fact don't have super straight or narrow hips, it's just really hard sometimes not to focus on them

[@none4530]

ItsMeEvan I had the same problem, and I found men’s slacks from Uniqlo worked really really well for me!!! And they have different colours and patterns

ItsMeEvan my boyfriend is a cis-male and he has slightly curvy hips. Barely but the curves are there and it makes me happy. It's something so small but nice :3 I used to hate my hips because I have super wide hips but I hate them a lot less lately

[@morganstiefvater2019]

A lot of the issue with hips, I feel, is how you move them when you walk. People watch for awhile and see the differences in how men and women walk, and practice, if it's something you'd want to change.

[@milksoda655]

Exactly! Barely anyone has completely non-curvy legs and hips. Noticing cis guys with those features has helped me a lot

Zipping up a jacket half way makes you seem flatter due to if there being any bumps still it looks like the zip is responsible plus LAYERS, that's what I find anyway might not work for everyone

[@jamiethegaymie]

Alex P. That does work for some people but I think it completely depends on the chest size and also how good your binder is. My binder is old and not great so when I try that trick it seems to excentuate my chest which obviously isn't good

[@tobiaseliot4716]

t-shirts over long sleeve shirts.. *chef's kiss*

[@merchantarthurn]

Major problem I have for passing is the size of my thighs and thinness of my neck. I might have some of the weirdest fat distribution I've ever seen... but if people are struggling with their neck feeling to "dainty", collars and hoods can really add a bit of bulk. Though at the same time, baseball shirts really do wonders for shoulders - and I think it's because they often seem designed to be tight on the arms but not the chest to accentuate arm muscles.

[@the1killjoy657]

At the moment being pre transition everything and also a larger human being, i don't even pass most of the time so clothes shopping thats not online is a time for me, but i will still get 'womens' jeans because actually i find that if you are like me and you maybe have some unwanted curves, getting trousers (especially) from the women's section helps in finding ones that fit properly and are comfy, and also if you are just going for a simple blue or black pair like me they really look no different than any other pair of jeans. I have essentially learnt that it doesn't matter where your clothes come from as long as you are comfortable in them :))

[@Noah-xg6ks]

This is what I've gathered from various articles: Jeans- Flat fronted Not tapered to the ankle Not skintight or too baggy (pinch fabric in back or thigh and look for about an inch) Maximize inseam length Slim fit or slim-straight fit are good first bets Shirts- No symmetrical patterns Snug in the arms and shoulders Loose but not oversized waist Vertical or diagonal stripes, never horizontal If casual, length should be about 2" lower than waist of pants Shoes: Avoid square toed Go for pointed or rounded toe Boots are generally more masc It's different for everyone but I hope these might help :)

[@thatmischievousanimefan]

As an american, I want to add (and I apologize if someone has already said this) that most "western" stores, or farm supply stores that sell clothes will have a HUGE wall of straight and boot cut jeans that come in a massive variety of sizes. They also tend to not have separate dressing rooms for men and women in my experience. I'm 5'4" with a 30in waist, and I rarely have trouble finding pants that fit. They do tend to be a bit on the pricier side, but they're also made for hard physical labor and will last *forever*.

[@lewinsky3779]

other honorable mentions include: - black clothing bc it hides the shadows that can form around your chest area - get shoes that are half a size too big then j wear big socks - instead of flip flop type sandals get more of the slide ones - get a thicker belt because guys tend to wear those more - wearing lower cut jeans can make your waist look lower down which gives you a more masculine silhouette

-Black basketball shorts that end just above your knees are your friend. The way they hang and the dark color minimize the shape of your bum and hips. Bonus points if you have any amount of leg hair. -Darker colors visually shrink, while paler colors visually enlarge. A black tank shirt will make your chest look smaller and your shoulders look bigger, especially if your skin is particularly pale. -Vertical stripes make you look taller and skinnier, horizontal stripes make you look shorter and thicker, and plaids and checkers are your best friend. The lines break up any curves they may fall over, increase the boxiness of your shape impression, and can stretch you out a bit if you're self conscious about your height. -Sleeves that are loose (but not baggy) and end right at your wrist OR your elbow are great. They make your arms look longer and increase your visual height by extension, and a properly fitting half or rolled sleeve can make your forearms look thicker. Short sleeves and overly long sleeves that go past your wrist can have the opposite affect, so if you can't find shirts the right length, learn a good sleeve roll technique. -Sunglasses are great, especially if you get a cheap dollar store pair that has those irridescent lenses and are shaped like a dudebro designed them.

[@e.s.r5809]

I have to admit I think learning to sew is the biggest game changer, especially if you're short with bigger hips. I don't bother with adult men's trousers any more, I buy boys' plus size and tailor down the waist. It's an easier modification than it seems. Unpick the waistband, pin in the side and back seams to account for rise, shorten the band with a new center back seam, and reattach. (If there's any concerns about this making curves look more prominent, nothing makes your butt look bigger than it really is like a gaping waistband.)

If there’s anyone watching this video that is heavy chested, and doesnt have a binder yet, i wouldn’t recommend baggy hoodies or baggy crewneck sweaters. i used to wear them all the time, and they barely worked, on top of not being very- idk- suitable. i never found they really looked good on me. if you want to go for a hoodie i’d say a zip up would be your best bet. also- if your heavy chested my favourite tip is to tuck in your shirt, and loosen it just enough so that it lays flat- or just draws your attention away from your chest.

[@TurmoilSneakers]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU!! I have a binder but this problem still happened with me thanks for the tip I will definitely use it! :)

[@rxtro_rainbow]

@@TurmoilSneakers ofc!! I’m so glad I’m able to help a fellow trans person. :-)

[@tomuraukami]

Tip from me! If you want a more masculine-looking face, use an eyeshadow that matches your hair and thicken the brow with the eyeshadow! It works well, for me at least!

If you have a men's consignment store in your area (or a good thrift store, if you can handle them), it can be a great way to try on a variety of brands and styles. I've been able to find lots of nice dress shirts, jeans, cardigans, and even a great pair of suspenders at my local men's consignment store, and it has really helped in figuring out what brands are cut in a way that fits well in both my chest and shoulders and what sizes and cuts of jeans I prefer. Usually, you can't return things, so braving the fitting rooms is required, but the variety and reasonable prices are worth it.

As a gender fluid female this helped me out a lot. Thank you :) Some days I just wish I didn't have a chest so this helps me feel better about my body and know what to wear when i feel that way.

[@whenitgrowsbright]

Tip: Emo clothing and the colour black really work nice to hide it all.

[@nina-ww8rq]

u look so handsome in this video

[@jamiethegaymie]

n i n a he looks handsome in all his videos :")

[@blurryphan7578]

yes! About the changing rooms... I always feel like a perv if I (a female) are going to walk into the mens. I stop myself but sometimes, you see, I shop in that area. I like the fit of the pants better and some of the shirts. Especially when I'm looking for more traditionally masculine clothing. I hate then taking that "male" clothing to the women's side and having to show the attendant what clothes I'm taking in... I usually get a confused face or questioned if I know I'm going to try on male clothing. It's not always prominent by the cuts.. but the tags will say "for men" or have a brand ONLY placed in the men's section...

[@blackrose999997]

Do you have any tips for making your voice deeper before starting T?

[@lowri974]

blackrose999997 you can start an online/real life voice course/coach to naturally lower your voice

[@blackrose999997]

lowri is typing Thank you.

[@MyWifesBigBalls]

Open your throat when you speak. Listen to other/lighter men's voices and try to sound as realistic as those. Do voice training; speak to yourself at night or try even singing in that voice.

[@midnightfedora]

Practice your voice by recording it and listening to it that way- I've found it's helped a lot with understanding that my voice isn't really as high as I keep thinking it is, and that from an outside perspective it probably isn't too bad. It also helps to make sure you're not lowering your voice too much, because you have to be insanely careful when doing it. It's super easy to wreck your voice by pitching it down, so having a way to know when to bring it up is helpful

[@anix8047]

If you do manage to lower your pitch, focus on speaking from your throat and chest rather than your face. No matter how low your pitch is, more nasally voices tend to get read as female, and higher-pitched voices can still be read as male if they're throat voices rather than face voices.

[@andirogynous5406]

Idk why, but bunching up long sleeves to or just below your elbows raises the masc factor by a lot.

[@gas_on_my_hands8283]

as a transmasc that is also very short (5’2) i found that rue21 has men’s jeans that actually fit me? like the only men’s pants or shorts that have really ever fit me, and even then it the length and width the jeans were weren’t the ones that I measured. so it’s really good to try things out, just go places and try stuff on that is closer to your measurements because it’s possible that the store’s sizing is wonky

Something that helps me a lot is wearing kind of loose gym pants and a crop top to my hip hop lessons. I have a black sports bra with no cups and when my shirt comes up while I dance, it looks like I’m wearing a binder. I don’t know why, but this kind of helps me. (Still can’t wait to replace my bra with an actuall binder, though).

[@namenotfound0]

I came out as trans and for years been wearing multiple tank tops to hide my chest and I’m excited to get my first binder

[@emn7567]

[@sharktoothjack8854]

Finding a comfortable belt was my biggest breakthrough. Wearing a belt makes me feel so much better about how I look. I started out with a plastic-y one that dug into my hips and just felt uncomfortable, and thought I didn't like belts, but I changed my mind when I tried canvas or genuine leather ones.

[@notherelol]

I love and wish I had your hair. My hair may be short now, but THE CURL IN YOUR HAIR IS SO GOOD LOOKING

Motorcycle jackets are also really good at making the shoulders look broader while making the chest look amazing at the same time

[@maxpoorly]

My absolute favorite style of jeans is American Eagle's slim straight jeans! They are slightly stretchy and fit really well around your hips and thighs. I usually wear those, black t shirts, plaid button ups as jackets, and Vans Hi Tops, as well as a binder and a packer. Pro tip? Put a wallet in your back pocket. Vans sells some really nice ones, they are checkered, hella masculine. If you are in school, black backpacks are an awesome way to merge coolness and masculinity into one thing. Go for neutral colors, avoid designs on t-shirts, and stick to darker colored t-shirts. Jeans are the best kind of bottom, I prefer acid washed and ripped jeans, they help draw attention away from the actual shape of my legs and hips, and dark colors don't show lumps or curves super easily. If you have a phone or computer, a dark, minimalistic phone case or laptop case is always a safe bet. For the most part, unless you have a packer or STP, avoid gray sweatpants, it's a clear sign that nothing is there. When you get haircuts, look at styles that have short sides and long tops, or buzz cuts. As long as the sides are short, it's obvious you are a guy. Another thing I've tried that has worked wonders for me, I am a bit chubby and round, if you want to make your face look more angled and masculine, I've found that septum piercings or a notch in an eyebrow does the trick. In the age of COVID, black masks are your BEST friend. Good luck!

[@_darcy4027]

i can't wait for the day I can wear a regular t-shirt and not hate it -dan

[@nolanthenormal1542]

what I usually do is since I my parents won't let me get a binder I just wear a t-shirt and a flannel over it because flannel really helps to make you look flatter.

[@morganstiefvater2019]

One thing with pants to make hips look less noticeable is to not belt around your waist. Buckle your belt around the widest part of your hips, because it makes it less obvious that your waist goes in further up.

[@BandieDiamanda]

we have the same type of hair jamie :D also yall i just love the vibe of this comment section it's so wholesome

[@calamityjean1525]

Having a full-length mirror and an honest & sympathetic friend might help you decide on clothes.

[@jasonellis4330]

I used to wear bootcut jeans EXCLUSIVELY because that's just the only cut I thought worked on me. Then I started wearing straight, because they didnt have my size in bootcut, and JESUS the amount of hip dysphoria that fixed. Bootcut would exaggerate my hips and thighs somehow which straight dont. Also, the reason I live in flannel type shirts is because I have pretty broad shoulders but an obvious waist, so if the shirt is baggy it just falls past my waist and makes me look square

A couple of months ago, my mother was on the phone with her friend, and she said that if I came out as male, she’d be a bit surprised, but accepting. I came out last week and she flat out ignored me. I told her my name is millan and that i was a boy. And she said ok. And the next day she referred to me and my birth name, and called me she/her all day, not even attempting to correct herself.

[@alexivanova8264]

[@ashanders9518]

I equally know why I am watching it as my school uniforms top is SEE THROUGH and body tight. To top we have to wear a SKIRT. I hate it soooo much. Plus I can’t wear a binder as again my uniform is see through!!

[@valkeakirahvi]

Sounds horrible.

[@mattburgess3307]

Personally I find v-necks work better for me; not a deep v-neck, but still a v-neck. This is only because I use a gc2b binder and I find a v-neck follows the line of the neck of my binder better, whereas crew necks come a bit too high, so the line of the binder neck shows a bit. I think it's trial-and-error though really, and depends on various factors!

[@tepe9369]

i find v necks draw direct attention to my chest. maybe its bc i'm already naturally pretty flat, but v necks always make an arrow kinda shape on me and it doesnt work haha glad they work for you though! i find a lot of shirts that are v necked and cant wear em lol

[@finnChitwood]

Another big tip is if you want to look taller, or at least draw attention away from your lack of tallness: avoid pants with a short inseam, so like baggy pants with lower crotches (cargo pants, cargo shorts, baggy jeans) and lean more into the pants with longer inseams like skinny or slim fit jeans. high waisted jeans can also lend to making you look taller but they also generally draw attention to your hips so its a gamble there. tl;dr: baggy pants with low crotches make the figure short, slimmer pants make the figure tall because inseam length

[@xShotgunKitty]

You look like you’ve been working out. Looking good, friend! And now I’m off to have some pie as it’s Thanksgiving here in the states.

At the moment I only want to wear my one pair of cargo pants 😅 Definitely a fashion choice but I love the look and they hide my hips quite well, oh and they are super comfortable!

[@DrachenGothik666]

Well, I was hoping for more of a demonstration of styles, rather than just description. Visuals are usually more useful for folks, in my experience. Can spark their imaginations, too. I'm not sure what your friend circle is like, but perhaps you could try doing a vid like this again, but as a demo with them? Get some folks together who are a variety of sizes from skinny to pudge, short to taller, and have them bring some of their fave clothes that they look fab in and do a bit of a fashion show. If you know any other trans-guy youtubers who might find it a fun idea, maybe do a fashion tips vid with them teleconference style. Or, collaborate to edit clips together of your tips and ideas. Maybe even do them both together with your friends and the KZbin folks (or maybe they're your friends, too--I have no idea). :-)
