I know that trans folks are all over the map in how they dress when in public. I’ve never been one to try to blend in because I don’t think that is really possible for me. Therefore, I describe how I dress as Stylish, but probably never exactly In Style. I like styles from the 50’s up to the 90’s and have no problem with mixing eras. I have some jewelry that is 50 years old or more. I have dresses from the 60’s. It’s more about an attractive style and color that suits me personally and physically. Anyway, please do the survey and discuss why you do what you do, if you like…

SK:
While I don’t do low cut or back out, I have no problem with short skirts, short skorts and short shorts. For variety, I do have some calf length and floor length pieces, but you have to factor in that I live in the desert with some summer days at 122F. Plus, I may BE old (71), but I have no intention of LOOKING old…
My wife uses that term “Hoochie Mama” i think it is cute. She once told me not to look like some “hoochie mama” when i was planning a shopping trip..She is always worried that i will buy and wear something that will not be appropriate for my age. All woman are young of heart. We all want to feel cute and be pretty. That is why we need other woman in our lives just to let us know in sweet way your not a teenager any more. I believe my wife’S interpretation is do not buy anything too short or that shows too much skin. In other words do not draw any attention to your self in a sexual way. “Girls want to have fun” luv Stephanie
Hi Girls,
It sounds like I am one of the more casual gals so far.. My everyday attire consists of a pair of Lee or Levi’s skinney jeans, a top and I Love wearing high heel ankle boots. However, if I am going to work I wear Ladie’s Sketcher black work boots and every once in a while, I will wear an old pair of guy jeans if I’m going to get real dirty. (I don’t like messing up my nicer clothes.)
When I first decided to begin cross dressing again after a 20 year break, I hit the stores spending way too much money on dresses, skirts, tops, hose and shoes and I rarely wear any of it now since coming out and living as a woman again. I think my taste in clothing has changed somewhat since deciding to transition and my lifestyle doesn’t warrant me wearing skirts and dresses daily. Maybe in time!?
Also, I think I dress a lot like other woman in their 50’s, and maybe a bit younger. I get a lot of compliments on my footwear from other woman who tell me that their daughter would kill for my boots!!

One of the things I did when I first started my journey was to spend a lot of time observing women of all ages and studying how they dressed and presented themselves. Unfortunately, I discovered that a lot of the women in my age group tended to be a bit “frumpy” when they were out in public. I think that my Mother suspected something of what I was, because I can remember her making little comments to me growing up like “Ladies never to out with curlers in their hair”, Lady always wears lipstick when she goes out”, and “Look your best when you go out”. I tend to dress mostly a bit younger than my age, I’m not into the “Senior” polyester look. I wear mostly skinny jeans or capris or shorts, depending on the weather – today is a shorts day in Florida, and a colorful t-shirt top or a bit more fancy top if I’m going to run errands. In the summer, I move to tank tops. When the mood strikes, I’ll head to one of my dresses and heels, mostly for when I’m out and about.

At 62 yo, I dress for my age but certainly not like a grandma, LOL. Most people say I look 10, 15 years younger than I actually am but no way could I go around wearing the short dresses that women wear in their 20’s and 30’s. Whether I’m in a cocktail dress or jeans and a blouse, I love to have a bit of elegance to my look that I think does come off as a lady in her 50’s. Dressing that way allows me to blend in and be passable.

In some ways I do dress a tad younger than my age, but as I suspect most women do that I am just dressing the same as my age group! I dress for comfort and practicality (at the moment many layers to keep warm) so I’m hardly stylish.
If it works for me I’ll keep on wearing it, and when it wears out I’ll repair or replace it.
Oh, and thanks (I think?) for introducing me to the term “Hoochie Mama”. I guess being a Brit such things pass me by.
Jasmine, the term refers to provocative clothes that one would wear for clubbing, but NOT limited to that situation.

At home, quite simple but sexy. I wear things I wouldn’t wear in public unless I was headed to a costume party! Normally just an oversize t-shirt with some eye-catching pantyhose or tights. I have a lot of fetish items like Zentai suits, Latex items, Cosplay and encasement type things. As well, I have fetish shoes and boots with 8-12 inch heels and thick platforms.
Socially, I prefer a knee-length long-sleeve dress and matching heels, or a skirt with a tunic or leggings with a tunic. I don’t want to draw too much attention to myself, but compliments are always welcome.
