It's come to my attention that I may be better at blending in and socializing than a lot of people on the spectrum. So I decided to start this thread.

List your occupation, age, weight, height and build. What you hope to achieve in life, why you wanna change or alter your look. I will pick something from head to toe :).

What do I wear if I'm female to male trans and I want to keep creepy guys from looking at me? I don't want those creeps guessing my birth gender. I'm 5-8 and I weigh 280 lbs. :wink:

Vaguely what body type are you?. Do I need to pick something that will disguise feminine curves?. Also vague descriptions of your hobbies will help me pick a style that will make you happy long term. Instead of forcing you to wear something that doesn't express who you are as a person.

How are you gonna do this without knowing someone's skin color, or coloring (or Season)?

For instance, someone who is black, looks FABULOUS in turquoise. Someone who is a Summer, should NOT wear red.

I was thinking in a more professional ambiguous sense, but it is a good point that some members may not know the basics. I put the bare minimums in my initial post trying not to make people feel uncomfortable or generalized. If someone wants me to pick out a specialized outfit like someone in a beauty magazine I can. I figured whoever was willing to ask for advice would guide me in the direction of what they want and I could add what I know to it. Rather than say a+b=c. I'll add your suggestion though, it'll save me some time :).

If you're shy about giving lots of personal details feel free to pm me. It can be a little daunting to give up your online ambiguity. If you choose to do so please keep it professional :).

Off the top of my head I'd suggest you wear bulky top layers, slim straight jeans with a cuff and leather boots. You'd also want to pick a hairstyle that will play up any masculine features in your face.

Think Thick shirts, crew hoodies and plaid shirts. You don't want jeans that are too baggy since that can look sloppy if they aren't tailored. Too skinny of a cut will attract eyes to curves.

I'd recommend looking through this site for inspiration. If you can't afford their clothes H&M or Wal-Mart should have comparable options.

If you're willing to attract more attention to yourself by having a more culturally accepted persona. Any rockers edge can integrate you into the new Liberal subculture of artists which can be more open minded. Khakis, plaids and brown leathers should be a safe bet. Don't be afraid to wear all black.

I like the para-military and retro military style. I wear cargo camo pants, a m65 style jacket and I like wearing aviator style sunglasses.
Bodytype: muscular
Weight: 230 lb/104kg

Ditto. My mom's ex-military and I got her fatigues. Being a 5'10" hourglass I can pull off masculine styles pretty well. So long as hair and makeup look feminine and the small waist is accentuated hetero chicks can pull it off well.

Sounds like a cool style for you. Do you have any pics to add to the thread?. I'm fond of this style on guys since it suits many body types well.
