How To Find Clothing As A Cross-Dressing Man

Whether you’re searching for a special occasion outfit or everyday items, finding clothing as a cross-dressing man can be daunting. With a few helpful tips and key resources, however, you can begin to establish your wardrobe. Here's how to start.

Steps

1. Understand your personal style. What do you want to express through clothing? What colors and types of clothing do you like? Are you looking for a conservative or daring style? Knowing this ahead of time will help you be more successful in finding clothing that suits you.
2. Consider your budget. How much do you have to spend? Research prices of different items, compare prices online and in-store, and check for discounts to stay within your means.
3. Shop online. With hundreds of retailers, there’s a lot of online options when looking for men’s clothing. Consider looking for gender-neutral online stores that cater to both men and women. Examples may include brands such as RompHim and TomboyX.
4. Check out consignment stores. Many thrift stores carry fun and affordable options, and you may be able to find something unique that fits your own personal style.
5. Research stores that cater directly to the cross-dressing community. Many clothing companies specialize in plus and petite sizes as well as material such as lace and tulle. These stores carry items specifically designed for cross-dressers.
6. Ask for help. If you’re having difficulty finding clothing in your size, consider seeking assistance from a fashion consultant or personal shopper. You can also consult friends or family members who may be familiar with cross-dressing.

Tips

• When shopping online, make sure to read reviews to ensure the item is good quality and true to size.
• Follow hashtags related to the cross-dressing community for ideas and inspiration, such as #crossdressing and #crossdresser.
• Invest in a few good pieces of basics (such as black trousers, a blazer, long-sleeved shirts) that can be accessorized to create different looks and outfits.
• Look for individual tailors or dressmakers who may be willing to custom make clothing, especially if you’re looking for something unique or can’t find something to fit you.
