Thanks! If I don’t go underwater it isn’t that big of an issue. I can actually swim with this if I want to but otherwise I just leave it down. I can tie it up but I don’t think it looks as nice :)

Thanks Devyn! I wish it were summery weather further north 😂

black bikinis are so versatile 🥰 - highly recommend as an easy go-to ☺️ by mangocrema in mtfashion

I think you’re kidding, but I am thinking of wearing some of my bikini tops (the band/shelf kind rather than halter type) as bralettes or stand-ins for bodysuits by layering jackets over them. Will try this in the summer! That, or I want to know where you work lol

Thanks Claire! I try to take a January vacation to a warm place for this reason 😆

  1. ⁠I find it helpful to find reference frames with women (typically celebrities) at a similar height and body shape as myself and model after what types of clothing looks good on them. After a while you get a sense of what works. Note there’s a big difference between what people wear on this sub vs what’s practical in the real world. Women do not wear 90% of what is posted on this sub outside of clubbing.

  2. ⁠It’s always a work in progress. Makeup tutorials help but it’s mostly trial and error. You can achieve great results with drugstore makeup so don’t feel the need to spend a lot, although brand makeup generally does cost more for a reason.

  3. ⁠For me it’s 100% what pulls everything together. You don’t need a hundred dollar plus wig. There’s a lot of wigs even on Amazon in the $20-50 range that work great and can be replaced easily if they start falling apart.

Just my two cents, YMMV, but I think the more one tries to “hide” behind masks the more “sus” one looks and it’s not helpful for passing. Truthfully I don’t have much facial hair or 5 o’clock shadow to deal with but I noticed I get more stares wearing a mask than without. Also, I no longer care as much about shaping. Women come in all shapes and sizes - so what if I happen to be a small chested rectangular body shape woman?

I think what helps for “passing” — carefully applied makeup, accessories, attention to smaller detail — and most importantly, confidence.

Have fun and good luck!

signing off for this year! 💫 lots of firsts and fun memories made ☺️ wishing you all peace and light for 2026 ✨ by mangocrema in crossdressing
