What's Your Guystyle?


Guest Nikk

Recommended Posts

Okay, now I know plenty of women hang 'round this part of the forum, so I'm bringing the boys back (some of us do care what we look like *hairflip*). So recently, I went shopping at that lovely store called Target, and I realized that I had some sort of style - a general type of clothing that I like to wear.

I either like really classy clothes, such as pinstripe vests and fedoras, or very chill clothes, such as short-sleeved collared shirts, screen tees, and jeans. Always with rubber-slippers or sneakers, often with a pendant necklace and some simple unfemme earrings.

So here's the question for you: What's your guystyle?

I found this out recently too. I thought I was just all about comfort until yesturday when I had to go through all my clothes to get rid of the ones that don't fit. I think it is time to just make a list.

1- Black screen t-shirts.

2- Polo shirts (short sleeve collared shirts).

3- Any other color screen t-shirts.

4- Jeans.

5- Work clothes (Dickies brand pants and shirts).

Wow. For as much stuff as I have in my closet I really don't have a lot of variety.

I kind of have 2 styles, one for going out with friends/being in public, then my chill style for hanging around home or with my family. I have no idea what my style would be classified as...I generally get "pretty boy" or "trendy gay guy" when people describe my going out style, lol.

Going out: I like polo shirts, khaki cargo shorts, and flip flops or nice sneakers for warm weather. Then, I like button-down shirts, sweaters, and fitted but still masculine jeans for when it gets cold. Usually paired with dress shoes or nice boots. I like to look good when I go out. :)

Chillin: This is my lazy style, haha. Graphic tees and baggy cargo shorts or jeans usually work for family gatherings. Gym shorts, tees, and hoodies for when I'm just hanging around the house.

I'm all about jeans and TShirts on an everyday. With approx 16 white Ts and 9 Black I think thats a fair statement lol. My mother recently had to be here helpin me after surgery and was like "why do you have so many black Tshirts?" Then she looked in the armoir and saw the two stacks of just white Ts and was silent like she thought "ok, you're just wierd" lol. No screens, no lettering,just solid. I do like polo shirts but only actually own 3. I'll wear blue jeans but have a thing for black. I'm actually more particular about gym shoes when I'm in this mode than shirts , and typically go with KSwiss. -Yup a white pair and one black pair.

When its time toget out of the jeans though, the color range expands, greys, heather, sand, slacks with windowpane , pinstripe vests, ties with serious prints on them in every color combination there is. I like suspenders too, even if I don't wear em I'm drawn to buy em depending on the style (I like the leather tabbed ones) and esp. if they have a decorative print (I been lusting after a particular Jaquard print pair for a while). I like "muted" colors like greyish green or smokey brown. I also have a "weaknes " for Stacy Adams (would that I could afford it, but I make sure everyone knows in case they want to get me a Christmas present lol), right down to the socks. My favorite shirt labels though are Lucassini and Villa DeMarco a ) price b )styling c ) excellent fit for me.

I'm kind of a prep, B). I mostly wear tan, dark blue, or brown trousers or shorts made out of khaki material. Occasionally jeans, but jeans tend to look silly on me. I only have grey tackies, so in the winter I'll either wear those or black or brown dress shoes. In the summer though, I'm a flip flop kind of guy, except if it's dressy and then I'll wear boat shoes. I usually wear a long sleeved button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the top two buttons opened with a white undershirt under that. My button down shirts are mostly white or blue. For the winter, I've a few sweaters and sweatshirts and the like. I almost always wear a belt. My ties are pretty boring, except for these two that this girl bought me for Christmas one year -- one is orange with little ducks flying on it, and the other is a neon pink purple, which I wore to a jazz gig once and has otherwise stayed in my closet.

guystyle?...hmm....this is a hard one.

I tend to I guess wear gray or white shirts with grey/black/blue denim shorts or jeans.

I have a biker (leather) jacket for winter to go with black jeans, gray puritan shirt, and Adio sneakers.

I'm not really sure what my style is...I used to wear all black, until I found out I had dandruff...Purple's an okay color...sorta...

I wont wear read though...makes the binding stand out too much.

I am a jeans an t shirt kind of guy B)

Due to the fact that the T and combinations of other things make me feel like a raging inferno all the time - I am more actually a shorts and t shirt kind of guy.

I wear shorts when it snows - people give me funny looks but I am still sweating <_<

I wear a lot of polos and khakis for work but I wear a lot of shorts and polos to work as well.

Around the house - shorts and a t shirt. I will wear a sweatshirt in a blizzard so I don't get yelled at but it is rediculous how hot I am.

Graphic tshirts constantly, combined with jackets or long-sleeved shirts (layers, woo!) when it's cold. I wear cargo pants a lot despite never using half the pockets. I don't have a lot of clothes and hardly ever get the chance to go shopping for more, but if it were all up to me I'd wear pretty much every color in the spectrum. I <3 color, especially ones that stand out :D

...And if I were rich, I'd wear a different pair of Vans/low-top Converse every day, ahaha.

I'll do almost anything for fish. Sea trout are good, but mackerel are my favorite. If we're having a fish bonding experience, I'll bring the mackerel.

LOL :lol:

That made me laugh.

;) I try.

I find that when I'm looking for clothes, I want them to be really nice. Even if it's jeans and a t-shirt, I don't really like it to be plain and everyday.

When I take a look at my clothes, I really love polo shirts, to an unhealthy level. Any time I see one in the stores, it takes all the effort I can (plus empty pockets) to get me to not break down and buy one. And when I like a polo, 90% of the time they've got stripes, even though they're not so flattering on me.

My trans friends have commented that I wear pretty tight t-shirts a lot, and I would have to agree. I can't stand being in clothes that are too big for me (which, when you've got a figure like mine, does not make anything easier).

If I were smaller (as well as other bodily changes) I would actually consider wearing a pair of skinny jeans. I have no idea what would happen after that (other than passing out from lack of blood circulation).

LOL I have a couple of Tripp Pants NYC; one girl style and one mens...the girl style looks like men's on me since I'm so short and it makes them baggy. I always wanted a fishnet top for one of those techno raves :)

I tend to think of it as a LACK of style. But anyway, it's similar to how I dressed in girl stuff before. I mostly like graphic tshirts, jeans, hoodies, sometimes I'd go for something like a waistcoat or blazer if I don't want to look too lazy. I like a bit of jewlerry too, like those necklaces and bracelets with wooden beads. For shoes, I tend to go down the 'converse or similar' route. I like bright colours too, but mostly green and blues since they look best on me (in my opinion at least). Only problem is, I don't always like wearing baggy things but I can't find any mens clothes that fit me in a non-baggy way, since I'm sort of thin even for a girl.

i normally wear a tee shirt and jeans or shorts. i want to wear button downs with either vertical stripes or an image but tis out of my price range. i especially like the button down shirt tucked into jeans with a sweater vest ontop of the shirt.

Let me see.

When I dress I usually tend to stand to the classic 'band tee and cargo shorts' or I wear an undershirt and a open dress shirt over it. I'm actually lacking on male pants, so I have to go and fix that, but I like to dress either classy or really relaxed, everything from sweats, to interview clothes. It's lovely because I dress similar as a girl, so I don't have to change my mindset a lot for shopping for male clothes.

I was at Target recently as well! Though I only got an athletic compression t, deodorant (Red Spice ftw) and a pack of boxers.

I don't have much of a guy style yet. I mostly just go for laid-back jeans and t-shirts. I like v-necks, but with my chest can't really pull them off (maybe one day). But I love vests, scarves, and cowboy boots. The most formal outfit I have is kakis, white button down, a blue tie and a red sweater vest (Because sometimes I get cold, just right there).

Most of my guy clothes are from Goodwill, and I got them several years ago for the occasional geeky cross-play (anime conventions are wonderful places). They're also too big, so I just end up looking silly when I wear them.

I dont know how hard they are to get in the UK but you might want to try to get your hands on a pair of Levi's relaxed fit. They aren't going to be tight or baggy and its becoming more and more popular here in the US. I think 28inches on the waist and 28 or 29 on the inseam is the smallest they make them. They are pretty cheap as well. Hope it helps

Feen, you have excellent fashion sense (or: we dress similarly, which I think is both awesome and kind of funny). Although I have a feeling that Lewis with his styles wouldn't deign to be seen walking around with guys like us (only joking you, Lewis :P ).

Raging, where do you get your sweater vests from? (I have trouble believing I just typed that sentence.)

      Not all conservatives are for Trump.  I am far from thrilled he is running.  Just wanted to make that clear.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Anybody willing to present the case for Trump? Any conservatives out there?
    • MaeBe
      Two words(?): Project 2025   Please provide links to the "political calculus" referred to, I'd be interested to know where this is coming from. It seems odd that anyone would be advocating to vote in a President that has stated that he will try to use the federal government to go after LGBTQ+ people because voting back Biden, that is not doing that, might cause some state legislatures to put forth more discriminatory laws.   LGBTQ+ people are not safe in a MAGA future.
    • Ashley0616
      It's awesome that you have had such a great friend in your life! I could only imagine what losing felt like to you. It's neat that you worked for the airlines. Did you take advantage of the space availability fights? My dad worked for Northwest and always flew every single summer except one where we drove from north Mississippi to Phoenix, AZ. My parents agreed to never do that again lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      The trans community won't be good under Trump at all. Biden is the one who has done more for the trans community than any other presidents. Last time Trump was in office he was at an LGBTQ rally and his support went quickly away from us because the majority of the voters are anti trans. He is going to get rid of our rights and also come after the rest of LGBTQ.  I don't know where you heard we would be better under Trump.    Trump unveils sweeping attack on trans rights ahead of 2024 (axios.com)   Trump Promises to Go After Trans People if Re-Elected (vice.com)   Trump promises to ban transgender women from sports if re-elected (nbcnews.com)

      Post 7 “The Pittsburgh Years” When I retired from the Army, we moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania because I had been hired by US Airways to work in their flight training department.  The transition to civilian life was a bit of an adjustment, but I never really looked back.  At the same time, I was excited at the prospect of having more Sally time. But with work and two teenage boys in the house, getting to be Sally was a challenge.    The biggest issue in this regard were my sons, as they didn’t know about my feminine side.  My wife and I discussed, in great detail, whether or not to tell them.  If they had known about Sally, it would have been much easier to actually be Sally when I wanted to.  But I still didn’t know exactly where my transgender journey was going to take me, and this uncertainty was the primary reason my wife and I decided it wasn’t the right time to tell them about Sally.  Except for the convenience it would afford me, we didn’t think it was fair to burdened them with such a sensitive family secret if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.  If at some point things changed and it looked like I might be heading towards transition, my wife and I agreed we would revisit our decision.   Despite having to tiptoe around the boys I was able, with my wife often running interference for me, to significantly increase my girl time.  The nature of my variable work schedule meant that often days off occurred during the week when the boys were in school, and on those days, I took full advantage of the time.  Additionally, I had discovered a new trans friend through a local support group, and my wife, ever and always accommodating, ensured I had time for outings with my new friend.    Willa, my new friend, quickly became my best friend, and after only a short time, she and my wife became quite close as well.  With Willa’s help, I would soon discover that Pittsburgh was a very trans friendly city.  Together, she and I made the town our own.  We attended the theater, the symphony, we went out to dinner regularly, and I think we visited every museum in the city.  With Willa’s support and friendship, I was actually becoming quite the girl about town.    Willa and I had a lot in common.  We loved to shop, we had similar feminine styles, and we had similar views and feelings about being trans.  In fact, our frequent and deep discussions about transgender issues helped me begin to understand my transgender nature.  Having Willa as a springboard for all topics transgender, was probably as effective as regularly visiting a therapist.  I would never discount anyone’s desire to seek professional help, but having an unbiased confidant, can also be an effective method for self-discovery.    Exploring the city as Sally and spending time with Willa was instrumental in helping me understand my transgender nature, and would begin shaping my transgender objective.  My feelings about the kind of girl I was and where I wanted to go began to solidify.  Being out and socializing as Sally in a big city like Pittsburgh, taught me I could express my femininity without issue.  I honestly felt confident I could live my life as a woman; however, remaining completely objective, I just couldn’t see giving up the life I’d built as a man.   At that time, I was being heavily influenced by the concept of the gender binary, which had me thinking I had to choose between being a man or being a woman.  It was Willa who reminded me there were no rules requiring gender identity to be binary.  During one of our deep discussions, she posited the idea of enjoying both genders, something she was doing, and a concept that made a lot of sense to me.  I was already living the life of a part-time woman, so I simply started paying more attention to how that was making me feel.    One characteristic that was dominating my feminine self-expression (and it continues to this day) was that when I was Sally, I was “all in.”  When I became Sally, it was such a complete transformation that I truly felt like a woman.  The feeling was powerful, and if I had to describe it another way, I’d say it was akin to an actor, so into the part, they actually become the character they are portraying.  That was me, and I discovered that this level of depth was extremely fulfilling, and that feeling tended to last long after transitioning back to my male persona.  Part-time womanhood it seemed, was actually working for me.    Eventually, a job change forced me to move away from Pittsburgh, but the enlightenment I experienced while living there has shaped the nature of my bi-gender personality to this day.  Even after leaving, Willa and I remained the best of friends.  We had many more adventures, some of which I will detail in later posts.  Sadly, Willa passed away two-years ago after contracting a prolonged illness.  Her loss was hard to take and I miss her dearly.  However, I have so many fond memories of our times together, and because her support helped shape me, she lives on in my heart.   Hugs,   Sally

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously? 
    • Ashley0616
    • Abigail Genevieve
      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
