Skinny Jeans - Good Or Bad?


Guest Thorndrop

Never really been something I bothered with, but I tried some on today and in my opinion, they don't look bad.. As stated though, it's my opinion, which ain't always right. I knoe they're probably one of the hardest things to get away with if you're trans, but I have a pretty boyish figure anyway (lucky me! :D ) and was wondering if they make me look curvy or not? I really liked them though, and was practically ecstatic at finding a pair of jeans that fit me (26-28 waist and not super short).

I KNOW I don't pass great. Ignore the face. In terms of my body, does this look work?

I'm not 100% sure what look you're actually going for, but no, the jeans don't make you look curvy, and they're quite nice.

If it's a male look you're going for, the shirt in the second picture probably isn't a good idea, mens shirts are typically not v-neck, they're more like the one in the top picture. It works as an androgynous kind of look though.

Well, Hon....if you like them..that's your call...

But, let me tell you, I wear skinny jeans to look more feminine ...

I love them and it's all I ware..girls skinny jeans...

You should hear me after work laying back on my bed trying to get out of the dang things...

My wife will finally come in to help me get them off..she gets tired of hearing me cuss and yell and wiggle and fuss...

But, years back, I wore skinny jeans as a guy in rock bands, so I guess that it's not that unusual at all....

Up to you, Hon!

I think the skinny jeans look nice.

Here, everyone wears them (they either wear a lot of skinny jeans or a lot of very baggy jeans). They've gotten to become a genderless type of clothing, but that's just my observation.

i think with the top which looks slightly fitted. the outfit looks feminine, although you might pass for a gay guy.

but pair it with a big, black, straight up and down, at least a size too big t-shirt with the name of some sort of band written across it and i think it'd instantly be there.

Thanks.. Wearing things too big is uncomfortable for me though. And since I'm already underweight, it draws attention to that and makes me look weird. :S

I'm not bothered about looking overly masculine, just as long as it's not particularly feminine either. All I really wanted to know is does it give me 'curves'..

the jeans don't but you see where the top comes in slightly around your stomach. that's done on purpose on womens clothes to make your hips look wider. a men's t-shirt would be straight down, and unless they're really skinny, will tend to always dress in loose clothing, it doesn't have to be huge, but mens sizes are just kinda made to be a little baggy, and it looks right on them. Women's clothes are all fitted and they're supposed to be tight, which is why with my current bulging stomach i'm wearing a 22 top and 16 jeans. i could wear an 18 top which would be about the correct size if i didn't mind it showing my gut off. It seems a few FTMs are still kinda used to the idea that clothes should conform to the shape of your body but that's just not how guy's clothes work. Unless you're like super ripped.

It's a guys top. Both the tops I'm wearing are.. And I'm not 'ripped' as such, just skinny, and like I said, wearing baggier things makes me look like a stick. *has proof*

yeah ok. accepted.

tho do you look very masculine there, and quite angry, but you look like you're at tops 13 maybe even younger.

i would certainly read you as a young boy.

Hi Thorndrop ,

Last pic you dont look any different than any ""lightweight"" young guy.

As you transition ,in time, your bod will beef up and you will look more mannish .

Let time etc ((T ?)) do its stuff hun,,,,you will be fine,,,, luv,viv :)

Eh.. I've shown people that last photo before and been told I look like a little kid. Personally, I don't mind, but I'd rather look a tad closer to my real age (17). I'm happy with my figure as it is - I don't particularly want to 'beef up', I just don't want to emphasise the 'lightweight'-ness, as you put it, either. :P

Actually I don't plan on taking T.. My own reasons. I'm not overly bothered if I pass as long as I don't do anything that unknowingly makes me look more girly.

They look great on you. I'd take you for a teenage emo boy with that look. Definitely not curvy. Agreed, the fitted top is a feminine cut. I'd disagree about V-necks though. I have some guy v-necks. Mind you, what I know about guy fashion would fit on a washing instructions label :lol:

I have to agree that you are not curvy at all. I would also say if you added weight it might just add the curves that you don't want. Do whatever makes you happy and if that is staying slim than stay slim. As far as the jeans go, don't worry a thing. They look good on you.

Love,

Sarah F

I personally really love skinny jeans. *Insert camp-tastic wrist flick :P* I lucked out being fairly slender with a masculine pattern of fat distribution. (well...mostly. I like food too much to be as skinny a guy as Thorndrop. And I have those growths...)

I think the only feminizing effect they have on you is showing how your legs tilt in at the knees (which is how your bones are structured to compensate for your hips; your legs, regardless of your sex, are designed to meet at the ankles. So they'll go at a wider angle if you're biologically female. As in, have an XX chromosome. )

However, it's something I NEVER noticed until I was going through Gray's Anatomy (the book; not the show) and learned that little tidbit. So don't worry about that affecting your ability to pass. (You are actually plenty passable. Though I'd recommend cutting your hair. You could keep it longish, but I don't like long hair on guys, and the curtains look is one of those unisex hairstyles that has that awful tendency to polarize you if your face doesn't quite aesthetically match your target sex.) And I've seen plenty of cisgendered boys whose legs do the same thing. So you'll be fine.

Bear in mind that I mean it as a compliment when I say you look like kiiiiiiiiiinda like Ellen Page, if Ellen Page was a dude.

Do avoid the vnecks though.

Really? I love the look of guys wearing v-necks. I'm ENVIOUS of it. I fantasize about finally having top surgery and being able to wear a v-neck t-shirt like that. And look like a GUY. Albeit, a slightly effeminate guy. (Which is what I was going for anyway.) But a GUY.

Ugh, it aches, sometimes...

When I saw the title of this topic, I was there a little worried there, but actually, you pull this off quite well.

I agree with the above discussion about the second shirt you're wearing. You pass best (ignoring the face, as requested, though I think it's better with your hair back) with the shirt in the third pic. You could also try a polo, maybe. I dunno how well that would work, but it might be worth a shot.

The third pic is really pretty good though. If your hair was cut, you'd either be passing or very close to it.

They look fine. I mean I wear skinnys to look more fem and show off what I got. I mean skinnys are kinda a girls thing anyway. Get boot cut jeans they go in girls sizes too.

Skinny jeans and v-necks for guys are definitely in right now. Especially in Europe. You don't look curvy at all. Very young though. That always seems to be the problem for FTMs, huh? We all end up looking about ten years younger than we should pre-T.

I wear skinny jeans but that's the fashion style I like (rock/scene guy lol) My hips are girl (I guess... I think...) but I pass with girls noticing me (and yeah in an Aww-his-cute way lol)

Those jeans looks more like straight jeans though, but they look great on you.

oh yeah...

We all end up looking about ten years younger than we should pre-T.

I sorta like the fact looking young lol even though I'm like 18 but still XD

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
