Lazy Dressing Days
Lazy Dressing Days
Although I don't have any real chance of "passing," I find myself more and more discouraged by the limited fashion choices we "Broken Xers" have. I've always been a fan of close fitting apparel such as skinny jeans and leggings and have simply caved in and started wearing pants from "the other side of the aisle." I wear them openly whenever I'm not at work where I'm expected to conform to my gender role.
These days, I'm a big fan of Celebrity Pink jeans and Stylus leggings. I won't lie: I'm still nervous whenever I go out in them, but I try and pair them with Docs or Chucks and a longer, slim polo to at least give a nod to the fact that I have an angular jaw and, maybe, a 5 o'clock shadow (often yesterday's 5pm ) If I found a tunic that I felt comfortable in with my flat chest, I might trade up.
I'm curious: Do you only wear female-labelled clothing after spending the time to truly transform or when you're at home alone? Or are there items you're comfortable wearing from that side of the closet on a regular basis? Panties and hose are easy to conceal. And fashion-forward jeans for guys are starting to look more like the ones marketed to the girls. Or is this type of "mixed mode" dressing too close to being labeled "emo" or "hipster" and not something one should be associated with?
I'm keen to hear what you all think.

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Since I spend quite some time in a chastity belt I dress less than I want.
But I only do it in full stuff when I am home alone. In public, I sometimes wear makeup or a thong and leggings, both aren't visible for anyone but it feels very good. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of stuff, but I am building on my wardrobe

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Hello, zixje.
When you say that you wear leggings in public, are you talking about the thicker outer-wear kind or something more like tights/hose? When I wear leggings, they're quite visible.
Definitely keep building your wardrobe. Life's too short to dress uncomfortably (says the guy who just came in from an evening run in leggings and an athletic shirt ).

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Well, I guess I'm lucky in one way. My wife is bed bound and is getting worse. We don't know how long we have got together. We don't mention it. So I make as much of a bad thing as I can. It calms me down and I find I don't lose my temper so much.
However, I don't get out much and the only company we have is the carers. They love to see me in my nurses uniforms and wonder how many I have got and what colours there are.
I am turning our house into a maharaja's palace for her as we can't get away for holidays. I'm brining the holiday indoors for her. I have both the maharajah's outfit and the maharini's one two along with the loin cloth for the lower caste of people. But getting the sari on will be a problem. It takes a long time to get it right.
None of them have seen this years outfits, but a few have seen my belly dancers outfit. Two of them in the see through pantaloons. One loved the knickers I was wearing (two pair to hold certain parts back).
But I can't do it all the time. Yesterday I spent the whole day in one of my uniforms and was told to nurse her back to health. She was poorly, but I did get her back.
Today will be spent in my dark green uniform with the slits up the side that just reveals a hint on my petticoat. One of the girls loves to see me in my matrons navy inform. I have got a lilac one which matches their uniforms and they love it. Sometimes we get agency staff in and I match their maroon uniforms as well.
They go in fits of laughter. It's lovely to see it.

I used to be weird and kinky. But then I joined Bound Forum and became normal.
Re: Lazy Dressing Days
It's the thicker outer-wear kind. I wear them a lot like this: thong, and over that a legging. Over that, I wear pants. So nobody will see itDrPerVECT wrote:Hello, zixje.

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
@zixje,
Oh, you should go out in leggings! Why cover them up? If you're not in the US, people near you can't be that opinionated.
I do live in the US and have worn leggings in the open even in places like Alabama. I've gotten just as many sniggers as compliments, so why conceal it?
@restricted,
My sincere condolences. Your experience as well as watching both of my parents pass at early ages just reminds me that life is short and there's no point in being what other people want me to be.

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
No I don't live in the US but on the other side of the big lake.
Maybe, when it's starting to get dark, I can try to go outside. It will be my first time so I will do it when it's nearly dark. But when wearing leggings, I love it to wear heels and that may be too much...

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
The first time I went out wearing leggings in the open, I walked a friend home in the late evening. I felt very exposed. Especially on the long, solitary walk back to my place. But nobody seemed to care. Nobody called out an epithet or challenged me on the street. And that got me to start wearing the clothing that I felt good in.
Twenty five years later, I've had a few cat-calls, a few outright compliments, and a couple of mixed reactions. I can count them all on two hands worth of fingers. I used to only wear leggings for evening walks. Occasionally. Now I wear them on most days of a normal week.
You'll be fine. I look forward to hearing how your first outing goes.

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Maybe I will try it this evening
What do you wear on top of them? A shirt or dress? And what kind of shoes?

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
I would say to start simply. Many girls just wear a long t-shirt and sneakers with their leggings. But some wear boots.
Pick a quiet, but not deserted, place to go. Maybe just a walk around a residential neighborhood. Try to focus on feeling the clothing you're wearing. To me, leggings just feel right. Baggy jeans and slacks feel like a costume to me.
When you get home, just remember that nobody said anything. They let you be yourself. This experience will build your confidence that you can be who you are in public.
Every time you go out, dress a little more the way you want to and, maybe, pick up a drink at the local convenience store. Keep focusing on being yourself, feeling the attire that makes you happy, and don't even consider what anyone else might be thinking. It's not important.
Try not to make my mistake: I would constantly rehearse excuses as I walked. "Oh, it's laundry day" or "My girlfriend just sent me out to pick something up." I'd focus on the excuse and worry about others' reactions. That's not the point. The point is to be who you are and enjoy being that person. Life's too short to wait for permission to be yourself.

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Thank you for your explanation and encouraging! Currently I am dressed in leggings (with a thong underneath to avoid panty lines), a wide long shirt and high heeled boots. The boots I will change for sneakers when I go out.
Re: Lazy Dressing Days
I did it! I was in a long wide shirt, leggings and sneakers. I passed a few people and... All went well, as you predicted
Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Awesome!
Now you have to keep it up.
When I'm not at work, I tend to wear leggings with a slim-fit polo and brown Doc Marten boots. I've gotten no grief and, in fact, I've gotten a couple of compliments when I wore plain black leggings.
Be yourself!

Re: Lazy Dressing Days
Thank you again!
I enjoyed the feeling, it felt great. My next walk will be longer . I hesitated between sneakers and my (high heeled) boots, but for the first time sneakers were the best thing to choose . There will be a next time soon
