Did you know that your clothes are the first thing people notice about you?
It’s true! And that means that the right clothing is critical to your female image.
In this article, I share 10 essentials that should be part of your feminine wardrobe. Here are the must-have transgender / crossdressing clothes you need to own!
1. Little Black Dress
Every woman should own a little black dress. It’s a wardrobe staple. A simple black dress in a flattering length can go from day to night and will never go out of style.
2. Basic Bra
A great fitting bra is every girl’s “breast” friend. Here are 3 tips for choosing the right MTF bra:
- Start with the two basic bra colors: one black and one nude color that matches your skin tone.
- Avoid frilly or lacy textures that can be visible from beneath your clothes.
- If you wear breast forms, choose a full coverage bra with underwires and substantial straps.
Avoid the temptation to wear a white bra under white or lightweight fabrics – white tends to show through while nude blends in with your body.
3. A Vibrant Scarf
A colorful scarf is a wardrobe must. Scarves are extremely versatile, particularly for trans women and crossdressers.
A scarf can be worn around the neck to disguise an Adam’s apple or draped over the shoulders to minimize the look of a broad upper body.
4. Black Pumps
Shoes are your most important accessory. Classic pumps are sexy, feminine, and work well with many types of clothes. Black pumps with a 2″-3″ heel and rounded toe are classic and will give you the most mileage. (Choose a lower heel if you are tall.)
5. Shoulder Bag
Bags are a status symbol among women, so it’s worth investing in a great shoulder bag. You don’t have to splurge on a designer bag, but look for a classy, upscale design that complements your existing wardrobe.
6. Waist Cincher
A waist cincher is a great way to reduce the belly for crossdressers and transgender women who tend to carry weight in the midsection. Here’s how to figure up the sort of waist cincher you’ll need:
- Use a boned waist cincher for a dramatic shaping effect.
- Use a shaping camisole for comfort and control.
7. Two Skirts
Two simple skirts in neutral colors will give you almost endless options for mixing and matching with other items in your feminine wardrobe. Choose:
- One fitted skirt, like a pencil skirt
- One skirt that’s pleated or full
8. Sheer Black Hose or Tights
Bare legs might be trendy, but in cooler months, nothing beats the polished look of hosiery. Control top hose or tights are also great for helping flatten out the tummy. Go for classic black pantyhose or tights.
9. Figure Flattering Jacket
Jackets are endlessly versatile. Since they are more structured than other pieces, they’re great for figure shaping. Look for tailored jackets that accentuate the waist and add curves.
Styles of jackets that work well for crossdressers and transgender women include:
- Peplums
- Belted styles
- Empire waists
- Gathered fabric
- Feminine details like princess seams and darts
Avoid boxy jackets and shoulder pads as these can accentuate a square body shape and/or broad shoulders.
10. Evening Clutch
A sleek clutch can dress up even the most casual outfit and is a must for the evening. Clutches look more chic than shoulder bags at night and can really set your outfit apart.

Love your look hon…wickedly savage!
A very simple black sports bra has been so useful. Full coverage of my breastforms stop them falling out or about, the wireless elastic is super comfy and so many of my low cut dresses and tops are much more wearable because the extra cover looks more natural.
I love my black bra and my tan bra they cover up very.nicely i find the tan one blend in with just about any thing.
I put my sports bra, shorts, and go out for jogging. It’s such a wonderful feeling. Never want any male clothes back on me.
“Michael”…Sweetie, Since I no longer hide my Bra wearing…I wear the Sexiest Bras that I can find !!!
I really love to wear short skirts and dresses,I know it draws too much attention to me but I just love showing off my legs
“sarah”…Sweetie, You Are One Hot Girl…Very Pretty Sexy Legs…I Love Your Choice In Nylons !!!
MMMMM vary sexy !
Very nice
U look amazing honey , keep showing off those sexy legs!
Just found this site. I feel like satin is one of those fabrics that make me feel very feminine and I was so bummed when VS stopped their satin line. http://www.fancysatinpanties.com/
After many months crossdressing I decided go out braless…I feel more me and I like to show the world my small delicate breasts instead of wearing a bra and silicones…I love how my nipples show under the silk or other delicate fabric rather than show the strings of a bra…my opinion.
I have been wearing female clothing since I was 10 years old in the 60’s.
I have closet some dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks jeans high heels shoes, panty hoses, Leggings, and tights including purses, clutches nylon stockings, everything that goes with my feminist looks. I am also male to female transgender.
