Did you know that the colors you choose to wear have a huge impact on how others perceive you – especially when presenting as a woman?
Colors convey subtle messages that can influence whether you appear more feminine or masculine.
So, if your goal is to look more feminine as a crossdresser or transgender woman, paying attention to the colors of your clothes and accessories is essential!
In this blog post on trans / crossdressing transformation tips, I share the meanings of 12 different colors and what they project about your female self.
White
White is associated with purity and innocence, which is why it’s traditionally worn by brides. Wear white if you want to look pure, pristine, and impeccable.
Blue
Light blue sends messages of peace, trust, and understanding. Dark blue is associated with authority and masculinity (think police uniforms), so use this color sparingly.
The best shades of blue for crossdressers and transgender women are light blue and baby blue.
Pink
Pink is the color of love and romance. No surprisingly, it’s also the most feminine color, so you may want to incorporate plenty of pink into your wardrobe.
Red
Red is the most intense color of all and is associated with passion, desire, love, and sexuality. Wear red if you want to be noticed.
Black
Black is associated with power, elegance, and formality. Wear black when you want to look sophisticated and mysterious.
Purple
Purple communicates mystery, magic, and creativity. This is a great color to wear if you want to add a touch of fantasy to your look.
Green
Light green symbolizes freshness and youthfulness, while dark green is associated with money and ambition. Wear a gorgeous shade of green to add a fresh, feminine vibe to your look.
Yellow
Yellow is the color of joy and energy. Wear yellow to show off your fun, playful side. Avoid yellow when you want to be taken seriously.
Orange
Like yellow, orange is associated with joy, enthusiasm, and attraction. This is a great color to wear when you want to liven things up.
Brown
Brown is a stable, wholesome, and down-to-earth color. Wear brown for mellow occasions or if you want to appear reliable and genuine.
Gray
Gray is a great color to wear when you need to come across as professional and trustworthy. Too much gray can get boring though, so be sure to punch it up with some fun colors.
Beige
Beige is a simple, conservative color that’s friendly, approachable and non-threatening. It’s perfect for times when you want people to open up to you.

P.S. Color is a HUGE topic that doesn’t just relate to clothes. Hair and makeup are equally important!

I love blues and dark pinks. I feel at my most feminine in these colours. I also love light blue eye-shadow to compliment the clothes and the look.

Black, gray and red show up the best in pictures in winter. Blues, yellows and greens come Spring…
Besides black, purple red orange and bright yellow white. I like bright colors
There is something alluring about that little black dress…..
I love to wear purple… always have. For me it’s the perfect compliment to my feminine side, yet still says that I acknowledge my roots. Maybe that won’t make sense to all of my sister TG folks out there, but I know a few of you will catch my drift.

I chose black since most of my outfits have a black or dark blue background with assorted colored prints. I, also, would have liked to have a 3 or 4 color choice. I also like purple, light to medium blues, greens, and brown. Haven’t tried many other colors, because they seem a little to flambouyant for me.
I would like to get a color assessment to find what colors I might look best in. Haven’t done that yet. Have attempted to do it on my own but don’t know the descripters very well.
Being a VERY tall girl at 6-5, I try to look as slender as possible (what girl doesn’t right?) and black will always do the trick. I also like different variations of reds and gold/browns … Being this tall makes it difficult no matter what I wear … God Bless ..

I tend to favor black. As I learn how to create a wardrobe, black always comes through, pairing a black skirt with a purple or green or red top, or verse visa, occasionally opting for a black top with a colored skirt or pants. I do have a favourite green dress, though. Shoes…now that’s where it always becomes tricky; color, style, heel height, ah, decisions.
