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!

Hello Lucille,
I just wanted to know where you found all those wonderful outfits!
I’m in love with a couple of the looks, and would love to know if and where I could purchase them?
Thank you for the very interesting information and lovely clothing styles!

Society assigns colors and styles to groups of people based on their reproductive system. It prevents people from enjoying the variety life has to offer. I was so ecstatic when I felt the freedom to own a pink toothbrush without ridicule. I love all colors and pink is a beautiful color.
Morgan, I share your love of the color pink! If there is a pink version of a product, I will always get it!
Me, a nervous groom, the day I wed my bride. A few years later, we BOTH wore tuxes for our official, LEGAL wedding. My husband’s a relatively regular crossdresser and often wears very conservative skirt suits. Our FIRST wedding, by the way, wasn’t the LAST time that bridal gown saw use!
I’m in suits and bow ties ALL the time, and my husband likes to crossdress. When we were first wed, I wore my tuxedo, and my “bride” wore a gorgeous bridal gown and veil, as you can see. For our official, legal wedding a few years later we both wore tuxedoes. My groom enjoys crossdressing, so I rather relish the very bridal look from our first wedding. The memory of being all tuxed and buttoned-up, and bow tied, feeling my bride pressed up against me in all that bridal gown and veil, just mmm MM !
I’m a guy who wears suits pretty much daily (almost always three-piece), heavily-starched shirts (usually white), and BOW ties, ONLY bow ties. My husband occasionally crossdresses. When we were first wed, I wore my tuxedo with a matching vest and bow tie, my “bride” wore a gorgeous bridal gown and veil, as you can see. For our official, legal wedding a few years later we both wore tuxedoes and bow ties. I rather relish the very bridal look from our first wedding. The memory of being all tuxed and buttoned-up, and bow tied, feeling my bride pressed up against me in all that bridal gown and veil, just mmm MMM! SO romantic! Now he’s in suits and bow ties all the time as well, but that wasn’t the LAST time he wore that bridal gown!
