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.

Black my favorite color
Love black
Hi – I like all colors! About the only color I don’t wear much would be red I guess. I have honey blond hair so most clothing colors work for me fine. I am fairly small, 5’6”, so I just buy clothes I like regardless of the color. Also, I’m 75 years old, so I try to find clothes that are appropriate for my age, however I still like sexy clothes once in awhile too! Here I am the other day at Macy’s trying on shoes! What do you think? Hugs, Suzy
My personal favorite color range is dark reds/maroons. And I wear a lot of black.
Not colors per se, but I’m fond of flower prints on dark backgrounds, I have quite a few items like that, leopard prints are also a favorite.
Beige & grey are just Sooo boring–but seems to be the latest Fad–weather it’s clothing/cars or home decorating–& folks are Adding grey to other paints even–(esp blue) just to make them look Drab–I don’t understand it-
I like to change colours to match my moods
Pink and black mix well for me.. even at 52 years old I still like to feel sexy sometimes and break the mold that women at 52 shouldn’t wear short skirts anymore… The men I encounter beg to differ usually.. 🙂
I hear you! I started 3 years ago at age 58.
Someone looking at my chronological age from the outside might consider me to be “trying to hard”, but I don’t feel quite ready to “dress my age” and relinquish all the perks of a somewhat younger woman in terms of style, color, accessories, hair.
I’m regularly taken to be in my mid- to late-40s (sometimes younger), so I think I’m doing something right.
I LOVE being pretty in pink but I’ll wear red anytime if ii helps me show my assets, especially from behind!
Love,
