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 like many colors, especially pink but knew it would be #1 here so was definitely not going to be one of the crowd as I like to be different 🙂
I like the way yellow looks on me although but would never be my first choice but there you go.
Like black and red, like the vast majority of GG, not a brown person, reminds me to much of Autom and what comes next, burr!

I am a great fan of Pink, but also wear white with Beige, and occasionally a Brownish beige Floral skirt, but my overall favorite is a Pink Top with a Black, and Pink Floral Pattered Skirt.
My favorite color is Turquoise. I do wear a lot of Black and White prints, and lately I have noticed more beige and light brown in my closet.
I’m a fall person and my color pallette includes purple. Always one of my favorites so how could I go wrong? Red is a strong second though.
O.K. You all made me rethink colors I said I wouldn’t wear. I still won’t wear browns or beiges. But, I can now see the virtues of pink (especially hot pink), yellow, orange and green (though my worst fashion mistake was green). In my samples, I could probably get away with the green one, but probably not the other ones, the colors possibly, but not the styles. I absolutely love the hot pink color! Now, I definitely have to get a hot pink cashmere sweater–I was thinking I’d get a black one, since it would be easy to be in drab with it, as well as en femme. But, guys wear pink too. So, why not a hot pink cashmere sweater? People would look and some people would make comments, especially if I were in drab. But, I could handle little bit of attention. I hope Santa is checking in!
Perhaps I prefer Black overall with lighter colors for my blouse and accessories. .
i love gray, pink, blue and black
I love to wear my red dress with a pair of red pumps when I go out! This outfit makes me feels so feminine and the feeling is wonderful!
