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 have a wide varity of colors it just depends upon my mood and where I am going. I find its fun to be open and flirtatious when shopping I am able to open more doors then to be afraid of what people will think of me.
I’m too afraid to try doing this in public, but I’d say red is nice, and blue would be nice since — I’m told — we look good in the color of our eyes.
My favourite colours to wear are yellow and red (not necessarily together) – they give me a feeling of fun and openness. However I do enjoy wearing black from time to time, I suppose it’s all dependant upon my mood. A ‘mix and match’ between these colours seems to work well for me.
Love,

It depends on the occasion. Now around the Holidays I have been wearing
red & black. I have a pretty decent wardrobe of colors and am good with
selecting and matching.
I tend to wear a lot of black, but add colour too. Depending on how I feel I want to look dictates whether its a short or long skirt.
I enjoy your stuff, keep up the excellent work

It is very nice to know what all the different colors mean, but it is all determined by what your coloring and undertones are in your skin. That means that you have to stay within your pallet to always look your very best.
I’m a winter which means that I look especially good in cool colors and silver jewelry. Winters look best in true winter colors like true blue, true green–the bold colors you see in a winter landscape. And winters look the best out of all others seasons in black. An excellent book on what are your colors is “Color Me Beautiful.” It will keep you from wasting money on colors that that don’t flatter your feminine self and wash you out instead of bringing out the very best in your femininity.
I love pink, and suit brown (mathes my eyes) I am going to wear a lot of turqoise in 2010, with brown below my waist, and brown accessories.
i think all coulour are good
my favourite is black and yellow …
