Summer has arrived, and it’s time to show some skin!
But for crossdressers and transgender women seeking MTF passing tips, summer presents unique opportunities and challenges.
So, what’s the secret to maintaining a stylish and feminine look as the temperature rises?
In this blog post, I’ll highlight 6 summer style mistakes to avoid on your male to female journey.
Mistake #1 – Shorts That Are Too Short
Many crossdressers and transgender women have beautiful legs, and it’s great to show them off! However, the mistake here is wearing shorts that are excessively short or too tight.
They tend to ride up uncomfortably when you walk, revealing more than intended. Opt for shorts with a more decent length to keep your look classy.
Mistake #2 – Heavy Makeup
Heavy makeup may feel out of place in the summer and can become runny and cakey when you sweat. Ditch the heavy foundation, thick eye makeup, and vampy lipstick.
Instead, go for a lighter makeup look to appear fresh and feminine.
Mistake #3 – Self-Tanner Blunders
While we all know sunbathing isn’t great for our skin, applying self-tanner incorrectly is a major no-no. Nothing’s worse than an orange or streaky tan.
Check product reviews and learn proper application techniques to avoid these self-tanner faux pas. This video has some great tips.
Mistake #4 – Casual Flip Flops
Summer and flip flops go hand in hand, but the wrong sandals can spoil your whole outfit.
While casual flip flops are perfect for the beach or poolside, they can look too informal for other occasions. Opt for stylish and structured summer sandals to elevate your look.
Mistake #5 – Visible Bra Straps
Strappy summer styles can pose a bra challenge. Visible bra straps can make your outfit look less polished. Here are some solutions:
- Use a bra strap clip to help keep bra straps under control.
- Wear a strapless bra to avoid bra straps altogether.
Mistake #6 – Sloppy Style
Summer styles are often more casual, but there’s a fine line between casual and sloppy. Avoid the ragged cut-offs, dirty flip flops, and worn-out tank tops.
Instead, stand out with classy shorts, pretty dresses, and casually polished pieces.
Now, show off your summer style!
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Can you think of any other summer style mistakes to add to this list?

Being a golfer I like a nice skort and polo shirt. Of course a summery halter dress is always fashionable.
Luv to all
This is my Outfit for Summer:)
What do you mean:)
Very hot Lady!!!
For some of us who are a bit shy to venture out in public, this could be an opportune time because we can wear a face mask with 6ft distancing and the establishments that are open are not full of crowds.
and sunglasses and a hat . . . not that I am thinking about it 🙂
Here I am today – the new normal! I’m at Kohl’s. I hate it now that all the fitting rooms at these places are closed! Not to mention having to wear a dang mask! Oh well, I’m in one of my favorite summer sundresses. I still had fun being out and being treated like a lady. I’m a senior citizen at 74 years young!
Hi Suzy,
I just love your posts and pics. we’re about the same size and weight. i’m wondering what size and cup bra you wear. i think you’d look even more beautiful in some tops or dresses that reveal more of you.
Love,
AmberLinn
Hi AmberLinn! I just wear tops and dresses that are age appropriate and as feminine as possible. I wear a size 40C bra. Thanks again, I appreciate your comment! Hugs, Suzy

Hi TJ! Thanks for the sweet compliment! It’s 90 here today where I live, love my sundresses! And I love your dress too!! Very cute! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Suzy
I think I’m part polar bear. I just love cool weather, gray skies, even rain, and especially SNOW. But I can enjoy lovely summer days also. I kinda look at the sun as the enemy, however, out to get me. So I practice protection: sunscreen, clothes which keep the sun off, time in the shade, etc. With the sometimes splurge of lots of exposure, like swimming. Within that range, there are plenty of clothes which keep the enemy at bay, yet look good and feel good. Especially lightweight loose, comfy flowing dresses, which let the breezes caress and soothe, and big floppy hats, with scarves and streamers for that dashing 19th century traveller look. Yup, summer has its appealing side, too.
